    Looks like he will miss a decent chunk of the season, unlucky for the young fella.

    Very disappointing news about Blake Howes' injury.

    He is only in his first year though. So luckily he has time on his side.

    Hopefully, he can still bulk up muscle in his arms and upper body while allowing his stress fracture in his foot to heal? However, I am sure Selwyn Griffith will sort out a plan for Blake Howes.

    I wish the young fella all the best and a speedy recovery.

    I wonder if the injury to Howes is enough for him to be put him on the long term injury list?

    There’s talk of a few young talented players emerging in the ranks who could be worth looking at in the mid season draft. We would probably have the last pick but it might be worthwhile exploring whether there’s a player out there to fit our needs eg. a genuine young ruck prospect to nurture for the day when Max retires or if Luke Jackson gets homesick.

    The article says … “Melbourne expecting Howes to be sidelined for at least two months as he recovers”.

    Two months would not likely amount to a long term injury so the club would have to wait some time before making an assessment.

    Mmnn, the dreaded navicular injury. That's Howes done for the year. Will need a good six months recovery. 

    Horrible luck for the young fella. Definitely showed a bit in the pre-season and VFL.

    Poor fella. Navicular stress factures can be life-long injuries ala Viney, James Hird and also career ending like Trengrove. Its not the injury you want at any age let alone at the start of your AFL career.

    Lets hope that he is properly rested, allowing the injury to properly heal. I wonder whether research has uncovered any new treatment and prevention measures given the prominence of this type of injury in all forms of sport.

    He played a great game last Anzac round.

    At least we have plenty of defenders in the mix to cover our injuries. 

    Off topic, depending on how Weid fares this year we may be looking for a proven big forward at the end of the year. Tmac was great for half a season last year but is very inconsistent. With Jackson spending more time on the ball we really now only have Bbb as a reliable tall.

    Devastated about the Howes injury, was loving seeing him in training. Really hope they take all the precautions and get him cherry ripe for pre season.

    Given the length of time out does the ETA on Salem allow for effectively putting in some sort of mini pre-season post full recovery?

    Hibberd ... available

    great to hear.

    Casey will be very strong this week against the Box Hill Hawks with T Mac, Tomlinson,Bedford, Dunstan and Hibberd

    2:05pm Sunday.... I believe at Box Hill... a lovely place to watch a game and easy parking within a five minute walk

    I reckon. 
    Maybe we’ll aim for him to play first game post bye. Have a couple of weeks hard training and a game and Casey abs come in firing

    Not sure about that... i've had some absolute ****ful days out there copping and giving it back to some of the numbskull Dawk supporters.  Other times have been good days but bit of a coin flip depending on which numb nutz are about.

    If i go i'll probably bring my earphones for some more intelligent radio commentary :lol:

    The venue itself is a great place to watch a match, the crowd is a different story, but this time you get to be the smug premiership winning wnker supporter, how good.

    Given the health of our list and winning form he’ll be the proverbial cherry ripe come game time. Whatever is needed, he’ll get. Loading on damaged/filled joint surfaces has to be done with progressive care, otherwise the surface starts to degrade irreparably…..Clint Bartram’s early career end being an example.

    • 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.
