    Still sore after ruptured plantar fascia. Hoping to be right by next week.

    Minor procedure and has escaped significant damage. Great news.

    Sounds similar to what T-Mac had in 2019. He went off after kicking six goals against the Blues. It ended his season but there were only about six games left of a train wreck of a year.

    Give him plenty of time to recover

    He is one of the impossible to replace guys

    Good news that it's not an ACL or another sort of long-term injury.

    Still, albeit with no medical background at all, I'd imagine this is a 6-week injury at a minimum.

    T Mac tore his meniscus that day.

    Funny (not funny) that he finally played a ripping game that year and then his season was over.

    As for Salem, 6 weeks or under is a good result here. Rather he out at the start of the year than the business end.

    yes agreed. chipped cartilage not strained?? 

    what’s the likely scenario? 

    a./  career ending possible amputation.  

    b./ season ending 

    c./ 12 weeks plus. Back in for finals

    d./ 4-6 ( which safely covers all of the above) 

    e./ @Webber

    I fully expect the club to claim that the injury is in no way connected to his knee injury from the practice match the previous week. Whether that's true or not.

    Unless he went into the game with chipped cartilege, sounds like a new injury?

    Will definitely be a big loss but as they say: one soldier goes down and another one comes in.

    I understand that there is a large gulf in experience, power and size between them but we should feel very pleased we have Jake Bowey in the backline. He really assists with clean disposal and clear-headed decision making from the backline...not saying that he fully covers the hole left by Salem going out but his quick development to date really helps

    Yup, I remember it well. Carlton charged back and hit the front, only a game saving booming goal from Hunty near the end got us over the line. Isn't cartilage and meniscus the same thing? I've got meniscal tears in each of my knees but the last surgeon I saw didn't want to trim them lest it leave bone rubbing against bone which would be worse.

    Keyhole type surgery, expect him to be mobile day 1, weight bearing day 2.  Prob a week to get back to full running and another 2 to get back fitness. Guess 3-4 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.
