Viney to play VFL by all accounts, can’t see Hib or Melk rushed back either.  They might be ‘fit’ but are they ‘right’?

great news re Lockhart - 2 to 3 weeks.

crap news re Brown and Weids - look r6 or r7 before we see these guys.  Both running though.

    I thought Hibberd's 2020 was average.  That aside, imv others offer more this year so we can cover him with the players I mentioned.  

    My insight on J. Smith is he is listed as 'Test' in the table earlier in this thread.  Round 1 is about 3 weeks after the injury so 'Test' looks about right for him.

    Bowey is one I suggested in my post.

    One has to look at 2020 form and Hibbo does not deserve to be dropped for that at all in fact he was one of our very good defenders along with May Saleme late in year and Rivers in the last 5 games. Think of what happened this time last year as he mourned his brothers loss. Very courageous effort in 2020 and IMO let no one down.

    Although  injured Up to now he has played 1 and a half games last week in best 3 so firm good on both areas.

    Contrast  this with Melky who had poor seasons in both 2019 ( injury also) and 2020 and has hardly played a quarter so far. 
    Who should or deserves to replace Hibbo LC? 
    We have to be careful that we don't go too tall for Fyfe and Taberner vs Freo.

    I wasn't disparaging Hibberd. 

    I think his courage and committment last after losing his brother was enormous.  All credit to him for the year he had.

    Not sure I want to go around in circles about our respective views of his 2020 season and where he fits into the team this year so I'll leave it at that.

    I just feel he is right at the end of his career and I think the one year contract shows  that.

    More to say I think we have gone past him and his weaknesses,

    He's cooked. 

    I think he'll faze out of the team Bernie Vince style.

    After all these years I am still amused at the crap that clubs write.

    Normal for over 30  year olds but he is totally different from Nev who is in fast pace decline sadly.

    There’s enough quality with enough training for it to be no excuse. Brown and Weideman are really the only 2 injuries

    Certainly can't make excuses this week as the Dockers have more injuries than we do

    Yes they do and I won't be making any excuses.

    The problem is we have a few best 22 players getting some minutes for Casey such as Viney, Melksham and Hibberd which does not help us at all come tomorrow. 

    Hoepfully next week Vs St Kilda we can add at least 2 of those 3 names into the side.

    In Melkshams form last year he is nowhere near the intensity and skill for a senior birth without earning it.

    Weideman, Ben Brown -6-7weeks

    Early prognosis

    It was a good week on the injury front for the Demons, with Hibberd (ankle), Melksham (hamstring) and Viney (foot) all making it through a VFL practice match unscathed. Their impending availability adds to the clean bill of health that the side enjoyed following Saturday's win over the Dockers. - Riley Beveridge

    • 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.
