Really only McVee as a major loss from that list. Some good players in 20-28 but could be a lot worse

Good to see Hore is a test

If Milkshake gets up and about this year given all his injuries past and present, it will be a phenomenal effort.

And I will add, a much needed one.

At his best he is an absolute gun but he has always seemed to struggle to keep his form constant and play a string of many great games.

I still believe his injury against the Swans cost us a flag.

Yea, he's one player but he was in career best form when he went down in an already what was then  a much depleted fwd line.

Jake Lever - underwent a knee arthroscope and shoulder surgery in the off-season, is tracking well and is entering into his final month of rehab. He will be in a modified environment after the Christmas break and is expected to be in full training by the end of January.

Seems to be really struggling with his body.

A bloke that has always gone exceptionally hard at the comp and seems to unfortunately be paying the price.

I had to see a wrist surgeon about an operation recently and I asked about rehab. When she said, 'Four to six weeks' a chill went through me.

*Bizarre injury strikes again
Premiership defender Steven May was a late out for the Dees, with club officials confirming the two-time All Australian had fractured his larynx in an incident at training on Friday. Freakishly, May becomes the second Demon to suffer the injury in a matter of months, with captain Max Gawn suffering the same injury late last year. Gawn took six weeks to recover, however Melbourne believes May's injury is not as serious. May was replaced in the starting line-up by swingman Tom McDonald.

So we had 10 players out, 9 of whom have played senior footy for us.

May Out this week and return TBC. 

Windsor in a Moonboot and his foot infection will be monitored. TBC. 

 

what the hell is Windsor doing with his feet....

Can someone setup an account with FeetFinder.com to work this out?

Is that the spider bite rearing its head again? 

Didn't Windsor miss a few weeks of preseason with a foot infection?

Would welcome a medico giving some insight into why this would take so long to heal then come back again some weeks later. 

Hopefully it isn't like Oliver's infected foot in 2023 that just went on and on and landed him in hospital.

Sheesh!  Don't antibiotics work any more 🤷‍♀️

We need some luck on the injury front!!🙏

First of all I’m not an expert but Spider fangs have all sorts of nasties venom or not. They can result in necrosis and in severe cases amputation of the affected limb. 
 

Hopefully it doesn’t resort to that but some bite related infections  can hang around for a long time.

Thanks.  I hadn't seen it reported as a spider bite ... not that it would mean much to me.

Necrosis and amputation is dead set scary - hope he looks after himself.

I'm not a religious person by any means, but I think I might go to a church and pray for his sole.   It's worth a try.


Geeez we always seem to have a number of top 22 players missing 

Whenever I look at other teams injury lists they have a list of players that I’ve hardly heard of 

Surely we are due for some luck on the injury front soon 

 

Marty Hore back on the injury list is disappointing. Poor guy can't seem to catch a break.

Jake Lever — ankle / test
Steven May — larynx / test
Jake Melksham  — hamstring / test
Marty Hore — calf / TBC

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
