I think everyone saw that one coming. 0 need to risk one of our most important players in round 2, especially given the mounting injury toll to our backline and having lost Salem for a third of the year. 
Rivers is a good replacement for Salem from a like for like opponent matchup perspective so at least that’s something.

    Here is a previously unreleased image of Jake Lever sustaining his plantar fascia injury.

    Hope to see you back out there next week, Rick!

    So one of the ‘bros’ from the Deebrief podcast is saying that he is hearing whispers that Lever’s injury is much worse than reported.

    Take of that blah blah blah.

    I just came on here to post that I'd heard the same thing from someone who has a relatively good connection to the club.

    But also why would you risk Lever or Hibbo in a round 3 game against a side that don’t have much of a forwardline either.

    I thought we were past playing cute little games with our injured players, but Petty, Lever and Hibberd are now all well outside the timeframes initially provided for their returns.

    If Lever's injury is really that bad, just let us know and we'll move on.

    Why do we need to know?

    They are showing Hibbo and Lever one week, Petty 2 - 3 weeks and Salo 5 - 7 weeks and Turner 4 - 5. So could be closer than we thought.!!

    Don't like the sound of Lever's foot. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a 10-12 week injury.

    I’m slightly concerned about the handling of our injuries compared to last yr. 
    Salem came back to early, Riv looked proppy on the weekend and some of the current injuries Hibbo, Petty times keep getting pushed out.

    Is the Salem injury related to his pre-season one? Or is it a completely new and unrelated problem?

    6 players, 5 defenders, 4 premiership players

    Despite this our defence seems to be hanging in there.  Says a lot about depth.

    Sounds like Lever is still at least 2 weeks away as well:

    “Jake is still experiencing a bit of swelling and pain in his foot. We thought he might be playing as early as this week, but that won’t be the case. It looks like he’ll need at least need another week, which is disappointing, but we don’t want to risk anything there.”

    • 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.
