FMW - forgotten man of the week

It’s been easier for De Goey this year being at a club with more stability in terms of winning and not having to fill gaping holes in their forward line. Trac will come good in time. 

Yep - no surprise at all.

The news is a little better on the injury front but given the time of year, it’s a case of too little, too late:-

One step forward, two steps backwards

Heard that Jake Lever has a sore foot and will miss this week.

The mystery injury to Tom Sparrow has been officially recognised but not before he missed two games with that knee injury mentioned above. 

Despite this, our injury list is diminishing and the club might even manage to have double figure numbers at Casey on Sunday.

 I think it’s fair to say there will be a few changes from the team which narrowly lost to Adelaide in Darwin.

Jake Lever  (knee) – 6-10 weeks
Jay Kennedy Harris (knee) – 10-12 weeks

* 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.
