Looks like a substantial bit of bone. Not nice to have in ones ankle and may explain his lack of mobility.

Hopefully, we need him and another key forward, firing for the rest of the year.

 
 

Rough for Tom . Hopefully back to build some fitness and form 4-6 weeks out from finals. Could be required depending on injury and or form . He has been unlucky the past 2 years.

 

In other news clarry has an infected blister 

Injury and Suspension List: Round 13

Clayton Oliver - Hamstring | Test
Luke Dunstan - Knee | Test
James Harmes - Suspension | 1 Week
Jake Bowey - Concussion | 1 Week
Harry Petty - Foot | 1 - 2 Weeks
Will Verrall - Pelvis | 1 - 2 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | 3 - 4 Weeks
Tom McDonald - Foot | 6 - 8 Weeks

This Petty injury is dragging on. He’s always a slow healer. 
Hopefully back after the bye. 

 

The language around Petty doesn't sound fantastic. Is listed as 1-2 weeks but Selwyn stated they will have more clarity about what his return will look like after that time.

At the time the club reported it came down to how quickly  the ligament healed.  May be some lingering challenge there.  Always sound3d a bit uncertain

No rush.  Tomo is a handy back up in the short term.

Need to get this one right as Petty's critical to our chances at the pointy end.

Situation seems dire - he missed the club’s golf day today.

Petty back in 1-2 matches the timeline we heard when it happened. I’m not worried. Get him right and he makes us better.

Bad news for TMac, but BBB is on the runway awaiting take off.


Latest injury update. No mention of BBB and he's featured in the training gallery so presume he's good to play at some level this weekend. Good to see Verrall back into main training and possibly playing this week as well.

I would hate to be the coach that tells Clarry he isn’t ready to play Thursday

Oliver doesn't have a leg to stand on if he is told he can't play.  He disobeyed doctor's orders and left hospital impacting his recovery thereby disadvantaging the team. 

It is similar to breaking the rule of not drinking while injured for which players have incurred a suspension.  May comes to mind.

For that breach alone Oliver will be damn lucky if he doesn't get a club suspension or leadership group suspension.  He put himself before the team.

This is the hand Selwood kicked last year. 

So several things are ailing Oliver,

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
