Injury List: Round 11

Jake Bowey — ankle / Test
Jacob van Rooyen — concussion / Test
Daniel Turner — calf / 2 - 3 weeks
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / 2 - 3 weeks 
Marty Hore  — calf / 3 - 5 weeks 
Jake Lever — knee / 4 - 6 weeks
Jake Melksham  — knee / 4 - 6 weeks
Josh Schache — Achilles/ 4 - 6 weeks

 

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.

Another injury update, another week of Charlie Spargo being listed as 2-3 weeks away from selection.

 


Out this week 

Marty Hore Calf 3-5 weeks

Jake Lever knee 4-6 weeks

Jake Melksham knee 4-6 weeks

Josh Schache foot 4-6 weeks

Joel Smith suspended tbc

Charlie Spargo Achilles 2-3 weeks

Daniel Turner calf 2-3 weeks

Really only LEVER is best 22 

 

note pies are missing Elliott mcstay DEGOEY Mitchell Howe Hoskin-Elliott. 6 best 22 players. Wow.  

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. 

Injury List: Round 12

Tom Fullarton — hamstring / Test
Harrison Petty — ankle / Test
Daniel Turner — calf / Test 
Marty Hore  — calf / 2 - 3 weeks
Josh Schache — Achilles / 2 - 3 weeks 
Jake Lever — knee / 3 - 4 weeks

Thanks Chelly so fingers crossed & touch wood, post Bye we should be close to a full list for the first time in a long time. Poor Spargs having a horrible run with his Achilles, Miss his aggression and happy little face.😢

Spargonicus -> Spargonaut

Good one Hector

PS On reflection Jason's voyage pre-dated the seige of Troy but I like the segway

Apparently Achilles was an argonaut.

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?

    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.
