    If Bowey and JVR are fit to go this week , then we only have Jake Lever out of our Best 22 in my view.  
     

    We have had a few injuries but overall our main players have been playing each week.  
     

    No excuses at all for our loss last week or if indeed we lose to the Saints.

    Any chance J Smith can be moved from the injury list?

    He's not injured, will most likely never play AFL again and it just makes out injury list look bigger than it is.

    Turner gone from 2-3 to Test; that's a nice change.

    Spargo gone from 2-3 to TBC: that's possibly a sad change.

    Just admit already that you have no idea what's wrong with Spargo and no idea how to fix it. 

    Melksham seems to have drifted out a fair way from his KB target.

    It's unfortunate for Spargo that his Achilles is his weak spot.

    Might be worth actually listening to Selwyn, if you haven't. Mentioned they'd ramped Spargo's loads up, he was still sore so they intervened (I'm assuming surgery). Hence the blow out of his time frames

    March.  Before round zero.

    “Charlie had some Achillies soreness with a bit of posterior ankle impingement as well and we’ve been able to get on top of that over the last few weeks. He completed a really good re-conditioning session last week and completed main training today, so he’s available for selection this week.”

     

    Then he plays v swans

    listed as injured before dogs match

    now 12 weeks later 

    Charlie’s achilles must be a problem.  
    “he’s had an intervention and will be off legs right now “. 

    what happened? ruptured ??? Strain would be a few weeks so this is a huge setback again to be having an intervention

    Not sure what intervention meant.  I also thought surgery but usually they say so.  It’s a mystery still imv

    I notice that Luker Kentfield is NOT on this list but was rumored to be carrying an injury.  
    Any inside info anyone? Has he trained?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
