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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
