Please keep on topic and only discuss injuries in this thread.

Like getting a foot in the Friday night TV market we're going to have to put runs on the board for people to take us seriously and that includes fans. Speaking from experience it's hard to get young ones on board to go to the footy when you've had a decade like we've had. I still buy my little ones a membership because I can afford it but I'm sure that there are many who can't or won't buy a membership for a kid that won't go to the footy. Hopefully some sustained success will rebuild the membership but the results have to happen first.

That was a practice match. I'm not so sure we will leave just Pedo as the only big man in the forward for too long in the real thing.

I'm sure @Whispering_Jack agrees with this.

He got the call up last year when Hoges was suspended against the Cats. Didn't have a lot of the footy but had more than Weids who was in the same team. Got injured 2 weeks later and did not return to the team.

This injury to TMac is a worrying considering the limited preseasons the Weid and T Smith have had. Also puts the kibosh on Hogan having stints in the middle. Pedo would be a lock for Round 1 now.

Jordan Lewis missed last week’s JLT Series game with a calf complaint, though the club is confident he’ll be fit in time for the season-opener. Dom Tyson has returned from a calf strain, while Tom McDonald should be fine having missed last week’s game with a toe problem. Alex Neal-Bullen has quad tightness.

I'll just leave this here:

Let's stick to the topic of Family Day.

I do too. I think Fritsch will be taking the position made vacant by Watts.

Another one locked in.

I'll start a separate thread and see if there is interest.

I'm happy to start a league if there is interest.

Re: ANB injury from Training Thread.

According to the brief training report from DeeSpencer in the Training Thread Jetta, Lewis, Neal-Bullen, Vanders and McKenna didn't train. Harmes was doing kicking and laps away from the main group. Most likely none of them will play in JLT 2. Watch this space for Round 1.

hahaha. They haven't fixed that up from last week.

He is still there at the bottom of the list. Did you mean Tim Smith?

According to the Herald Sun today this is our current injury list. MELBOURNE INJURY LIST Jack Viney (foot) Jordan Lewis (calf) Dom Tyson (calf) Jeff Garlett (rib) Dean Kent (shoulder) Aaron vandenBerg (foot) Joel Smith (left) Jordan Lewis will miss Thursday’s night clash with St Kilda at Casey Fields as he battles a calf issue. The former Hawk suffered a minor strain in his team’s first JLT clash over North Melbourne. “Scans have shown a minor strain and at this stage we won’t take any risks during this period and he won’t play JLT two,” Demons footy boss Josh Mahoney said. “But we’re confident he’ll be available for round one, as he’s done a full pre-season, has got a lot of confidence in his legs and he’s an experienced player.” The Dees are hopeful Jack Viney will be fit to face the Cats in Round 1, while Dom Tyson will be assessed before the club decides whether he’ll play the Saints. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/collingwood-to-miss-host-of-big-names-for-opening-jlt-series-clash/news-story/364f74292badef582535bc48c0fd5e63 Pat McKenna always gets forgotten. Anyone else need to be added to this list? Opposition Watch for JLT #2: ST KILDA INJURY LIST Jack Billings (hamstring) Nathan Freeman (hamstring) Jimmy Webster (hip) Saints fans will hope to see Jack Billings in the club’s second JLT clash on Thursday night. St Kida faces Melbourne at Casey Fields and Alan Richardson’s team will hope to hit back after an ordinary first-up outing against Carlton. Jarryn Geary sat out much of his side’s loss to the Blues on Wednesday night, but there weren’t any other concerns for the Saints. Just three first-choice St Kilda players weren’t available for the Blues clash. Nathan Freeman’s latest hamstring setback will see him put on ice for some time. Paddy McCartin and David Armitage made impressive returns to footy at Ikon Park last week, while top draft picks Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield also impressed coach Alan Richardson. Opposition Watch for Round 1: GEELONG INJURY LIST Gary Ablett (hamstring) Scott Selwood (ankle) Patrick Dangerfield (sore back) Lachie Henderson (knee) Lincoln McCarthy (groin/hip) Tim Kelly (leg) Youngster Tim Kelly firmed for a Round 1 debut after an impressive display against the Suns, although he will be sore this week after copping a knock to the knee. Cats assistant Matthew Knights wasn’t worried about the injury, declaring after the game Kelly could have played out the match. The Cats fielded an inexperienced team that was without Patrick Dangerfield, Joel Selwood, Gary Ablett and Harry Taylor. Of that quartet, only Ablett is doubtful for Geelong’s second JLT match against Essendon this Sunday. Lachie Henderson and Scott Selwood are still recovering from their respective injuries. However, mature-aged rookie Stewart Crameri is a chance to play his former club, and Brandan Parfitt is also in the mix.

We are blessed to have Max at the club. His popularity transcends the MFC and he would be just as popular at a mixed team event with opposition fans. I can't remember having such a widely popular player in the modern era. Jimmy perhaps.

I think it was disappointing that there were no rides there. I promised my 9 year old that there would be rides. Not sure I will be able to get her to go next year without rides. I agree with what someone said earlier that there should be an autograph station where select players are at a table and you only need to line up once. Queues are not kid friendly and if you have to queue up for 10 players each the waiting adds up. I think that having the players at the head of the line for activities is a great idea too.
