    Only 4 players on the injury list is ridiculous for this time of year.

    Unfortunately it's 2 of our best 5 players with one done for the year, but otherwise we are amazingly healthy.

    Is he done for the year? Why not say "season", they say "indefinite"...

    The quicker we build our fastest on ball contingent this weekend the better'

    It will be fine and fast. I am ambivalent about Max back this week and i think our intensity is the answer.

    FROM NOW ON.

    I’m worried that it’s because there are no guarantees of when he will return next year.

    a real mfcss sufferer would say "because there are no guarantees he's EVER coming back"

    Well I personally think he will come back, but I know people who would tell you it’s a possibility that he won’t.

    Matt Jefferson was a late withdrawal from the Casey team last Sunday. Some said it was due to illness and someone else said it was Covid?

    Shouldn't he be on this list as a "test" or "available"?

    Trac has been awfully absent/quiet on social media lately. ANyone have any insight as to where he is at with recovery? I would have thought he may have showed up to the box on Friday night - perhaps that is unrealistic given what he has gone through (inc his appendicitis)

    He's cooking up a storm on his TikTok.

    I may be wrong, but I believe he is still in partial isolation given the state of his immune system post the spleen laceration. 

    Plus he has had his appendix removed what, two weeks ago? 

    I saw that he liked Melbourne's Instagram post following our win against Essendon.

    From someone with experience with appendicitis (mine had perforated) it's a pretty long recovery, I was in bed/resting for about 6 weeks. 

    When you factor in he is still recovering from internal injuries, I'd say no chance he returns this year, they wouldn't want to risk another hit to the spleen area in 2024 especially given the ongoing narrative about our medical team's handling of Brayshaw and Trac.

    I'd had the same thought that it was be great to have him playing deep forward, but to be frank, that's where he got injured and there are plenty more defenders with pointy knees like Moore.

    Oh I’m with you re playing this year. However he is a leader and should still be in and around the club.  I’ll admit I’m not sure where he stands from a medical perspective, but the lack of his social media presence online in footy matters is a bit worrying. 

    Knowing his character I’d expect him to be trolling (in a good way) everything written about MFC online - inc his mates posts etc. But I don’t see a whole lot of activity, which is why I’m a bit worried. It’s not him to be this absent.

    At least with the recent performances of our growing 'Mouse Pack' it's becoming a little bit easier to face the various realist and MFCSS-ist 'Life after...' scenarios ahead of us - Max, Jack, Steven, Clayton, Christian, Harrison, etc.

     

    Well, maybe not Max...

    Smith and Brayshaw wouldn't stop a 100 point loss to Freo and losing to West Coast. 

    Our injury list this year has been very good. Injuries like Petracca's and Gawn's are unavoidable, they aren't soft tissue that you could blame on conditioning or overtraining.

    Injuries aren't to blame for our performance, nor should we be complaining about our injury list. We've been fortunate, we just haven't had the form, intent or depth of talent to compete for a top 4 spot.

    We’re literally 2 kicks from being in the top 4. We had the Blues on toast at the end of that game and we were mighty unfortunate against the Bears

    In the Lions game, Stevic took that goal off Rivers for running too far after 13 steps. You never see that and the media said nothing.

    May was disallowed two clean marks and one led to a Daniher goal off the ground.

    Against Carlton a goal was taken off Kozzie for a staged dangerous tackle by Kemp, where he was actually holding the ball and we played on and goaled.

    Either of those 3 incorrect decisions not given and we are in the four atm.

    Here is a little test, has any team had more goals overturned than us in the last 2 years.

    I have named 2 above and to help, Petracca against Carlton, Nibbler twice and the rest up to whoever wants to research it.

    You could add Curnows touched goal by May with replay confirming it just as the ball was being bounced. Pretty sure our last 3 games against Blues we've been dudded by goal reviews 

    Anyway probably lost in the injury thread lol

    Stevic and Gianfagna (delisted) have a particular disliking for MelbourneFC.

    I'm guessing you haven't had any/many internal abdominal surgeries. He won't be anywhere near the club until the doctors have given him the all clear.

    The risk of infection is real and they'd have him wrapped in cotton wool. Adding to that he's had two general anaesthetics within a couple of weeks of each other.. not recommended. Again from personal experience. Really knocks you around, fatigue, mental clarity etc.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
