Interesting Burgo hasn't done the injury report for 3-4 weeks. 

If it gets to 4-6 then we'll know he's gone

Joel Smith

3-4 season(s)

How prescient

Wow. Must be quite some injury!

Poor old Marty Hore has gone from “season” to “10 to 12 weeks” and back to “season”. Mind you, if our gold standard contact tracing lives up to form, we could all be out for the season before too long.

Injury List: Round 11

Christian Salem (groin) — Available

Aaron vandenBerg (quad) — Available

Jack Viney (toe) — 2 to 3 Weeks

Joel Smith (knee) — 3 to 4 Weeks

Deakyn Smith (ankle) — 4 to 5 Weeks

Bailey Laurie (eye socket) — 5 to 6 Weeks

Marty Hore (knee) — Season

Aaron Nietschke (knee) — Season

Adam Tomlinson (knee) — Season

 

I did mistakenly suggest that we hold AVDB back until the PF. Let him cut loose now if he's fit but within limits. Hit a few hard in the meantime. Have a few games. But save his best aggression for the GF. Just like Essendon did to us. No quarter spared. (Long memory and still dreaming).

[censored] you Mfc for mismanaging Viney.  7 weeks for a for injury which is what we all knew pre-season would resurface. he is so important. Tearing your ligaments is less than 7 weeks. ffs!!!!!!!!


Hore might have been put to season so we have flexibility with mid season draft. 

Club doing the right thing with Vines, holding him until after our break, very sensible.

Yep, we can afford to do this too. If we were 5-5, he'd be playing, I reckon.

Targeting a groin would be a new level of low.

Richmond match committee now excitedly planning that exact thing. Hardwick reminiscing about punching MFC players in the throat.

They can get tactical advice from Vlaustin and Short.

but a hot spot can be more than 7 weeks since thats the injury that Vin has. I assume your no medical Dr???

Mystery injury of the last month- Burgo. Hasn’t taken one of these injury updates in ages. Has he already gone back to SA?

No he's still at the club doing what he does.


Finally sounds like a definitive 1-2 weeks for Viney, rather than a guess

Viney officially ruled out til after the byes. so a 1-2 weeks injury has turned into 7 weeks (minimum). Its not good enough. Either jack has played through an injury making it worse or the club doctors haven't respected his long foot injury history enough. this is pissing me off so much. he is so important to us

  • 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.
