Classified as a mystery injury because he wasn’t listed on the club’s official injury list issued on Tuesday.
-
It appears that Jack Viney might not be the only mystery injury of the week given that Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin are named as an out and playing in the AFL when they weren’t named as emergencies.

A couple of ex-Demons in the goals. “Returning to his former home club, former Melbourne player Michael Newton kicked 13 goals for Whorouly FNC as they cruised to an 138 point win over the Benalla All Blacks FNC in the Ovens and King FNL. His former Dees teammate and ex-Hawk and Saint James Frawley snagged 8 goals and best on ground honours in Devon Meadows FNC's 42 point win over Somerville FNC, 16.11 107 to 9.11 65 in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean FNL Division 2 match”.

Shifter’s take on Prasad - A small forward or midfielder who plays with real zest, Prasad attacks the ball with ferocity and hunts the opposition with impressive tackling pressure wherever he plays. A team-oriented player, he averaged 16 disposals (10 contested), six tackles and 1.7 goals for Vic Country during the under-16 national championships last year, helping his side win the title and earning All-Australian honours in the process. Prasad also featured in three matches for the Stingrays at under-18 level late last season, providing him with a solid foundation to build on going into his bottom-age year. He was a consistent performer across his first four games of 2025 in the Coates Talent League, during which he averaged 17 disposals and kicked three goals. That included finishing as the Stingrays' best player in a round 4 loss to Gold Coast.

Melbourne is fortunate enough to have its two main draftees from 2024 in the top echelon.

The Herald Sun on line edition has an article on the top 75 prospects for the 2025 draft. Here’s the pen picture on Kalani White who a Melbourne potential father/son pick and is also in the GC Suns NGA:-
Aussie Rules Rookie Me CentralScouting Notes: AFL Academy vs. Coburg VFLThe AFL Academy notched a 13-point win over Coburg VFL in their second and final exhibition match, played at Whitten Oval on Sunday.Prospective father/son Kalani While took part in the AFL Academy team ~ #39 Kalani White | Key Forward/Defender Suns Academy/Queensland (Melbourne F/S) Stats: 7 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles Swapping positions with Curtin at half time, White was arguably more impressive in the defensive half where he was able to win more of the ball and demonstrate his clean ball use by hand and foot. White has a knack for being in the right spot, but currently lacks of little polish to hold all the marks he’s in the area for, almost getting mark of the year early on as the Academy exited defensive 50. To make up for this, White took a one-handed chest mark whilst jumping on his opponents head in the defensive goalsquare in the third quarter.
How come the appointment is announced in the media first and not by the club to the members and supporters?
