2024 Injury List


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Kane Cornes:

Goodwin just needs to shut it down. Put the players who need it into surgery to give them the best chance of recovery and the best chance of a long pre-season. Oliver needs the biggest and longest pre-season he's ever had. He's a shell of himself and clearly not fit enough to be playing at this level. Fix up Max Gawn, it's cruel that they're forcing him to play because they don't have any other options, and I don't know what's going on with Viney. But there are a number of players  who are clearly affected by injury.

They need to shut the season down and get the players fixed and come back for a big pre-season.

It’s the same ribs as before, so it may not have taken much to re-injure them. 
I suggest it’s season over for him. 

May has been playing through adversity the entire season with those broken ribs. Had a chat to him a couple of times and he expressed that his body wasn’t feeling great. 
 

He has been brave this season, but it’s time to let him heal and set his sights on 2025

100%. If they try bring him back this season I will be [censored]!! Time to throw Petty back and see what Fullarton can do as a forward/ruck at AFL level.

Garry Lyon apparently said Oliver, Viney and Lever all need surgery post season. Just send them in now! Seriously, we don’t have anything to gain playing these guys with 3 games remaining. Get them all 100% ready to go for day 1 of preseason

Sad but true. Now that it’s highly unlikely we make finals , I think we’ll give in and prep for 25. 
 

Going to be a hard watch the next couple- expecting a few spankings.

i personally don't think it would be wise to send everyone off who needs surgery etc. off now, as we already look very short of leadership and senior bodies on the field

based on what seems to be his style of leadership, i can't see gawn wanting to NOT play

it's going to be interesting to see what path we go down for these last games

But it also makes little sense to play injured players when the season is done. It allows them the appropriate recovery time and prep for the 2025 preseason.

Gawn and Viney could use a break.

It all depends on the depth we have in each position. There's no point playing May and Lever at half fitness when Tomlinson, Petty and Turner are options. 

Viney at full fitness is irreplaceable, but at half fitness you may as well bring in Brown or (shudder) Laurie. 

Gawn is a stubborn fool so I'm assuming he'll keep playing until his leg falls off.

Get most of the guys shut down and play mostly kids. 

And if we lose the remaining games the AFL charges us with tanking and bringing “the game” into disrepute? !

It’s not tanking, it’s preparing for 2025. Giving the future kids a taste and experience of AFL footy. 
 

Playing AMW, Kolt, Windsor and others this year wasn’t seen as tanking. 3 rounds to go does not put the club in danger of bringing the game into disrepute

I was only joking, but you never know what those weirdos at AFL HQ could do.

I made the same joke to spouse.  Response - wouldn't put anything past those bastards at AFL HQ.

You crossed the line there - Max is no fool

Why play May or Salem in 2-3 weeks?   Get them ready for preseason.

If this is not done the club is not giving us the best chance of success in 25.

Trac running again and at the gym, is a good sign. Should be up to decent loads by the time he hits pre season. 

He’s the ultimate professional, so think it will be more mental for him

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Date of Birth: 4 January 1996 Height: 187cm Games MFC 2024: 13 Career Total: 189 Goals MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 184 Brownlow Medal Votes 16 Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes 1 Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed. Date of Birth: 9 January 1996 Height: 188cm Games MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 167 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 49

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress. Date of Birth: 26 March 2003 Height: 182cm Games MFC 2024: 16 Career Total: 20 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 3 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 1
