Apart from our two long termers and poor old Marty Hore who is stuck on 3 - 4 weeks, we could have a full list this week*

Injury List: Round 11

Jack Viney  — concussion / Test

Marty Hore — calf / 3 - 4 weeks

Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

* barring one or two mystery injuries of the week and possibly a couple who will have to sit out as carry overs for Sunday.

 

Looking good:

Marty Hore Calf 3-4 weeks

Shane McAdam Achilles Season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield Knee Season

Jack Viney Concussion Test

Viney will play this week, get the next 2 wins and KB will be massive, we will still be underdogs which seems to be when we play our best.

 

We should all give credit our medical and performance teams which I know might be tough for some. As Viney comes off the list this week, we have the smallest injury list in the AFL.

Idk if there’s any truth to this but I’m hearing Spargs has done his scapula and is looking at 8 weeks 😢

He did grimace a little whiles before his whack by Mills. That HIT wouldn't have helped at all.

Get well Spargypants 👍

Injury List: Round 12

Jack Viney  — concussion / Test 

Marty Hore — calf / 1 - 2 weeks

Charlie Spargo — scapula / 4 - 6 weeks

Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

My Essendon supporting mate (don’t judge we’ve been friends for 25 years!) is ripping his hair out at their injury list. They have not one tall left.

Scapula yes, but club saying 4-6. Injured in the incident before the Mills hit.

Viney likely but not confirmed.

All good. I posted the quoted comment at 8am, at which time we knew he’d injured his scapula, we just didn’t know to what degree and it turns out it’s a fracture that isn’t as bad as suspected.

The damage was already done before the Mills incident. Charles himself has said this. But I’m sure the Mills collision didn’t help at all.

With four mid-season draft picks, I'd be shocked if they didn't pick up Tomlinson, he can play straight away.

Fractured scapula sounds a really unusual injury - if it is to the body of the scapula (the flat bit) I think management would be symptomatic.

If it involved the shoulder joint it would be more problematic, and if to the pointy bit at the top, the acromion, I suspect it would be described as such.

In terms of our modest injury list, huge props to Peter, the club’s head physio. Selwyn along with Jacob (the club doctor) attribute this to him.

Pete’s a very professional, no-nonsense type of guy. He’s quiet and unassuming and remains in the background mostly, but he’s clearly doing a fantastic job because luck isn’t the only factor in being able to field our best players.

Onya Pete!


Injury and Suspension List: Round 13

Marty Hore — calf / available

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

Injury Report | Viney in the Frame

Jack Viney is a chance to take on the Power.

Sestan’s absence this weekend explained - a minor hammy.

Viney “a chance”. Doesn’t sound promising tbh.

Injury and Suspension List:  Round 14

Aidan Johnson — suspended / 1 week

Jack Viney  — hand / Test

Oliver Sestan  — hamstring / Test

Charlie Spargo — scapula/ 3 - 4 weeks

Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

In this clip Mitch Cleary says Viney still has to clear concussion protocols before we can pick him:

I don’t know if that’s because his progress got delayed by the hand injury but it’s concerning that he still hasn’t cleared protocols. It’s been 6 weeks.

Injury and Suspension List: Bye Round 15

Aidan Johnson — suspended / available
Oliver Sestan  — hamstring / Test
Charlie Spargo — scapula / 2 - 3 weeks
Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season
Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    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?
