Thats really sad news. So much to like about ricky, good over head, great on the ground, has a little bit of mongrel about him and you can tell he loves to be involved in the play, sounds silly i know, but he looks like he wants to be in every contest, and that is infectious.

Someone else can now shoulder (pun intended) the fwd line responsability.

Shattered, another season of development wasted. Looked really promising. I like players who love a contest and ricky is one of those.

Shattering news, he's setting himself up nicely to become one of the most dangerous forwards in the comp in the coming years.

All the best in your recovery Ricky and please say with Melbourne at seasons end.

I'm getting a dejavu feeling, Scott Thompson 2004 with his foot injury when he was having his breakout year, got injured and never played for Melbourne again.

He stated a couple of weeks ago that he was going to wait until the end of the year to sign a contract.

Will be interesting to see what he does over the next 4 months in regards to this.

I suspect the longer he goes on without signing the likelihood of him heading north is increased.

well a dodgy shoulder might do more for us to keep him than more for Ricky being offered a GC contract.

Or we end up fitting the bill for him to get right only to pizz off after he is right

On one hand, he's done enough to keep his place on the list, and his return will be anticipated greatly.

On the other hand, if he IS on the way to GC, the compensatory pick we would have gotten after 22 rounds of him would have been a lot better than whatever they'd give us now.

If it's the second scenario, we lose. BIG time.

Memo to Number 15 for Melbourne FC: 'Ricky... don't lose that number'. Stay at the Dees next year.

Gday Dedders, thanks for the kind message upon my log in. I am indeed a complete $%^^&&*. Spent way too much time orchestrating your lifetime ban on Ology.

Good result in the end of course. Stay well!!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
