Thankfully PCL and no surgery but with bad achilles now as well I'd say we've seen the best of CMC. Will be a big ask to hit those heights again and really the coach needs to take some responsibility for overusing him.

Incidentally Jordan Mason the no.2 is out of the season as well. 

I think he can get back to his best, but they should bring his snaps down some to help preserve him. Especially vs the Rams... 0 snaps every time :P

    He very well could Gorg but at 28 y.o it can be tough for a RB especially once those big injuries kick in. I'm sure he'll still provide great value, but his season last year was truly something else. 

    I'm actually not always a fan of having a sole RB and especially not in the offense we play. I really prefer a 70-30 ratio with someone like Mason predominately doing the 'meat grinding' runs. 

    Ever since CMC came here Kyle gives him 20-25 hand-offs a game. He's someone who likes to take his Ferrari off road driving..

    Agree on the sharing, We looked much better with Blake Corum getting a good amount of carries as well as Williams.

    Lions more beaten up, another 2 D-line missing and the LT, all ruled out.

    Packers could be a show this week?

    Yeah, I was close to tipping them, if I knew the outs I prob would have chosen them.

    Bengals, Bills, Seahawks

    If the Packers are going to feature prominently in the playoffs, we'll need to win this match against a banged up Detroit defence

    In saying that, Detroit still have plenty of weapons on their offense (averaging 32 points per game)

    Might be a shoot-out as the Green Bay offense has been quite reasonable this season

    RBs tend to flame out very quickly, especially following injuries, unless they are Derrick Henry. Most have about 4 years of domination and then fall of a cliff.

    Exactly right Gonzo, they can come and go like comets.

    The greatest RB of all time Jim Brown played 8 seasons. Barry Sanders 9, Terrell Davis 6 etc. I know there's longer term examples but it is a churn and burn lifestyle.

    Exactly 

    The Lions are playing like their defence is at full strength!!  

    The Packers 9 & 3 record is flattering as we've had a soft schedule

    Packers getting their run game going this drive. 1st and goal so great chance to get on the board.

    They (Detroit) are just a really good team

    Packers get the ball first in the 2nd half and have to score a TD ... field goals won't win this match as Deroit will almost certainly put up 30+

    goff throws the terrible pick to give packers great field position. Packers get the Td and just like that they are ahead.

    i'm feeling good about my smokey (if you can consider a 9-3 team a smokey)

    Campbell is too aggressive with his 4th down play calling. Lions fail to convert and hand the ball back in great field position.

    There's a reason no one else is that aggressive. it doesn't pay off overall. Cost the Lions the championship game last year.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
