Tough for them to name an accurate ETA for the type of injury he's got, the fact is come down 4 weeks is positive and almost surprising, I expected to see him hit with the dreaded TBC

Stress reactions are pretty common, clubs have a good guide on how long they take. The big issue is he’s done the easy part of the rehab - sitting around doing non or low weight bearing stuff. The next month as he builds back up to full loads is the time where things could be really straightforward or face set backs.

    Sounds pretty tough to get an ETA on

    Cal Twomey says Culley’s out for 4-6 with bone stress in his foot (can’t embed the Tweet).

    Is this new or has the club already announced this and I missed it?

    Haven’t seen anything from the club.
    It was mentioned he was in a moonboot in a training thread from last week. Was suggested the moonboot was a precaution.

    Given that Spargo played in Saturday’s match simulation, and assuming he pulled up ok (does anyone know?), why would he still be listed as TBC on that injury list?  Surely if he’s now in full training, they must have some idea of a time frame.

    I don't trust the AFL list for accuracy personally... waiting for the Selwyn update

    While there is ‘only’ 3 players on the list who would be considered top 23 players - Pickett, McVee and Tholstrup - we have roughly a quarter of our list (10) who are unavailable for Rnd 1. That’s not ideal.

    Poor Jai. Turns out it wasn’t a minor foot thing after all 🙁

    It’s new. Last week he said he thought it was a minor issue. He also said they’d only just put him in the moonboot that morning but it was only precautionary. He’d be gutted 🙁

    I'd have Spargo in my 23 if he's fit...

    I would suggest orthotic insoles for Jai Culley in his football boots.

    I wore them in my football boots as another level of protection against having any bone stress in my feet.

    However, I am sure Selwyn Griffith and the Demons medical team know alot more than I do.

    I would have thought this would have been standard for every afl player

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
