our forward line is farrrkkkeedd.

Miller presents well at CHF and Wonaeamirri and Davey are good small forwards...

However we have noone to kick the goals...

PJ is probably our best option...Ben Holland is 31 and on his last legs, Yze the same.

We don't have anyone even at sandy who can fill the void???

Newton? Maybe try to develop Dunn into a full forward?

I doubt he will play again. Its a 12 month injury, and he will lose a lot of his spring. Plus, he is 30 years old.

Looks like he will just fall short of 400 career goals.

Newton to come in, or could possibly mean another rookie elevation: zomer?

Would love to see Trent Zomer elevated.

I liked what I saw from him in the pre-season. Looks to have a nice set of hands.

surely Zomer needs to earn promotion from the Sandy 2's before he gets a run for Melbourne..?

i guess this means Valenti will be able to keep his spot on the list...

I really hope this isn't the end for Robbo, we've already had our greatest servent of the MFC retire because of injury, and whatever people think of Robbo is irrelivant because he loves the club and has given us plenty of excitement over the years.

Good luck with your recovery Russell.

Saden to see robbo's departure, I don't think he'll be making a return :(

He was one of my fav's

Nobody speak about this like it is career ending, please.

It's bad enough we had to farewell Neita in a car, this better not happen with Robbo too!

This season is just a massive pile of crap :(

Valenti will keep his spot and Grimes can come up onto the main list.

I cant see Zomer being elevated until he earns it. If he is finding his feet in Sandy 2nd he aint ready for AFL and he is unlikely to unseat Saunter at Sandy.

It's the right leg that he's injured so the take-off leg is intact. For some reason right-handed individuals jump off their left.

Edit: It is now reported that it IS the left achilles which is injured. Game. set and match you'd have to think with Robbo's unique physiology.

Yes, I agree 'Yze_Magic'. If it is ruptured it will be very difficult for robbo, (who relies on his 'spring & sprint off the mark to win the footy) to recover & it may well be allover..

I hope not as this would be a sad day for his exit from the game.

Robbo will be back. Yes, it's serious but the man bleeds for this football club and I believe he still has plenty to offer. Best of luck in your recovery Robbo!!

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
