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?

He trained today. No injury.

WCW said that he was at training on Tuesday and that he appeared to be moving ok.😁

All good DZ 😊 I don’t know where the idea that he might be carrying an injury came from. He trained really well and said himself that he’s feeling great and is keen to “get into it.”

As Binman might say…

Got 99 problems but Luker ain’t one 

Trac four broken ribs, lacerated spleen and punctured lung. Good god. Shocked they allowed him back out there in the second quarter.

It basically took him the entire quarter break to get off the field.

Was stopping every few steps and looked like he was in pure agony.

Was shocked when he came back out.

Disgraceful mismanagement 

Should have gone straight to hospital. Poor thing I cannot believe he was allowed back on the field.

OMFG are you serious, poor Trac, wishing him a speedy recovery.

Going to be very interesting to see whose call it was. Surely Trac would have had input in the decision.

Felt like a classic Goodwin all or nothing call to put him back on.

Wonder how his family are feeling about it too.

We seem to be determined to play injured plays after getting away with it in the Granny.

Such a different context.

Yep disgraceful really.

You'd have the think ultimately it was trac's call - which in itself is alarming. Any professional doctor would have been able to identify there was some serious damage here and should have been solely responsible for deciding how to proceed.

This football club really disgusts me. It was clear as day he had an internal injury and I said it at the time, as did many of us. We need new leadership on all lines.

Trac should have had NO say in it. He looked like he was shot he was in that much pain. Who cares that his adrenaline said "I wanna play I'll be fine"?

How many players get knocked out and want to return to play? Most. 

The decision should be totally out of their hands. This is why we have team doctors.

Imagine if he copped another hit!

Theoretically anyway. Team sycophants, more like. I really thought we were better than the Port and Dogs doctors who sent clearly concussed players back on. Turns out we aren't.

Where did you get this information from?

Jesus...poor buggar. Is that season ending for Trac? Given how this frikn season is shaping up Im imagining it is. I honestly feel like we've been cursed since late last year.

Yeah I think it’ll be close. I’m guessing 6-8 week minimum. 
 

I reckon we just tank from here and get a top 5 pick. I mean even with if we somehow make finals, we are not doing any damage this year. Reset the game plan and blood the youth. Everyone would understand.

The man himself just posted a photo on his socials in a hospital bed.

I'm so disappointed in our medical management this year. If it wasn't sending May back in against Adelaide after a week off with cracked ribs and clearly in pain, Lever's tweaked knee in Rd 2 and whether he should have played through it or not, Oliver being sent out with half a hand against Brisbane. Sending Trac back out there yesterday was the last straw.

It's just lambs to the slaughter and I have no idea what the rationale is behind it.

Failures of process across the board I’d suggest.

Thank goodness he didn’t get another hit.

Agreed. I’m not saying he should have had input, I’m thinking that he must’ve pushed to return otherwise no right thinking medico should’ve ok’d it.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

    The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

    “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

    The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

    It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
