The Scorps never gave in and a 29 point loss in the circumstances is a damn good result. They have two weeks to regroup and will have to beat Williamstown (home) and Box Hill (away) to claim a top four spot.

    This season, rookies don't need to be elevated for a long term injury after round 11, so we're free to play him if we wish...

    No, each club is able to elevate one single rookie to the senior list without having to place a listed player on the Long Term Injury list.

    In the end it was a fine effort from the Scorpions who had a lot of inexperienced players including two first gamers. Give them PJ, Robbo and Danny Hughes who all were late omissions and they would have been a rough chance.

    Didn't see the game today, any reasons given for the late withdrawals?

    A couple not coming up for MFC tomorrow!?

    I HOPE HUGHES GETS A GAME!

    Did Casey have ANY MFC players today other than Zomer? Wheatley come up from ressies? List is starting to look really thin for fit players...

    Unless one of PJ and Robbo were injured today it sounds like one late withdrawal tomorrow and one of them in and the other emergency.

    I don't think Hughes is qualified to play unless he is capable of being uplifted to the senior list. McKenzie was uplifted a couple of weeks ago.

    I think maybe Martin might come out, he's had a few niggles here and there recently.

    On Hughes, there's been a lot of conjecture about his eligibility to play. We have Valenti, Spencer and McKenzie elevated for LTI's in Garland, Meesen, and Blease earlier this year. Aussie, Green and a number of others could also be placed on the LTI list at any time you'd think?

    And with the AFL's new rule allowing teams to nominate one rookie to the senior list for the 2nd half of the year, even without an LTI, you'd think Hughes would be eligible for a game?

    I've been under the impression, that since round 11, Hughes would be available for selection if need be, with the club having more than enough player injuries that could be regarded as 'long term' and placed on that list.

    We're at the the bottom of the barrell now, so to speak, with almost NO fit players left. Hughes should be available.

    Unless of course it in a financial issue, with the club unable to raise his salary?

    Nonetheless, i believe Hughes deserves a game given his good form over the year, the fact that he's been on the rookie list for 3 of 4 seasons, he needs an opportunity to show his stuff at top level, we've got no players left, and because we're in a list management situation.

    He deserves at least one game for the red & blue! (Being an MFC supporter as a kid, if he doesn't make it, he'll at least have a story for the grankids in future ;))...

    Made the trek out there. That Feery is the dirtiest player I have seen in a very long time. Off the ball rubbish all the time.

    Danny Hughes copped a corkie last week and was probably given the week's break to get it right.

    There's a fair chance however, that one or both of PJ or Robbo will line up against the Roos today.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
