Never thought I'd be saying this after the first few rounds of the season, but we will really miss having Hibberd in the side if he does miss this week.  I think it would be sensible to give him this game off so he can be cherry ripe for the Freo match, but he has been terrific since making his way back into the side.

 

Makes his effort in coming back on and laying a crucial tackle even more valiant.

I must have missed something - what is the nature of Angus' foot tendon injury?  

Was it an in game impact or some chronic strain?

 

Also any inside info on how Jackson has been training and / or scratch matches?

Burgo's replacement seems pretty bullish around us making finals with Jones' prognosis.

I'd have termed it Season rather than 1 week. Even if we do make the finals.

 

In the 'Captain's Run' Gus said his foot is a lisfranc injury.  Says he heard it pop in the Sydney game and it would have been better to not have come back on.

Expects to be ready to run at the start of the preseason.

Much much  better than navicular.

This is a relief. I was worried that he'd miss a chunk of it given the duration.


We've had a really good run with injury this year compared to other sides as well as our previous seasons.

Really hope it continues next year as it should allow us to once again contend for the 8.

The lisfranc injury sounds familiar, I thought that was the one that Mitch Clark had with us (hopefully if ti is it's a significantly lower severity).

Dees

Brayshaw ? 

Jones ?

Bombers

Mcgrath ?

Fantasia ?

Heppell ?

 

Apart from these blokes, both teams have probably best part of best 22 available.  I think we left Sparrow Harmes Jackson out due to maintaining winning team  

 

We’ve had a fairly good run with injury this year. The best we’ve had I  a fair few years.

Im not sure if I should feel good about this, or very annoyed about sitting firmly in the middle of the road given the circumstances.

Just a shoulder clean out for Clarry. Shouldn't cause him too much grief over the pre season.

How many off-season surgeries do we have this year?

Apparently had a second shoulder reconstruction, first one didn't repair as they would have liked.

Played the majority of the year in pain with it.

So which one is it?

I really wish there was more transparency from the club in regards to injuries and in particular post season surgeries. Afterall post season surgeries were blamed for our poor 2019 season.

I'm not suggesting that detailed medical histories be released but it would be nice to be reassured that we are not going to go into the preseason as the walking wounded.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
