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.

    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.

    From training photos:

    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.

    We must try Joel Smith in F50 - hopefully he can get on the park and stay there

    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?

    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.

    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.

    We don’t have to really worry about pressure acts in t who ever we recruit . Because, we’ll you know anyone would be an improvement in that area

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
