2021 Injury List

Lord Nev
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Just as concerning is his second concussion in a very short time. If he doesn't show any symptoms in the coming days then he should at least be able to train normally without contact which will at least keep his fitness up until the fracture heals.

    Steven, I felt that up on level two !  Get well soon.  You are a critical component of our run to the finals in 2021.  Thank you

    Pretty sure it was a dead set give away by Goodwin that it will be Petty who comes in.. this whole notion of Daw coming is simply not going to happen.

    Seems odd they would say he had an eye socket fracture but only up to a month out.

    Must be 4 atleast. Looks like he walked into the path of a Mack truck.

    Tom Stewart had surgery in 2017 and missed 3 weeks. If it isn't as major as that it's possible it could just be 2 weeks.

    I understand that most people think it was accidental on Hawkins behalf (I’m not so sure given the blokes record) but even if it was unintentional isn’t there some duty of care from Hawkins not to throw a wild elbow? The fact that it no doubt caused concussion plus a head fracture surely he should be up at the tribunal? 
    Personally I’d give him 3 weeks but that could be because of my Geelong hate

    If he's going to be out for at least a few weeks then perhaps the club could investigate bonding adamantium to his bones, the same material used by Wolverine the fictional comic character.

    Damn that sucks but there were some suggesting 4-6 or even longer. 2-4 sucks but let’s deal with it and move on, big opportunity for Petty. 

    As for Hawkins, I think it was an accident though his reckon for cheap shots is well known. I won’t lose sleep if he doesn’t get any weeks for it, kind feel like the momentum for May’s tackle played a big part.

    Hibbard may also come in over these weeks (maybe at the expense of Jetta)?

    Where we can I am all for playing the younger types. Petty for mine.

    Petty is a lock however we may see Hibbard as well (maybe for Jetta) based on his BOG at Casey practice match last weekend). Lockhart another possibility.

    The article says he has a fractured eye socket - which involves bone damage (fracture)!

    one small plus is that it should not limit his running and other fitness work.

    Perhaps a phantom like mask and he can even join in light contact training in a week or so.

    Don't be too believing Pates  what's the bet it slips to 426 next week.

    Ouch.  Won't be showing that to the loved one or any and all future children will be barred from playing.

    This is a big test for the team and I am glad we managed so well without him in the second half against Geelong. Lever was visibly fired up with the urgency of getting things organised and demanding no silly slips.

    It is also things like this that make getting that good early start (Four from four! Always fun to say!) so important.

    Huge relief that, ugly as it is, it is only expected to be a short period out.

    Hibberd in would be my choice because he has maturity, the good kick, and the intercept awareness to best fit our overall plan.

     

    Like for Like  is best Petty deserves his chance.

    If it was Rivers or Salem then Hibbo is fine butneed 2 talls  plus Jake who freelances a bit !

    This has not been an MFC diagnosis OD so 2-4 is likely.

    I'm not as bullish about our prospects with May out. He's our most important player, and you can't easily replace gun key defenders.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
