Featured Replies

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.

    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 👍

    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 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.

    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.

    Yeh.. not very transparent from the club. Probably went under the knife as soon as he was suspended.

    Marty Hore is gone for the season with a shoulder injury, love the fella, very unlucky but Jeeeez that has not gone to plan

    “He hurt his shoulder at the start of the game. He was able to continue playing, but it kept getting sorer, which is why he didn’t finish. Follow-up scans have shown he’s ruptured his biceps tendon in the shoulder, and after consulting with a surgeon, it’s been recommended that we get it repaired.

    “Unfortunately for Marty, we’re unlikely to see him again this season,” Griffith confirmed.

    Unfortunately for Mary, we're unlikely to see him again. (you would think)

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
