    I wouldn’t worry Picket, the report said it was done at training on Friday afternoon.

    Heard from a friend of a friend that, Traccs cracked ribs are on the minor side of things. They said, he said, "if it was in season he would be playing next week".

    Apparently it takes 6 weeks for a cracked rib to fully recover, so if you go by that timeline he’ll miss the first practice match (V maybe North around 20 Feb??). This is on the assumption they go fully conservative on him.

    Makes you wonder how and why May missed just one game with his fractured rib.

    The first key to success for 2025 is to have a strong and healthy pre season. Already we have our best 2 players missing the entire January…

    You can still train with a cracked rib….don’t panic…..yet!

    No contact for 2-3 weeks to be on the cautious safe side.

    He will be fine one would think.

    My memory tells me Jimmy played on through cracked ribs, as a ruckman!

     

    I don't expect the same from Trac but this is not a disaster.

    Not good particularly when he was already behind the 8 ball fitness wise, was hard to see him been 100% this year before this, even more so now

    I understand from 'sources close to the Club', Trac's been so far behind the 8-ball lately, he might start as a tagger in games—just to see if he can catch up.

    Just hope he is mentally strong enough now to be able to move forward and put his body on the line when needed... feel for the guy. I don't know if I could do it.. but il back him in. Just hope this is the very last time we hear the words petracca and cracked ribs again.

    Nope not the Case, from what Ive seen from training sessions is that he was and is in great nick. My concern from what my source is, that the same rib as previous has been damaged! This is shizzen news if coŕrect!!🤯

    Rib injuries are actually quite common in the arts of grappling.

    Many have played with broken ribs before, so it can be done.

    If he is not peak fitness in the first half of the season, play him forward. He’ll give many a defender nightmares as a permanent forward.

    I would not be averse to him playing in that role anyway, notwithstanding the current rib issue. A great weapon to have there in the post ANB period and it would give our younger mids starting with Trent Rivers the opportunity to blossom in a new look midfield.

    Having broken ribs myself, the recovery is mainly about pain tolerance. You can do pretty much everything you would normally, but some things are just a lot more painful. Even things you wouldn't expect, like pull ups. It's an upper body exercise, but having your arms in the air pulls on your ribcage. Hurts.

    So you can train and play but it'll be uncomfortable. Trac I expect it will be in the yellow bib at training for a bit so it heals fully.

    Sneezing was the worst for me..

    • 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.
