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

  • 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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
