Jake Melksham  Knee 6 - 8 weeks  

Can't wait for Bowser's return. Hopefully he's back for Carlton.

I am actually very impressed with Milkshake's  recovery. I thought he would only be available for Finals.

 

Bravo WCW you called Bowsa for the Blues game and Selwyn just confirmed it.

He needs an op but won’t have it!

What sort of operation? He doesn't have a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Yes..VFL


Looks like Salem will  be available post the Eagles game.

Fingers crossed for no more injuries and that would mean best 22 available

Salo is not far off, either!

Once we get Bowza and Salo back - provided everyone else stays good, we're looking great.

Bonuses are McAdam and Melksham later in the year, as options for certain games.

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? 

That’s the problem As I understand that he did not go with Burgess advice and took matters into his own hands. This resulted in him only playing about 8/10 games as he “managed” his own fitness or had other advisors. 

I believe his base would be very low and that’s why he had the need of a third of the season to help establish his “Melbourne “ base. 

If we were to name our GF team 5 months early I would be leaving out Shane as the most likely to miss because of injury. Seems a nice bloke ( according to WCW ) but who would you back in Kolt or Shane for HFF in the Granny?

Something is not quite right in the state of Denmark ( Shane Mac) although I desperately want him to get a good string of matches and perform for the team as he has ability to be a huge X factor I believe. 

Injury List: Round 9

  

Jake Bowey — shoulder / Available
Josh Schache — Achilles/ Test
Christian Salem — hamstring / 1 - 2 weeks 
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / 2 - 3 weeks
Jake Melksham  — knee / 5 - 7 weeks

~480 games by my count

Bowey back would be a bonus for this week. Missed 7 weeks with that shoulder injury. Assume he’s been running over the last few weeks to maintain fitness.

Should Brayshaw and/or Smith be included?

Brayshaw definitely...Smith perhaps.

Re Charlie Spargo, it seems to me that he was injured late in the pre season, and came to opening round with no match fitness. He was clearly underdone and probably carried an injury into OR. Did we make the situation worse by playing him? Certainly he contributed nothing to the team that evening.

He was put on the injury list after that game, and was listed as 3 weeks in early April. A month later and he is still listed as 3 weeks.

If all goes well from here maybe he gets one Casey game in before the bye, then it is probably July before he can push for senior selection.

If I was a player in that situation, particularly given the depth in my position, I would be absolutely furious as to how the injury has been managed.

That was one of the weirdest selections, probably since Schache sub!

Felt like the coaching team panicked on that one.


Injury List: Round 10

Christian Salem — hamstring / Test 
Josh Schache — Achilles/ TBC 
Jacob van Rooyen — concussion / 1 week
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / 2 - 3 weeks
Daniel Turner — Calf / 2 - 3 weeks
Marty Hore — Calf / 4 - 6 weeks 
Jake Melksham  — knee / 5 - 7 weeks

Charlie S  played so well in the 2023 finals, I think they wanted him back asp.

 

Those injuries are piling up again.

Sure, Salem aside they are on the 18-26 level of players but the tank is running thin when you add in Brayshaw and Smith as well

Realistically only JVR and Salem are best 22 locks, and both will be available within a week or two. 
The sky is definitely not falling yet.

  • 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

    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.
