Luke Jackson just did a hamstring. Melbourne’s ruck stock is looking fragile now

Phhhtt… they don’t know what fragile ruck stocks are.

Preuss was emergency last week I think so ready to go

For the games when Gawn can’t play, who will be assisting Preuss in the ruck?

Tom McDonald?

Mitch Brown??

$600k a game this year! (Allegedly)
Good work if you can get it.

Have heard a Melbourne player has managed to sever a finger in an accident in the gym.

Will be interesting to see how work cover handles this

Really? I can’t find anything about it anywhere.

Pretty good source, young player, not sure he’s even debuted yet.

Poor kid. That’s horrible

If he’s done it the way most people* do (trying to bash a j hook onto a rack) it’ll just be the tip.

*yes this happens deceptively frequently

From what I’ve heard it sounds more serious but the absence of any mainstream reporting has me wondering whether the account I’ve heard is inaccurate.

I’ve definitely heard of people doing worse (Larry Pacifico severed his middle finger after failing a bench press and the bar crushed it against the spotting arm as an example) and AFL players aren’t the sharpest tools in the gym shed (James Frawley’s pec tear like a decade ago was because he decided to attempt a bench press 1rm without warming up).

Losing a tip against a j hook does happen a bit though.

Sounds like you are right https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/801320

And this news actually is older than I thought

I thought they were ordinary yesterday with so much on the line, they are in no man’s land not too far off us.

They’re sh*thouse.
We are an absolute rabble, yet reduced the margin from 34 to 7 pts with minutes left.

Once the Bulldogs win, it completes another year out of Finals.
Goodwin can’t coach !
