It’s not getting any better. Round 7: Injury List Alex Neal-Bullen (hamstring) – available Braydon Preuss (shoulder) – 1 week Jack Viney (shoulder) – 2 weeks Mitch Hannan (knee) – 3-4 weeks Jake Lever (knee) – 3-4 weeks Steven May (groin) – 3-4 weeks Corey Maynard (hip) – 3-4 weeks Jay Kennedy Harris (knee) – 3-5 weeks Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – TBA Joel Smith (groin) – 6-8 weeks Neville Jetta (knee) – 10-12 weeks Kade Kolodjashnij (concussion) – TBA Guy Walker (shoulder) – indefinite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season

Slightly different from the club site:- Injury List - Round 4 Tom McDonald (ankle) — test Charlie Spargo (jaw) — test Jordan Lewis (hamstring) — 1 week Steven May (groin) — 2-3 weeks Joel Smith (groin) — TBA Aaron vandenBerg (foot) — 4-6 weeks Mitch Hannan (knee) — 6-8 weeks Jake Lever (knee) — 6-8 weeks Jay Kennedy-Harris (knee) — 10-12 weeks Guy Walker (shoulder) — season Aaron Nietschke (knee) — season

A little improvement at the top end but nothing from AVB down - Round 2 Injury List: Harry Petty (foot) – Test Tim Smith (calf) – Test Jeff Garlett (shoulder) – 1 - 2 weeks Jordan Lewis (hamstring) – 2 - 3 weeks Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – 4 - 6 weeks Joel Smith (groin) – TBA Mitch Hannan (knee) – 6-10 weeks Jake Lever (knee) – 6-10 weeks Jay Kennedy Harris (knee) – 10-12 weeks Guy Walker (shoulder) – inde finite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – seas o n

Round 1 Injury List: James Harmes (finger) – Test Braydon Preuss (adductor) – Test Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) – Test Steven May – (suspension) – 1 week Tim Smith (calf) – 2 weeks Jeff Garlett (shoulder) – 2-3 weeks Joel Smith (groin) – TBA * Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – TBA * Mitch Hannan (knee) – 6-10 weeks Jake Lever (knee) – 6-10 weeks Jay Kennedy Harris (knee) – 10-12 weeks Guy Walker (shoulder) – indefinite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season * appears like 4 - 6 weeks

By my calculations that makes it - Bayley Fritsch (hip pointer) – available Nathan Jones (hamstring/back tightness) — available Jake Melksham (hamstring) – available Aaron vandenBerg (foot/ankle) – available Jack Viney (ankle) — available Joel Smith (groin) – test James Harmes (dislocated finger) – 1 week Braydon Preuss (adductor strain) – 1 week Tim Smith (calf) – 2 weeks Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) – 2 - 3 weeks Jeff Garlett (shoulder) – 3 - 5 weeks Mitch Hannan (knee) – 7 - 11 weeks Jake Lever (knee) – 11 - 15 weeks Jay Kennedy Harris (knee hyperextension) – 12 weeks Guy Walker (shoulder) – TBA Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season

So this appears to be our current injury list Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) 3-4 weeks Jeff Garlett (shoulder) 4 - 6 weeks Mitch Hannan (knee) 8 - 12 weeks Jake Lever (knee) 12 - 16 weeks Aaron Nietschke (knee) season

The “outs” and how they appear to be tracking:- 1. Stephen May (hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 2. Nathan Jones (hamstring /ba ck tightness) — should be fit to start the season. 6. Jordan Lewis — rested? 7. Jack Viney (ankle surgery) — should be fit to start the season. 8. Jake Lever (ACL surgery) — hopefully will be back training with the main group in about a month. 12. Toby Bedford — not selected. 16. Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) — available to play Round 1 but more likely in the VFL. 18. Jake Melksham hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 19. Mitch Hannan (knee) — return in the middle of the first half of the season. 27. Aaron Nietschke (ACL surgery) — season 35. Oskar Baker — not selected. 37. Kade Chandler — not selected. 38. Tim Smith — left training early on Thursday. 43. Guy Walker (shoulder surgery) — return date not available. 46. Austin Bradtke — not selected.

On my reckoning, 20 MFC listed players did not take part in yesterday’s game:- 1. Stephen May — hamstring 2. Nathan Jones — hamstring/back tightness 7. Jack Viney — ankle surgery 8. Jake Lever — knee surgery 12. Toby Bedford — not selected 13. Clayton Oliver — double shoulder surgery 16. Kade Kolodjashnij — adductor 18. Jake Melksham — hamstring 19. Mitch Hannan — dual knee surger 20. Corey Maynard — hip surgery 23. James Jordon — not selected 25. Tom McDonald — knee 27. Aaron Nietschke — knee surgery 31. Bayley Fritsch — selected for AFLX 33. Harrison Petty — not selected 35. Oskar Baker — hamstring 37. Kade Chandler — not selected 43. Guy Walker — shoulder surgery 45. Declan Keilty — not selected 46. Austin Bradtke — not selected Hopeful that most of the big guns are out on the track in the next week or two and are ready for Round 1.
