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.

Club had a light run yesterday and were doing ball skills etc.

Salem was restricted to jogging laps it seems.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
