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.

Okay so by AFL rules, Mills gets 6 weeks then i assume???

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

Aidan Johnson — suspended / 2 weeks

Jack Viney  — hand / TBC

Charlie Spargo — scapula/ 4 - 5 weeks 

Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

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


Bad luck to Ollie Sestan who was getting close to AFL selection before the hammy and a mystery ankle to AJ whilst serving his suspension.

Injury List: Round 16

Charlie Spargo — Scapula / 1 - 2 weeks

Oliver Sestan — hamstring / TBC

Aidan Johnson — ankle / 4 - 6 weeks

Shane McAdam — Achilles / season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / season

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)

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
