Watching Goodys press conference, Viney is still 2 weeks off, appears he has had a small setback. Might not play till after the bye is my gut feel.

    I'd like to know when Viney's 2 weeks actually starts. It was originally 2 weeks duration when it happened 3 weeks ago and hasn't shifted since.

    I also reckon these Injury Reports should be taken with a grain of salt. Jacko's broken finger wasn't reported in the R9 Injury Report at all - even though it was evident prior from both post R8 game images vs Swans as well as it was also being reported on DL that he'd miss.

    Jackson ready to come back in this week ahead of schedule.

    Viney also available for selection.

    Scans have cleared Jake Bowey of any serious injury and he is available this week too.

    I'm confused. 

    Viney available for selection.

    In two weeks?

    I"m not sure we can fully trust those graphics. Glad to hear Bowey escaped serious injury and will play this week. Also pleasing to hear Laurie will get back into training, presumably non-contact, and will be fit for VFL in the second half of the season.

    ****. I wonder whether that was an increase in load to try to get him right for this week.

    Yep. Thank god it flared up at training and not during a game. 
    Seriously his feet are never not going to be a problem. That he can’t get thru training is a major worry.

    Maybe not. Maybe it was just a minor injury in the first place.

    man the injury report is a dogs breakfast. I thought Hore was out for the season. he’s now down at 10-12. i get that’s close to seasons end but that difference may be important if we get injuries close to finals.

    Dare I say that the club isn’t keeping the supporters in the dark.

    Instead they aren’t letting every opposition club know what’s wrong with one of our most important players, and therefore how to target him.

    How do oppositions target 'a groin'?

    And back to the subject, why was Goodwin so notably unforthcoming, when asked about the injury in his post-game?

    It's interesting...the rumour/inside gos has been it's a groin.

    ...but if true there would seem little advantage in keeping it secret, it would be doubtful that he would play & no one to target.

    Although it may keep the dogs guessing & having to plan even though he mightn't play. So may make sense.

    However if it were a shoulder problem, or maybe a facial injury I could understand not telegraphing that to opponents.

    Let's just hope he plays...

    Target a groin? 

    Rightio. 

    Cripps has been playing with a sore back which every club has known about since round 1. Haven't seen anyone target his back. 

    Jack Viney's foot? 

    Not sure your view adds up.

    Maybe it’s a slight strain and the club are not sure if he’ll get up so can’t say confidently either way until Wednesday training.

    Sometimes imo these things are used to cover up something they'd prefer not to go public, for example a personal situation, breakup in a relationship for example. it's a good way to keep the media from digging into it and buy the player a bit of space. 

    Not saying that's the case with Christian but potentially it could be given the situation.

    Seriously, what do you care?

    There may be 100 reasons why they don't want others to know about a players injury.

    Let them do their job.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
