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!!

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
