Blake Howes?

There was mention somewhere I seem to recall reading yesterday that said he was returning to the vfl - he was listed as 1 week a week or so ago.

Was listed as Available last week and is not on the official injury list this week so I would say he is good to go given the extra week.

Does anyone know the nature of Lever’s shoulder injury?  AC subluxation should be manageable, but a full AC  dislocation may not be. Presumably not a shoulder dislocation. 
 

And anything specific re BBB? All it says is “knee” which covers a full range from plays, 1week, all through to bye bye BBB. 

Joel Smithseems to have accelerated towards being able to take the field, hopefully not to sustain yet another injury. Could be handy as a defender or a forward, or even medical  sub.

Oliver

No protection on his right hand!

He got two coaches votes vs bulldogs playing one-handed!

Watch out Freo!!

Goodwin flagged in the postgame presser that BBB has a permanent knee issue.

One wonders if he'll see his entire contract through?

Agree. Brown had knee issues at Norfff. We took the gamble and it paid off. A premiership to remember.
Love what the BBB delivered in the GF but I think BBB will go through to end 2023 most likely. We need the succession planning to happen for JVR to come through for 2024.

With Daw retired, Mitch Brown likely to, Jacko probably gone, JVR not quite ready, TMac sketchy and Goody not being a fan of Weid, it definitely gives a lot more context to why we've been chasing so many key forwards. Could be a big issue next year.

I wouldn’t mind a Fogarty type player to help fill the void someone with a it of mongrel to hand out a bit of hurt. JVR might have to come into the mix earlier to take the second or third tall. We put a lot of our eggs into LJ it’s really going to hurt our list if he walks out, we really need to keep playing Weid for the rest of the year. Preferably at CHF.

Yes Sydee he would be very handy in F50 right now if he were fully fit, even Howes if fit.

Anyone else find it strange that there's no official injury list available despite the fact that the team trained yesterday?

Main training session was today Chelly, might get released soon.

Good to see Joel Smith available . 

He was good for us early this year. Still not sure his best position but is very versatile. At a minimum he is a better sub option than Bedford,thommo and others who have been sub this year

Could be very handy up forward/back. Hope he gets a gig soon.

Petty forward, JVR back?

Health wise we have Rosman and TMac our only long term injuries with BB requiring long term management for his knee. Hopefully Joel Smith and Daniel Turner stay fit and healthy over the next 4 weeks excellent depth.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
