Wow Turner has made a very quick recovery. I thought he had a leg injury not a hip injury? Either way, it's good news if he's only one week away as he covers the loss of Hore.

I am sure he will have to spend some time with Casey, but it's good news anyway.

Also is McAdams just permanently stuck on 2-4 weeks? Are they generating a new hamstring for him in a lab or what?

    It will be tempting to replace Hore with May but ribs are not to be trifled with… Tomlinson?

    McAdam has come in from 3-5 to 2-4. Baby steps. 

    Spargo’s stuck at 2-4 though.

    Last week he was 3-5 weeks so there's some movement.

    He'll need a couple of weeks at Casey so he's still a way off

    I was expecting Hore to be out due to ribs but has thumb fracture I didn’t spot that.???

    "Shane McAdam continues to work through a hamstring injury, taking positive steps forward re-joining the main group.

    “Shane is beginning to integrate into training with the team,” Griffith said.

    “He’ll continue to train with the group as we build him into being available for selection in the coming weeks.”"

    Is it worth trialling Tommo as a fwd at Casey.

    The defenders Tmac and Petty have done alright forward.

    I'm just thinking if a tall defender like Tmac needs games off then Petty goes back.

    If Bbbs is injured we are back with Schache. 

    It would be nice to know if he can at least do it and not unrealistic about Tmac and Bbb. ( I so hope they will be ok).

    I  think the Port game was the best game in two years for the two of them.

    LITB 

    You have hit the answer right there if you leave Petty at FF.

    Why move him for Tmac or Tommo or Schache. He will kick goals very soon as he is too good a player not too.

    Only move him back for any cameos or if either May or lever are missed greatly.

    Also Disco is available next round for Casey return. 

    If it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it.

    Sorry 58 er you really confuse me.

    I try to be patient.

    I want Petty at Ff.

    I'm not talking about changing anything 

    I'm suggesting we trial Tommo for multiple replacement roles in case something happens to Tmac or Bbb which is quite likely. I suggest this because I'm not sure Schache is up for much.

    The depth player such as Laurie, Tomlinson etc should definitely be exposed to other positions at VFL level.

    The reality of the modern squad is that you can't cover every position and develop players.

    Can Tomlinson play forward. Probably not but worth looking at. He did play wing IIRC at GWS in a rather good side.

    Laurie on the other hand is a perfect candidate for multiple roles. Could he have filled the Bowey role for example?

    I’m convinced Shane McAdams is growing a new hamstring in a lab 


    What sort of shocking condition did he come in from Adelaide where he was managed by Burgess?

    Bowey is now nearly 5 weeks from when he did his shoulder. An 8 week injury they said....

    Yet he's still 5-6 weeks away?

    Great news that Disco is back. Reckon he’s got a big future. 

    Poor bugger has never had an injury free run.

    Prior to the season he would have been next in line - now the resurrection of TMc and the reemergence of Hore has him way back in the queue 

    Good luck Disco.

    I suspect Spargo has achilles tendinopathy. It’s a pain in the neck of an injury. I’ve battled through it for a decade, being a competitive runner. Generally it’s an ‘over 30s’ injury so he is very young to experience it. It can be season ending and career threatening.

    Injury Report | Defender Set for Return

    Check out Melbourne's latest injury report ahead of Round 5.

    Looking forward to Daniel Turner’s return.

    There isn't a spot for Turner, but he'll be good depth.

    5 players on the list. No top ten players there so we’re lucky really. 

    hopefully our luck continues

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.
