How serious is his calf injury? Lets just hope it was a corky as I haven't heard anything in the media yet.

    I'm hoping they were just icing it up and that is all.

    Did any one see him pull up from a run?

    On the Melbourne web site Dawes was quoted as saying he just wanted to get through the practice match 'unscathed' and that he achieved that aim. Icing him up as a precaution?

    I've been hearing how big/ripped he is in posts, but, wow, his arms are huge there.

    Huge and articulate.

    He'll be fantastic this year.

    If we can get a full season out of Chris we can win games.

    Look at the size of him. He is a man mountain.

    Neeld was right with this decision.

    I will pay him that one.

    It wasn't Neeld.

    The only good thing that came from the Neeld era was good recruiting (think Toumpas, Viney, Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Kent, Terilch, Clisby etc) and it wasn't him. It was the recruitment team.

    People always bang on about the mistakes (Gillies, jury out on Pedersen and Byrnes) but I think people do forget just how good our recruiting has been for the last couple of years and how good the decisions have been in respect of letting others go.

    I wonder how our demonland media man is going with the media negative reports website.

    He was right to do the study In my book I believe. Very good idea.

    I mean why is it that because Tappy pulls a medial and hes out for a month... that its then portrayed as terrible news & the end of the world....

    Its a month...

    It may surprise you all to read this, but my arms are bigger than Chris Dawes', and I'm also more articulate. My voice is deeper than his as well.

    Of course it was the recruitment team but we know that Neeld was directly involved in the decisions to get Clark and Dawes and since he seems to cop all of the stick for recruiting errors (like Gillies who cost next to nothing) then he deserves at least to get some of the kudos for what he got right like his role in improving team fitness and discipline levels and our recruiting.

    I am so articulate I can run interstate freight, my voice is deeper than deep, but i am only the size of one of Dawes' arms

    My arms are so huge I'm unable to roll up my sleeves.

    In my dreams I kick twice as many goals as Dawes. Put me in your Dream Team.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
