A bit of guesswork here but from out of the carnage, the injury list with a month to go looks a bit like this:-

Jake Bowey (ill) —TBC
Kade Chandler (AC joint) — expected to start integrating into contact soon.
Tom Fullarton (hamstring) — continues to work through his recovery.
Luker Kentfield (pneumonia) — hospitalised in Perth over Christmas break and slowly recovering there. Expected back at the club soon.
Judd McVee (foot) (hamstring) — TBC
Jake Melksham (hamstring) — will miss the next block of pre-season training.
Christian Petracca (ribs) — expected to restart full training at the club soon.
Christian Salem (ill) — TBC
Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — making slow progress in his recovery.
Koltyn Tholstrup (bone stress) —  expected to be sidelined for the next 8 to 10 weeks.
Jack Viney (rib cartilage) — TBC
Caleb Windsor (skin infection on his foot) —1 week

 

 

@chelly  thanks 

And it’s February!!! With no games actually played.

Hmmmm

i think, at this stage, it's something more like only fullarton, kentfield, mcvee, and tholstrup with injuries / illnesses likely to rule them out of the first part of the pre-season / season

We've had quite a few players this year and last year with infections... maybe worth keeping some betadine in the change room and reminding the boys about the value of a soapy shower!

Does a session in seawater help avoid this sort of infection.

Used to be a regular report of players shivering in the water as it helped muscle recovery or something

(Help its obvious  Im out of my pay grade  here).

Would a  training base closer to the sea facilitate this.

I was advised that Spas are the ideal site for spreading infections.

(Hoping for someone with idea of reality)

Anyone else like me and waiting patiently for the McVee injury update?!

Yes for sure. I’ve broken it into 3 categories given the hammy didn’t look like a micky mouse one.

GOOD NEWS - 4 week and will miss just round 1.

MEH/ MODERATE NEWS - 8-10 weeks and will be back about round 6

BAD NEWS - tore the string off the born. Surgery and won’t be seen until after the bye.

Anyone else like me wonder why other clubs get the results of player scans and make them public a lot quicker than MFC (or is this just a case of MFCSS)?

Scans were yesterday afternoon. I suspect the radiologist would have only had a chance to look at it today. They will then have to speak to the Specialist doctor around prognosis and recovery time. I doubt we will hear anything until tomorrow.

i'm now suspecting that if it was (relatively) good news we would have heard by now 🤒

Fullarton played in yesterday's match sim, so just Kentfield, McVee and Tholstrup out for Round 1 (with Kosi of course) and still a big question mark over Charlie Spargo - still no match sim for him yesterday, although encouragingly he took part in other drills, pre match-sim.

What clubs are you referring to ?

Case Study was Max's knee in 2022 against Brisbane. I think it was almost a full week before we found out the recovery time AND that was good news considering what the potential was.

It was round 2 2023 on a Friday night and the good news that it wasn't serious came through on Sunday afternoon. I only remember because the news came through during the last qtr of the Casey game and everyone in the crowd was talking about it.

8-12 weeks is my guess

Big Loss

 

Yeah same vibes


 

6-8 weeks is smack back in the middle of the of the good to bad news spectrum. He’ll probably back in the side around the round 6 game against Freo.

AMW seems the logical replacement while Howes and Hore might be asked to play on smaller defenders if either of those guys has a good practice match series.

Please no more injuries given Kozzie’s also out for a while.

Juddy hasn't missed since he debuted and has had a pretty good track record with injuries so this really sucks.

Really hope this means that AMW gets another go in the senior side. I thought he showed a lot of promise late last year.

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
