His skills let him down at times but I wonder if he could be a September wild card if he somehow finds himself in the side in August?

Big bodied contested player that wouldn’t be afraid of nailing the big goal in a final.

His skills are terrible and you have to nominate who he will replace....

His days in the firsts are gone I;m afraidi

We only need Viney. he is standalone as a top 5 player.

The rest? Petty is a very good replacement for Tomlinson. And it seems Weid and Ben Brown are of a probable similar worth to the team ATM.

 

we have three players on our injury list

three!

halfway thru the year!!!

what even is this world in which we're in...

half our team is clearly gonna come down with covid on the eve of the finals, right?

I was so happy reading this. Truly  uplifted. Until the last sentence. ?

With 45 on the list, 23 required for MFC duties and 3 injured - I make that 19 MFC listed players available for Casey this weekend.

 

Round 15: Injury List

Jack Viney (toe) —  Available

Bailey Laurie (eye socket) — Available

Deakyn Smith (ankle) — Available

Joel Smith (knee) — Available

Marty Hore (knee) — 8 to 10 Weeks

Aaron Nietschke (knee) — Season

Adam Tomlinson (knee) — Season


The club’s injury report is up on the MFC site. Injuries minimal and limited to our three ACL players. No mention of Mitch Brown who left the ground early in the Casey game which was reported as a “heel injury”.

Round 16: Injury List

Marty Hore (knee) — 7 to 9 Weeks

Aaron Nietschke (knee) — Season

Adam Tomlinson (knee) — Season

Surely if he went down first quarter and didn’t come back you’d think something is wrong with M. Brown’s heel. Weird they wouldn’t at least just mention it and say he’s ok, but hopefully it just means he’s fine for this weekend! 

I think I can say with confidence that is the shortest injury list we have ever had at round 15.  at least in a long long time

reasons for this?  we have a mature team with many preseasons under the belt, Burgess, good coaching, physios/fitness staff, good luck

Well done to all!


Yes, the list just doubled in size -

Injury List: Round 17

Mitch Brown (heel) — 2 Weeks

Bailey Laurie (shoulder) — 4 to 5 Weeks

Nathan Jones (calf) — TBC

Marty Hore (knee) — 7 to 8 Weeks

Aaron Nietschke (knee) — Season

Adam Tomlinson (knee) — Season

Thankfully, Fraser Rosman has escaped injury after going off against Werribee last Saturday with hamstring tightness. Also, Tom Sparrow who was seen in the hands of the trainers late in that game seems to have pulled up okay.

Injury List: Round 18

Nathan Jones (calf) —  1 to 2 Weeks

Mitch Brown (heel) — 2 to 3 Weeks

Bailey Laurie (shoulder) — 3 to 4 Weeks

Marty Hore (knee) — 6 to 7 Weeks

Aaron Nietschke (knee) — Season

Adam Tomlinson (knee) — Season

What happened to Deakin Smith?

With these Injury reports,  Feels like we're getting a full viewing of the extended backroom cast to prepare for a post Burgo era aha

In Previous years has it been the same? (Dif staff etc)

Deakyn Smith had an ankle injury recently but it’s a bit of a concern if he’s had a recurrence and we’re not being told about it.

It's (unfortunately) well known that Burgo is heading to Adelaide.

Old man injuries catching up with Jones. Really hope he can get himself fit before finals and give himself the best chance he can to make the side. 

 

So, why was T. Mac sent for scans today? (Wednesday)

  • 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.
