Thought this would be a good thread to post updates/injuries/etc from players throughout the preseason


Some average news to start with though with Neal-Bullen dislocating his knee at training

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-12-19/young-dees-knee-relief

MELBOURNE draftee Alex Neal-Bullen has escaped serious knee damage after he was injured in a tackling drill at training on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old, who was selected by the Demons at pick No.40 in last month's NAB AFL Draft, dislocated his patella during the drill and was sent for scans on Friday to determine the extent of the damage.

The scans showed Neal-Bullen had escaped serious injury and the club expects the young midfielder to re-join his teammates at training when they return on January 5.

"Scans today (Friday) showed that there was no serious damage and Alex is due to return to training when all our players return at the beginning of the new year," Demons football manager Josh Mahoney told AFL.com.au.

I hope for him it doesn't become a recurring issue. I played footy with a guy where his knee would slip in and out. He wouldn't miss any extended time because it didn't cause any tendon damage but after the first slip, much like a shoulder joint it is prone to pop out

Nathan Fyfe (shoulder), Michael Johnson (back), Anthony Morabito (knee), Zac Clarke (knee) were some of the notable faces missing, but all are expected to graduate back into full training early in the new year.

Michael Walters was at training, but spent the entire session in the gym.

Matt Suckling (knee) and Liam Shiels (nose) - recovering from post-season surgery, and neither had what were considered major operations. Suckling and Shiels are both back running at the club's Sunshine Coast camp, while a relatively small number of players - headed by Cyril Rioli - have been in modified training.

Rookie Lachlan Langford, the brother of Will and son of ex-skipper Chris Langford, has been rested due to a stress reaction in his back

Scott Lycett ready for no.2 ruck spot and playing up fwd. Averaged 78% TOG will certainly be above 85% in 2015 plus the extra ruck time as he played with nic nat and cox in the team a few times in the season! Could go 85-100pts this year???

114.2 x 3 = 342.6
