I don’t get it. Can someone please explain this? 

Referring to the "games experience named on the injury list"?

If so, add up the number of career games played by those players on the injury list and there's your total.

In our case, it consists primarily of Tomlinson (160 odd) and Hunt (90 odd) plus Marty Hore's few.

 

 

I don’t quite understand this but the club’s weekly injury report says that Jayden Hunt is a week behind where he was last week. And was supposed to be on the improve.

Injury List: First Qualifying Final
Jayden Hunt (ankle) — 2 to 3 Weeks
Marty Hore (knee) — Season
Aaron Nietschke (knee) — Season
Adam Tomlinson (knee) — Season

Huh …

Jayden Hunt had Tightrope surgery and if he's not in full training he's very close to it.

I'd be surprised if he is not available for the PF.


Whatever the muscle, it’s strange that his prognosis in terms of recovery date has worsened in the past week.

AFL website has Hunt as 'Test'.  

  • Marty Hore Knee Season
  •  Jayden Hunt Ankle Test
  •  Aaron Nietschke Knee Season
  •  Adam Tomlinson Knee Season

He should be fine for the Prelim.

Well, we’ll, well …

Two out of three ain't bad.  Just ask Meatloaf!  :D


Tough call coming, I don’t know if we can find a way to bring in Hunt. I was all up for Smith out for Jayden but the flexibility of having him in the team may be too good. 

I actually think Hunt as sub could work quite well, can play back or forward and could even inject some pace into the midfield if needed.

Someone posted on FB that SEN is reporting that Joel Smith has done a hammy and is set to be replaced by Hibbo. Anyone know if this is fact?

Yes, it is a fact that SEN reported that.

I feel sorry for Smith as it was a big effort to get back in the side.  The silver lining is that it opens the door for Hunt who I think would have come in anyway. 


Tough on Smith poor bloke starts to find a place and then gets injured (again). Hibberd for Smith does seem like the logical replacement but I hope Hunt is in the calculations as well. 

Can we fix Steven May? That’s the biggest question in the next fortnight.  He’s so important to the team.  A true leader on and off field.  


He came back on for a quarter.

Reckon he'd have to lose his leg during the week to miss.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
