The wrist slashing here is absolutely unbelievable. Get a grip.

I think we've had some massive blows in the past 24 hours which have put a complete dampner on our win and have almost made our next 4 games un-winnable.

No ruckman, no Trengove, no Grimes, and still no Scully or McKenzie, and possibly no Rivers. That is a huge chunk of our best 22 out at a very crucial part of the season.

Posterior cruciate ligament.

Spencer out too.

So, are we gone? OR ARE WE GAWN?!!!!

Cheers, needing a laugh after tonight.

Yes, but "shut up shop", "take the year off", "see you all next year"? No doubting this is disappointing and a big dampener on the week, but some of these reactions are way over the top. There's still an absolute s-load of this season to go; it's not even remotely over yet.

The biggest thing I'm disappointed about is that this would've been an absolutely golden opportunity to see what big Jake is made of as first ruck. Not to be.

It's a massive blow to lose them all, and for it to be at the same time is devastating. Our best defensive rebounder, our only ruckman, one of our top 3 midfielders at the same time as Scully and our best tackling midfielder is a massive loss. It makes the next 3 - 4 almost impossible.

We've been very unlucky for many years, so it's in no way shocking to me to find out all these bad news.

But for me it's a great opportunity to see Martin play first ruck. Should be interesting.

Although I have no doubt we'll now lose all of our next 4 games, so whatever. I was very much over this season after the West Coast game, and absolutely nothing has changed now.

[censored], I have Jamar in my SC team and have made two trades this week!

That's why you make them Friday night. :)

I had to trade Grimes though. Should have held on on my second trade.

On topic though, this club seems to be cursed!

lol, i did the same thing, I had to lose Grimes and I thought while I was at it ill make another needed change... Thinking a injury during the week was a low chance.

We do not want Watts in the ruck, he would get snapped to pieces in the centre bounces.

Indeed. I'm surprised Dunn hasn't been, but he's expendable anyway.

How about Bennell?, we can put a little trampoline under the surface..

Dunn did ruck at the centre bounce at one point against Adelaide.

Hasn't been snapped in half [whilst playing in the ruck], I meant.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
