I think everyone saw that one coming. 0 need to risk one of our most important players in round 2, especially given the mounting injury toll to our backline and having lost Salem for a third of the year. 
Rivers is a good replacement for Salem from a like for like opponent matchup perspective so at least that’s something.

    Here is a previously unreleased image of Jake Lever sustaining his plantar fascia injury.

    Hope to see you back out there next week, Rick!

    So one of the ‘bros’ from the Deebrief podcast is saying that he is hearing whispers that Lever’s injury is much worse than reported.

    Take of that blah blah blah.

    I just came on here to post that I'd heard the same thing from someone who has a relatively good connection to the club.

    But also why would you risk Lever or Hibbo in a round 3 game against a side that don’t have much of a forwardline either.

    I thought we were past playing cute little games with our injured players, but Petty, Lever and Hibberd are now all well outside the timeframes initially provided for their returns.

    If Lever's injury is really that bad, just let us know and we'll move on.

    Why do we need to know?

    They are showing Hibbo and Lever one week, Petty 2 - 3 weeks and Salo 5 - 7 weeks and Turner 4 - 5. So could be closer than we thought.!!

    Don't like the sound of Lever's foot. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a 10-12 week injury.

    I’m slightly concerned about the handling of our injuries compared to last yr. 
    Salem came back to early, Riv looked proppy on the weekend and some of the current injuries Hibbo, Petty times keep getting pushed out.

    Is the Salem injury related to his pre-season one? Or is it a completely new and unrelated problem?

    6 players, 5 defenders, 4 premiership players

    Despite this our defence seems to be hanging in there.  Says a lot about depth.

    Sounds like Lever is still at least 2 weeks away as well:

    “Jake is still experiencing a bit of swelling and pain in his foot. We thought he might be playing as early as this week, but that won’t be the case. It looks like he’ll need at least need another week, which is disappointing, but we don’t want to risk anything there.”

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
