I'm not a sports science or fitness expert.

I just know what the club did with Wonaeamirri earlier in the preseason, after a similar situation.

I expect they don't plan on playing him for the rest of the season

Don't risk any injuries and get a good pre-season into him?

    The Lyon King was amazing last night - that sensational, prickly steel demeanour that he had as a player came through.

    I had a man crush.....

    but then he comes out and says he can't do the job on an ongoing basis because of his role in the media. Helllloooo!!! half the damn commentators and competition in general are conflicted up the their eyeballs. Let's see:

    - McGuire - say no more

    - Mick Malthouse commentates on SEN for god's sake.

    - All the player managers - Pickering, Lynch etc

    - Brayshaw

    - Dunstall does exactly what Garry has been asked to do and it doesn't seem to hurt him.

    I know he CBF doing it full time so just stick with that story I think.

    Still glad he is helping out, just disso that he won't commit.

    I really must be missing something here.

    I know he would not play this year at AFL level.

    However if he is not going to play at Casey why bring him back from the NT till Pre season starts.

    And why did he play last week?

    So I rang the club to be told " he was feeling a bit off after last weekends game".

    What does "feeling a bit off" mean?

    "He just felt a bit off"

    So did 40 other players and 36000 members.

    What the hell gives here?

    I think it's the cringe you have that is part of what he wants get out of the club, that sweeping under the rug of issues and problems. You cannot rectify an issue without having first acknowledged there is an issue in the first place.

    Mate sorry for being thick but I am not sure what you are trying to tell me?

    Can you put it a little simpler

    Never say never - when he gets in there, sniffs the dencorub, gets a rub down, kicks the footy.......

    If it's any consolation I couldn't make much sense out of it either (acknowledging that it came from a poster who is usually pretty articulate).

    Thank god Nasher I thought I had one red too many. But the problem was I had not opened the bottle

    A bit off subject Old Dee, but if you havn't already done so, try a bottle of the 2009 Emblem Shiraz from our sponsor Tyrrell's Wines, Heathcote vinyard. A lovely drop and extremely good value for MFC members and supporters. The label features our Emblem, of course. Guaranteed to ease some of the pain of the last week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
