    Can’t remember a player ever missing with a blister - infected or not.

    Blisters are painful, imagine having an infected one then running on it the way they do!

    Give him the rest so he is cherry ripe for 2nd half of the year...

    We have a bye next week

    By blister is it a sun blister or one from a splinter. I'm hoping Maxy hasn't had Clarry in the shop making furniture to keep him busy while he rehabs his hamstring. What a disaster if true.

    Anyone heard of blister skins / tape. They are extremely effective once the infection has cleared, which hopefully is 1-2 days. He’ll be fine to train on Friday.

    anyone know what the issue with Hibbo was?  marked as injured but maybe more of a old man managed for a week?

    we need him back this week

    Hibbo has Achille soreness & will be “managed” all season…

    If it's purely the blister that's infected he'll probably be right to train later in the week and likely to play, if things are improving over the next couple of days.

    If there's cellulitis they'd be wise to get that fully under control which would put him in more doubt.

    I had an infected blister on my foot decades ago from bushwalking. It wasn't pleasant but fortunately occurred with only one morning to walk out. I certainly couldn't wear a shoe or sock and there wasn't much weight bearing. It felt like it had gone into the bone. I suspect Clarry has received the Rolls Royce of medical treatment though and wasn't wandering around in the middle of nowhere in Tassie.

    Put methylated spirits on it , will dry out very quickly and he will be right to go. I used this method on a white tail spider bite back in march and cleared it up in a couple of days.

    Hibbo was doing the full running program with everyone else. Though, a little bit behind some of the others. He and Lever were gasping, so was Tracc (who may have been "bunging" it on). A couple of the young ones dropped out, as well as Fritta (I think), close to the end.

    @kev martin thanks for your report!

    Do you think this implies we were pushing the fitness work a bit harder than a usual mid week session?

    Yes, though I haven’t seen any main session this season, but last time I saw a main session the focus was more on sims and execution of structures and processes. Could be because of the long break and they can push them, without game day fatigue. They were working them very hard.

    A few looked like they needed it, given some gasping, slouching and drop outs. Also appeared not like it too much, they went quiet and resigned to getting through it. Thought it was useful bonding being all in it together, and the congratulations and support they showed to each other after completion. The trainer (Selwyn) didn't inform them of how many sprints they were doing, showing lots of trust of him by them. Ended up going at about 3 sets, each 6×150 meters under 20 sec, with a 10 sec break between runs. The players had groupings that ran to various distanced coloured cones. There was also another set of sprints in between drills and some laps as a warm before drills.

    Sounds like Binman is on the money!

    MacDonald - Ankle surgery and now '6 to 8'. Maybe a farewell via a 2023 VFL premiership?

    Hibberd - Managing for 'back end of the season'

    Oliver - Expected full training tomorrow

    That's old school right there, swear by it also.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
