Good news on the injury front

Featured Replies

Posted

The injury list has been pared back a little and the good news is that Brock McLean is available this week and Clint Bartram is also available after a long lay off due to that ankle injury suffered in round 22 last year. Jace Bode's back however, seems to be deteriorating:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) available

Jace Bode (back) 3-4 weeks

Brock McLean (thigh) available

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 1 week

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 1 week

Isaac Weetra (hamstring) 1 week

Any news on Daniel Hayes appreciated especially by dazzledavey36.

Last week's injury list was:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jace Bode (back) 2 - 3 weeks

Ben Holland (hip) test

Travis Johnstone (foot) test

Brock McLean (thigh) 1 week

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 2 -3 weeks

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Paul Wheatley (ankle) test

Holland, Johnstone and Wheatley all made it through their tests and played in practice matches at the weekend.

 

Awesome news, I heard barty wasn't gonna be back until round 4!? Alwell, all is good but he probably wont be the same missing a pre-season.

LOL at 426, guys got amnesia, still thinks hes playing for us...

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

It never gets old

:lol:

And if that injury news is accurate regarding Brock, Colin and Bartram then we couldnt be in better shape for Round 1!!

 

Very happy. Will be supprised if Bartram has as good a year as 06 but u cant blame him due to injurey and little preseason. Any news on Moloney...will he be back to his stellar season he had with Geelong.

Saw that Saints have massive injury issues. Hammil, Kosi, Reiwoldt, R Clark, Hudghton, Guardner. Looks good so far. Hopefully Guerig will try and dodge Caroll again and rub him out for the season. I would LOVE that :D

What? Is Nick Smith still a dee?

I thought he got released?


Sylvia is 1 week like I'm 1 week!! Sylvia is closer to 2 months, despite reports.

Correct, and don't get excited about Bartram either.

His ankle may have healed, but he has a fair few weeks of fitness training before he's ready to play. He will most likely play a couple of half games at Sandy, before they contemplate selecting him in the side.

As for Sylvia, Round 8 would be a good result.

 

Word is that Col is a long way off still. The upside is that if he recovers and then plays 3 weeks for Sandy and comes through ok, he'll be as keen as mustard come mid-season/serious end. I have an awful feeling however that even this is optimistic, but I wish him the best.

Despite what some might think simply playing games is going to be the best way to get Bartram fit for a return to AFL level.

Go Dees


Bartram is NOT in the squad... 2-3 weeks to available in the space of a week?

occo what about the season Beamer played for MELBOURNE...it was worth 4th in the B+F

Point taken but u must admit u would be dissopointed since we have got him and hes been injury prone. What is it with our club and OP

Does anyone actually know the full story on Sylvia. I know we had to wait quite a while to get the best out of Trav, and patience is important with young players. The story is that the kid can seriously play and I am willing to wait as long as it takes and stand by the bloke for a few years if we have to - and I hope we do. It's just frustrating not getting to see him out on the field week in and week out. Brock has already become a star and he was picked in the same draft. I dare say that Sylvia might already be classed as good as Brock if he'd had a couple of pre-seasons and 50 games under his belt. It's sad that the kid just can't take a trick at the moment. Can anyone shed more light?

He's got OP, and it's a condition that he's had since before he was drafted.

I think he was badly managed as a youngster, and now our club is trying to solve this problem for him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
