Injury List: Round 17

Max Gawn - Ankle | Test
Luke Jackson - Knee | Test
Blake Howes - Foot | 1-2 Weeks
Andy Moniz-Wakefield - Groin |  1-2 Weeks
Daniel Turner - Face | 1-2 Weeks
Joel Smith - Ankle | 2-4 Weeks
Tom McDonald - Foot | 8-10 Weeks

It is weird that TMc is still 8-10. 

Goodwin said last week he didn't know why it was listed as 8-10 when he said 6-7. 

Maybe he is now 5-6 weeks.

 

I think TMc coming back this season is wishfull thinking

From AFL site…

Melbourne has also given important forward Tom McDonald renewed hope of returning this season, reducing the timeframe on his return to "eight to 10 weeks" as he recovers from a foot problem.’

With a bye at the end of the home and away games, that would give TMac some slight hope of playing but he would have to incorporate some sort of mid-season with the next 8 to 10 weeks.

He’s probably an outside chance at best.

Absolutely no chance he is barely walking

Cannot afford underprepared players in a final (unless they are Steven May)

The fact that he’s “barely walking” today doesn’t mean you can write him off for 2022 if the doctor believes he’s an 8 - 10 week proposition today. If that remains the case in 2 - 4 week’s time then perhaps the prognosis might change.

Strange about AMW. He was omitted from the Casey side last week because he was being managed. Turns out he has a groin injury.

Maybe his groin injury was being managed. 


Speculating but...!.Clarry has a Broken thumb and will miss 4-5 with it!

I hope not but....given his level of discomfort, I would not be surprised!!

I can never tell with hand injuries, sometimes they're 2 x weeks and sometimes 5. 

Even some players who have had surgery have only missed 1 week.

Ridiculous to be trying to guess at this now.

Just bruised, according to Goody.  I hope he's right.

Yeah could have just been a massive stinger that may swell up a bit but hopefully no bone damage. 

Does a GOAT have a thumb? Not sure of the logistics of the hoof .

At least a decent break until our next game.

  • 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.
