Looking at the interview with Michael Hibberd on the MFC site, noticed Kosi in the training footage, knee heavily strapped and walking with a limp! Not wishing to alarm, but would appreciate an update from anyone who has been at training.

Has had it most of the year and even last season. Assuming the strapping gives him some relief. Maybe even holds it all together. 😀

 
 

Bad luck for James Jordon.

Injury List: Second Qualifying Final

Judd McVee - Ankle | Available
Christian Salem - Groin | 1 Week
Taj Woewodin - Concussion | Test
Andy Moniz-Wakefield - Groin | 1-2 weeks
James Jordon - Foot | 3-4 Weeks


Thats hard luck for Jordan, has had a great season and added depth to the midfield.

Terrible news for JJ. Missed out last year and played every game this year only to end up as the sub and now with a 4 week injury. Absolutely sucks.

So is Salem available or still a week away?  The above two lists have conflicting info.

Available I believe

Didn’t miss out, got a medal. 

Another foot injury 😕 so sad for the kid, seems like absolute tattslotto the outlook/prognosis for these injuries when it happens to a Demon.


His injury has gone very much under the radar, haven’t heard much about it.

Is it season ending?

touch and go, but probably

His foot got stood on playing for Casey the night after he was our Medical-sub. Initially thought to be ok but remained sore and recent scans showed a break. It will be very difficult to get it right in 4 weeks. Horrible timing and the worst luck.

Thanks for that, really feel for JJ, thought there was a couple of players ahead of him that could’ve been dropped, he’d had a pretty consistent season.

Very tough outcome for JJ and he played a ripping game for Casey as well. He is very stiff and robs us of some of our flexibility, thank goodness Hunt and Melk have both stood up at the pointy end of the season. 


As crazy as it sounds I don't mind players on the fringe of our best 22 getting injured at this time of year. It is obviously devestating for them.

We don't need to drop them or exclude them and they will come back the following year more desperate 

I would hate to be the bloke Jayden Hunt is playing on this week. Hunt has his chance and he won't let it slip.

Must have been someone big who stepped on his foot. Sorry Jj

Deserves his moment in the sun.. gf...next year then.

He definitely does, it really sucks but unfortunately the brutal reality of the business. Hopefully he can stay upbeat.

Your logic is just ok but in reality is heartbreaking and annoying for all concerned. 
It also is more cruel when In our position players at least have the VFL To continue playing for a Flag. 
While Melky and Hunty are playing their hearts out there are always others that are unlucky with or without injuries which we don't need as casual as your  matter of fact type scenario. 
No player deserves injuries for any reason to miss out on once in lifetime events.

I get what you are saying and what I wrote wasn't an exact science.

I just hope the players picked play their role.

I don't wish injury on anyone, even Collingwood.

 

On first thoughts, this is a massive blow as he was so important to our structure playing the non Langdon wing and was often used as an option to pass to coming out of half back.

Having said that, he can’t be that critical in the eyes of the coaches given he was dropped for round 23.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
