In the old days a backman would be just chucked forward in the 3rd quarter. These says it's 'the system'.

 

Injury List: Round 20

Jake Lever - Shoulder | Available 
Joel Smith - Ankle | Available 
Ben Brown - Knee | 1 Week
Deakyn Smith - Jaw | 1 Week
Fraser Rosman - Hamstring | 4-6 Weeks
Tom McDonald - Foot | 6-7 Weeks

 

Everyone knows that I’m skeptical about our club’s weekly published injury list which always seems to throw up a mystery injury of the week at selection time or on game day (this week it was James Harmes with his delayed concussion). Often, predicted return times are also way off the mark so I put forward this item for what it’s worth ~

If you watch today’s injury report I bet you’ll feel like going clubbing. Could hardly hear Griffith in amongst some ‘doof doof’ music.

Whoever encoded the video must have been listening to this on what they thought was a channel not going into the rendered video. They uploaded it and obviously didn’t check it which I can understand. 

if the video above no longer works then they figured it out and deleted it. 

Here's the latest injury list but it doesn't really allow for potential mystery injuries. Jake Lever's ankle? Luke Jackson looked a little proppy at the end?

Injury List: Round 21

James Harmes - Concussion | Test
Ben Brown - Knee | Test
Fraser Rosman - Hamstring | 3-4 Weeks
Tom McDonald - Foot | 4-6 Weeks

Your assessment of the potential for mystery injuries sounds pretty much spot on. However, I think this week’s reporting has the wrong Smith. Joel was covered last week as available. This week’s list should IMO include Deakyn Smith who was said to have recovered from his recent injuries.

I think this is exactly what happened. It sounded too clear to just be on the air. It happens though, maybe they were using an interface and selected the wrong source haha

Are you asking because he was limping for about 30 seconds in the last quarter?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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?
