I will also put this up on the Fritta thread.

There was no club injury update yesterday. According to AFL Tonight on Fox Footy the players from the Swans game in Sydney have had a couple of days off before returning to training.

On that list Melk 32, Hibberd 34 before next season,  BBB 31 soon, Luke 29 by next season.

Tom now back playing, 31 end of year.

Harmes, JJ and maybe even Spargo probably looking around and of course Grundy.

Big change to our list is close.

Anyone got any intel about Ben Brown? He’s been TBC for weeks, yet is still rehabbing at the club on the bike.

His knee is cactus. Bone on bone. 
My best guess is he’ll retire with a year left on his contract and transition into a coaching role with our AFLW team which he already does part time. 

Let’s hope that our injury list remains manageable over the next month, feel so bad for BBB, Milkshake and Petty.😢😪

Agree. I think BBB is done. His knee is not enabling him to move and he’s better to retire now imv.  He achieved the premiership dream and we thank him for his GF 👏👏.  

Any word on Pettys recovery? I know it’s season, but it was reported as significant lisfranc from memory. I hope he is not impacted longer term.

I read a post on here a few weeks back and someone had spoken to him at the Casey game, said he had just got surgery done recently

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
