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

    Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — TBC

    Judd McVee (hamstring) — 4-6 weeks

    Replaced on list- unavailable for the season 
    Shane McAdam (Achilles)
    Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee)

    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.

    UNAVAILABLE FOR ROUND 1 

    SUSPENSION  Kozzzzy Pickett (available Round 4)

    INJURED
    Marty Hore (hand) — TBC 
    Jake Melksham (hamstring) — TBC
    Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — TBC

    *Steven May - larynx - TBC 2-6 weeks 

    Judd McVee (hamstring) — 4-6 weeks
    Koltyn Tholstrup (back) — 6-8 weeks

    Luker Kentfield (illness) — TBC

    Replaced on list- unavailable for the season 
    Shane McAdam (Achilles)
    Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee)

    *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.

    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?

    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.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
