I think it stems from anecdotes from people that have spoken with Lever and him saying he's aiming for Round 1 or thereabouts. Can't blame him for raring to go but the club and the medical staff are understandably taking a more conservative approach. Of course this is only speculation on my part.

Wishful thinking but I doubt it. List is from the club.

The adjusted timeframe came from this article after the Richmond JLT game. https://melbournefc.com.au/news/2019-03-05/injury-update-garlett-to-avoid-surgery

David Misson – Injury Update Jay Kennedy Harris – 12 weeks “It was a significant knee hyperextension issue. Luckily, his ACL was okay, but he’s got pretty significant bone bruising on that knee. He’s probably 12 weeks before he’s back to play.” James Harmes – one week “He had a compound dislocation of that finger, which was operated on Saturday night. He’s looking really good, so we expect him to be running at the end of the week, back doing ball work and full training next week, and able to play in round one.” Braydon Preuss – one week “On the scan, it showed to be a minor adductor strain. He will be in rehab this week, but we’re looking to get him up to train next week and be available for round one.” Aaron vandenBerg – available “vanders has had foot ankle issues for most of his career. His standard recovery post-game is to really keep off his legs, so having Family Day on the Sunday, we thought in his interest it was better if he just stayed off his legs. He’s in no danger of missing round one.” Joel Smith – test “Joel had a pretty significant groin injury in the game – he just landed in a marking contest and pulled up really sore. Because we were two down on the bench, unfortunately we had to keep Joel going. We played him deep forward which probably didn’t help his groin. He’s pulled up pretty sore, so we’ll have to assess him towards the end of the week about what his reloading plan is.” Bayley Fritsch – available "Bayley had a significant hip pointer in the game – he copped a whack right in that hip. Again, because we were two down on the bench, we needed to keep Bayley going, but he pulled up okay. He’ll do a little bit of running tomorrow probably, will still train on Friday and be in no doubt for round one." Nathan Jones, Jack Viney and Jake Melksham – available “They all did really well. Jack got a corky (corked thigh) in his IT band, just above his knee – that’s why he’s walking around with a bit of strapping on. Nathan got a corky in the calf, but all of those guys will train on Friday and be available for round one. We’re pretty pleased with the minutes they got through and how they pulled up."

Melbourne has set a bold target of reaching 70,000 members in 2019. Chief executive Gary Pert laid down the challenge to Dees supporters in a one-on-one interview with foxfooty.com.au, declaring the ambition is achievable if performances remain strong.

You can add Tim Smith to the list too.

Apologies. I got your PM re: unpinning the 2018 thread but never pinned this thread. I have now pinned it.

You can check out the current status of all the contracts here.

edit: Salem re-signs until 2021

His awareness of what is around him is just sublime. Those look away handballs have purpose to them. Unfortunately the receivers don't always have the same sixth sense.
