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

He was running and kicking in Monday’s training gallery on the website. If it was that bad, he wouldn’t be weight bearing, let alone running. Reckon another week or two sounds right. 

 

I would almost prefer hearing them say, we hope Jake will be fine in a couple of weeks but we won’t be considering him for selection for at least 4 weeks to play things conservative. 

Just rule him out for a while and then if he gets back sooner it’s better.

Wow no Lever on the list. 

Maybe the whispers about Levers foot were a bit premature.

Getting the Big guns back and Salo will be back by Round 10, glad I am not a selector.!!!

 

Realistically as sad as it is for Salo to be on the sidelines rounds 12-15 is when we need him back for and firing. It’s been a great effort from our backs to play so well so far. With some key troops back over the next three weeks in Lever, Petty and eventually Hibbo (who may struggle to get back in if Smith, Hunt and Tomlinson keep improving) we’re in pretty good shape. Let’s keep the rest healthy and keep winning!

That's the key keep winning gives you options to rest players, ensure little niggles don't become big ones, give the players time to recover from injury with no pressure.  Beat Port this week, 0 and 4 is a long way back for them.

Available is not specific enough for me.

Available..............in 4--6. 

MitchBrown is a listed player yet no mention of concussion or concussion protocols.

No injury listed to JVR causing his withdrawal from the Casey game 🤔

Mitch Brown wasn't hit in the head when collected. It seemed like he was blindsided by a bump, and initially it looked like he was winded. It may be a rib injury of some sort.

Christian Salem is firmly in the 426 category. It is his 2nd week with that outlook for return.

at least Hibberd has gone from 2-3 to 2

Probably because it's a long weekend

They won’t rush Hibbo or Salem don’t need them back until they are 100% fit.!!

 

Injury & Suspension List: Round 5

Mitch Brown - Concussion Protocols | Available 
Joel Smith - H & S Protocols | Available 
Ben Brown - Suspension | 1 week
Michael Hibberd - Calf | 2 weeks
Daniel Turner - Foot | 3-5 weeks
Christian Salem - Knee | 4-6 weeks

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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?
