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

  • 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.
