Hate to see a list like that shortly before the season starts. Suggests we are behind the eight ball before the commencement of proceedings after a five month layoff.

TBC is such a crumby term. How about some indication for supporters when these boys will or are likely to be available for selection.

I agree mate

TBC basically means the FC is in no rush to announce as they are out for a decent period of time. 

 

Should be concerned with how McAdam has travelled this pre season?

With the reports coming out from Adelaide in regard to his reluctance to take accountability of his rehab.

Just looking at it seems like we are more or less where we were at the end of last season with key outs and that was not a good space to be in.

Based on info gleaned from Demonland (track watchers, linked articles etc) my best guess is something like (taking koz and smith out as they are not injuries - by the by, koz is in ripper nick and right to go round 1. So technically doesn't miss a round. For petts i'm assuming no surgery, but if he has surgery unlikely to add mot than a couple of weeks)

BROWN Ben.png Ben Brown Knee 2-3 weeks

MCADAM Shane.png Shane McAdam Calf 2-3 weeks

I’ve been told Ben Brown could be available by Round 2 (3rd game). 

I was told two different things about Petty. That he will be back in the next few weeks and that his toe/foot is [censored]. Both credible sources. 

Take these nuggets with a grain of salt. 

Haha You are not spreading unsubstantiated rumours are you Andy?

Is this a Club list or a made up one  by a DLer, adding info that looks like it’s complete guess work as it isn’t in line with info provided from press reports or posts from the Club.

Thanks this looks like a sensible guess of time out for our injured players. Thank you Binman.

Was taking the P 

For a bit of perspective, we're far from the only top 8 club with some injuries.

At the pies, Pendulbury and Howes have both had interrupted preseasons and are touch and go round one. Their best forward, mcstay is out for the season with an acl and Krueger did a bad hammy yesterday.

At the swans, Luke Parker has broken his arm and their captain, Callum Mills has a wrecked shoulder he did wrestling on mad Monday (where's the media beat up on that? - i mean getting [censored] and wrecking your shoulder is just boys being boys is it? And hes tbeir captain! Cultural issue i reckon). Both players are huge for them.

They swans are resting Jake Lloyd, Tom Papley, and Chad Warner for their community cup game to ensure they are right to go against us, which suggests all three are not cherry ripe.

he was made skipper AFTER this happened


My mail is Hunter is struggling. So that’s optimistic.

I would presume the opposite, Papley and Warner underdone no way. No underestimating any Swans players under any circumstances. 

For those suggesting that we should have traded Petty for McAdams and pick 14, had Petty been fit for finals last year we most likely would have beaten Collingwood and been a good chance for the GF and combined with JVR sort out our key position forwards.  By comparison the value of pick 14 and a future second round pick would net us a young key position player requiring at least 3 years development at VFL to help us in September. Alternatively to bring in a KPF from another club would require approx $1m per annum on a long term deal whereas retaining Petty would probably save us in the order of $200 - 300k per annum. 

As for Petty being injury prone, I don't see the evidence for this. He has been fairly durable to date with only minor soft tissue injuries until his recent foot problems and most key position players have periods where they miss games through injury. Having a medium term injury does not make a player injury prone.

Jake Melksham ACL Round 16

I’d be very surprised if (at his age) they aren’t aiming for a 9 month post-surgery return to play. That would make him available end of May/early June, if it’s been smooth rehab, which by all reports it has. Round 11-ish.

Ta.

He might find it hard to get back into the team if Windsor makes the wing his own and billings cements a spot.

That's music to my ears.

He looks very fit, so you imagine he'll hit the ground running.

They improve our disposal and forward connection.

Saw Taj Woewodin entering IKON Park today with Daniel Turner. Woey appeared to have a bit of a limp. 

He played and went very well according to the report.

Might be earlier than round 11.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
