“Simon Goodwin insists premiership stars Steven May and Kysaiah Pickett will be fit to take on Fremantle, despite the pair dealing with injuries.” Sore pair under injury clouds, Goodwin insists winless Dees are 'united' Well, that settles it. At least two outs for Saturday’s game.

Trying again based on afl.com.au Marty Hore (hand) — TBC Luker Kentfield (illness) — TBC Shane McAdam (Achilles) — Season Judd McVee (hamstring) — 4-6 weeks Jake Melksham (hamstring) — TBC Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee) — Season Kysaiah Pickett (suspension) — Round 4 Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — TBC Koltyn Tholstrup (back) — 6-8 weeks Jacob van Rooyen (back spasms) — Nothing to see here

Maybe … it should be TBC?

I’m hazarding some guesses but here goes - Update as at 4 March 2025

 Tom Fullarton (hamstring) — pre-season/early 2025 Marty Hore (broken hand) — TBC Luke Kentfield (pneumonia) — TBC Shane McAdam (achilles) — 2026 Judd McVee (hamstring) — TBC Jade Melksham (hamstring) — pre-season/early 2025 Andy Moniz-Wakefield (ACL) — 2026 Kysaiah Pickett (suspension) — round four Charlie Spargo (achilles) — pre-season/early 2025 Jacob van Rooyen (back spasms) — round four

Update as at 23 February 2025 Tom Fullarton (hamstring) - pre-season return Marty Hore (broken hand) - TBC Luke Kentfield (pneumonia) - TBC Shane McAdam (achilles) - 2026 Judd McVee (hamstring) - TBC Jake Melksham (hamstring) - pre-season/early 2025 Andy Moniz-Wakefield (ACL) - 2026 Kysaiah Pickett (suspension) - round four Christian Petracca (ribs) - Fremantle practice match Charlie Spargo (achilles) - pre-season return Caleb Windsor (foot) - Fremantle practice match Jack Viney (ribs) - Fremantle practice match

By way of contrast and thanks again to Nine News, look at the list of our Round 1 opponent GWS Giants:- Harvey Thomas (suspension) - round three Josh Fahey (suspension) - round five Joe Fonti (suspension) - round three Tom Green (calf) - four to six weeks Toby McMullin (suspension) round three Jake Riccardi (suspension) - round three Sam Taylor (concussion) - TBC

A slightly different format this time with expected return dates for each player (courtesy of Nine News):- Kade Chandler (shoulder) - pre-season return Tom Fullarton (hamstring) - pre-season return Luke Kentfield (pneumonia) - TBC Shane McAdam (achilles) - 2026 Judd McVee (hamstring) - TBC Jake Melksham (hamstring) - pre-season/early 2025 Kysaiah Pickett (suspension) - round four Christian Petracca (ribs) - pre-season return Charlie Spargo (achilles) - pre-season return Caleb Windsor (foot) - pre-season return Jack Viney (ribs) - pre-season return

A bit of guesswork here but from out of the carnage, the injury list with a month to go looks a bit like this:- Jake Bowey (ill) —TBC Kade Chandler (AC joint) — expected to start integrating into contact soon. Tom Fullarton (hamstring) — continues to work through his recovery. Luker Kentfield (pneumonia) — hospitalised in Perth over Christmas break and slowly recovering there. Expected back at the club soon. Judd McVee (foot) (hamstring) — TBC Jake Melksham (hamstring) — will miss the next block of pre-season training. Christian Petracca (ribs) — expected to restart full training at the club soon. Christian Salem (ill) — TBC Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — making slow progress in his recovery. Koltyn Tholstrup (bone stress) — expected to be sidelined for the next 8 to 10 weeks. Jack Viney (rib cartilage) — TBC Caleb Windsor (skin infection on his foot) —1 week

But Caleb Windsor ...

The injury list with six weeks to go:- Kade Chandler (AC joint) — will start to integrate into contact over the coming fortnight. Tom Fullarton (hamstring) — continues to work through his recovery. Max Gawn (larynx) — returned to full training. Luker Kentfield (pneumonia) — was hospitalised in Perth over the Christmas break and is slowly recovering there. Expected back at the club in the coming weeks. Jake Lever (knee) — returned to full training. Judd McVee (foot) — will start to integrate into contact over the coming fortnight. Jake Melksham (hamstring) — will miss the next block of pre-season training. Christian Petracca (ribs) — nearing full fitness in his recovery. Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — making slow progress in his recovery. Koltyn Tholstrup (bone stress) — prognosis after scans is that he is expected to be sidelined for the next 10 to 12 weeks.

I can state with certainty that it’s gospel that Max Gawn, Jake Lever and Jake Melksham and their respective families have been sighted in Bali.

Agree 100% … and that trip to the Red Bull training camp that he was criticized by the press for attending must have been highly worthwhile physically for him on top of being a great break after the injury he suffered on KB.

... and twins to come further down the track.
