Well having Milkshake & Marty Hore available will definitely make Casey that much stronger and hopefully Will Verrall, Jake Bowey and Harrison Petty will be OK, not sure about Christian Salem or Benny Brown.

    The good news and the bad news. The injury list is narrowing and hopefully, a number will pass their tests. The bad news is that a couple of them aren’t likely to pass their tests.

    Injury List: Round 17

    Marty Hore — calf / available
    Jake Melksham  — knee / available
    Jake Bowey — general soreness / test
    Ben Brown — knee / test
    Harrison Petty — hamstring / test
    Will Verrall — concussion / test
    Christian Salem — knee / test
    Charlie Spargo — Achilles / TBC
    Christian Petracca — spleen / indefinite

    Maybe Harrison is hamstrung by his ankle?

    And WTF is general soreness Bowey?  Presumably hiding something. 🙄

    Bowey was a late withdrawal with a corky in his back. I'd say his soreness has something to do with that

    Can anyone confirm if Charlie Spargo is actually alive?

    Why is Trac “indefinite” and not “season”?

     

    The injury isn’t a season ending injury and he would be a potential in the unlikely event that we made the prelim or GF..

    I would cut out my own spleen if Trac played again this year. It won’t happen even if we make the Grand Final.

    I imagine they are not sure of when he will be back playing based on the injury

    Two of our best players are out, with the next 3 weeks being a massive challenge.

    They probably allow for the possibility that he'll do something stupid like trying to play with broken ribs and a dodgy spleen, much like Max wants to play before his leg heals properly.

    It’s being reported that Charlie Spargo requires an Achilles operation and is out for the season.

    Hoping for a successful surgery and rehab and looking forward to seeing him out there in the preseason.

    I wonder why it’s taken this long (ie 3/4 of a season) for surgery to be actioned? And it won’t be a quick recovery I’ll bet. Poor guy.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
