2025 MFC Injury List

This is from an update in today’s Herald Sun on every club’s injury list -

MELBOURNE

A new-look Melbourne will come together at Casey in the coming weeks, and all of the shiny new toys should be ready to go on day one. Andy Moniz-Wakefield was shaping as a strong contributor in a new-look half-back role before his ACL tear, but should be ready for a full, but managed, pre-season. Jake Lever had a wretched run with ankle issues in 2025 but the club is confident he will be right for a strong pre-season. Shane McAdam is progressing from a February achilles tendon injury, with the forward closing in on nine months of rehab work. He’ll likely be limited throughout the summer as he pushes for a return in early 2026.

    I'm posting here just to bump the thread because I'm interested in any updates people have about Lever, AMW, and our general health, but... Surely at this point we can confirm that Essendon is just straight up cursed?

    Top Bombers draftee laid low by back concern

    Sullivan Robey faces a delayed start to his first pre-season at Essendon

    As they should be, but it's pretty rough on the kids forced to go there.

    Only there 5 minutes and he's already off sick with a 'bad back' wanting compo

    AMW has told us that he can only return to full training in the new year. His knee was pretty much mangled in that tackle at Arden Street last February, so whilst he has clearly done a power of work he may still be a watch re availability for Round 1 - more "boxes to tick" as they say.

    Jack Henderson seems still to be struggling with his groin at training and has not joined any of the main sessions. There has been nothing natural about his running form - also definitely a watch.

    Jack Viney also seems a bit sore at the moment - maybe an achilles? Photos from Bright show him working with Henderson.

    Not aware of anyone coming off surgery. Lever seems unhampered.

    Mihocek has to recover from his toe injury, but seems to be progressing well and CJ seems to be in and out of training drills - not sure what is going on there....

    No update on Matthews coming off his PCL from last year - will get a look at him when they are back at Gosch's.

    Jack Henderson has been struggling with a groin injury listed as far back as July this year. For the trackwatchers is there some risk he will end up on the Long Term Injury list and create an opening for a player we have as a train on over summer?

    Why did we resign Henderson when he is deep depth only and struggled to get on the field for most of last year? I would have given Brown or Woewodin another year in preference.

    Poster on Facebook questioning whether Brody Mihocek has broken down at the training camp. Anyone know if there's any truth in the query?

    I think he is in rehab for an injury he sustained at pies, hopefully he didn’t hurt himself on the hike up Mt Buller?

    Not nice to see, but glad it’s not one of ours.

    If they didn’t sack their performance coach, surely they’re close.

    Is Caleb Windsor 100%? He had foot issues last year and I’m really excited to see what he can do with a full pre season and a license to break lines from half back.

    Caleb is looking sensational in match sim drills - his running is at full throttle.

    Is Windsor training with the back line or mids this pre season he was awesome at the back end of the year in the midfield

    We might get a better idea of exactly what role he will have as they crank up the match sims. Geelong provides a good blueprint though with the way they use their paciest player, Holmes....let's see.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
