Jeez, they could have waited till tomorrow (Friday the 13th) to make the announcement!!!

Thank god we are not playing tomorrow the MCG would probably have an earthquake at 7pm destroying only the MFC dressing rooms

 

Another stress fracture?

Did Neeld work them too hard over the pre-season?

Breaking News: Davey out for season

A mate mentioned it last week, his limp & we discussed if it had been troubling him for a while?

Now confirmed stress fracture.

I wonder if it's been causing him grief?

Geez, lucky we are not playing for a top 4 place :wacko:

Lucky he's not exactly had it on a string this year either...

Seems players being pushed in the pre season is biting us a bit but it's a fine line you play with trying to obtain elite fitness tough luck flash.

We have to be the most unlucky team in the comp....this is a joke. 2012 the year from hell

It's not that unlucky with our fitness regime being ramped up the same has happened to the bombers. In the end it is all for the greater good I suppose.


And this is the perfect season for it to happen. From here, the number of wins is cosmetic. If they need to be rested, operated on or retrained then now is the perfect time. Finishing bottom three won't be 'tanking' but the result of what happened this year.

Get well soon, Flash, and refind your magic.

Our VFL partner is being belted again. Probably no MFC players left by finals time.

begs the question doesnt it........

lets see who thinking what Im thinking !! :unsure:

give the man a cigar !! ;(

Not of much consequence at this point.

There'll never be a season like this again, surely.

 

I guess it doesn't really matter at this stage of this nightmare season, but WTH is going on?

Some have suggested that it may be "overtraining" but most of the injuries have been out of the blue.

I guess it will all give opportunities four others but what a revolting run of injuries we have had.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
