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.

    Jake Bowey has made a miraculous recovery 

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
