    Surely AVB won’t be right. I thought he was meant to be out for 12 weeks.

    It has already been around a month since round 1 and doubtful that we will be back playing before July.

    A point that Goodwin made in that article is a good one, Burgess has experience with tight turnarounds and condensed fixtures. The premier league is such a crammed fixture during December and having that knowledge of how to approach it could be key.

    No mention the Preusster. 
     

    He must also be good to go by now.

    Having a deep list could be a significant advantage in a compressed fixture as I think most sensible clubs would be looking to rest players week to week, to avoid burning out their best 22.  If Burgess and the selection committee can get that balance right as the season progresses, I actually think we are in pretty good shape.

    Conversely, I really do hope the league think things through and put a sensible end date on season 2020.  As MFC supporters, we have witnessed first hand what carrying too many injuries into a preseason does in 2019.  To be honest, I'm pretty much hoping that we treat 2020 as a development year to get key players and our system right for season 2021, which hopefully is something like a more normal season.

    The lay-off will be benefiting all injured players from all clubs you’d expect.

    having said that, clubs like Richmond with fewer (almost no injuries) don't have the same benefit that teams with lots of injured players returning from injury have.

    And, conversely, didn't I read somewhere that one club's players (was it West Coast?) have got their isolation training regime wrong  and a number of players have sustained soft tissue injuries?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
