Kent likely to play Development league this week :)

Salem 1 more week and likely to play the weekend after :)

Kent a chance to play Development League

Melbourne injury list: round 15

Sam Frost (toe) – 4-6 weeks

Dean Kent (hamstring) – test

Cameron Pedersen (wrist) – season

Christian Petracca (knee) – season

Christian Salem (hamstring) – 1 week

Jack Trengove (foot) – season

Not the biggest injury list we've ever had.

Injury excuses need not be made this week.

Don't know why, but the idea of Kent playing in the dev league seems comical to me. It think it's just the air of confidence he carries himself with.

The boy likes a run and a goal, so if he can blow the cobwebs out early, it could be an entertaining half a match. I'd settle for a "got through it alive" kind of half a match, though.

Can't be bothered to trawling through the posts, but I do wonder how many of those who are berating the club for caution on Frost's foot are also the ones who castigated the club for supposedly rushing Trengove back enabling an aggravation of his injury, though undiagnosed (and quite possibly undiagnosable) at the time

Just saying..........

* and that photographer guy too

classic example of

club did <insert thing>

we lose lots of games/finish down the bottom

<insert thing> was the problem! Fix that and the pain goes away!

Note: <insert thing> can be as small or large as one draft pick or sacking/hiring a coach

point is that hundreds of things contribute our onfield (mis)fortune and pointing at one of them in the wake of failure is just plain folly

Yikes! That match really took its toll on Frosty!

Do you think Collingwood will notice if we kidnap his brother and swap him with Sam?

I know this might be a shock to you old dee, but it is possible to be slightly positive or optimistic without drinking.

Yeah it's like he'll play his designated half, kick 4 goals have 25 touches and be disappointed he didn't have a greater impact.

How can a broken toe keep a player out for the season??

...because it hasn't healed??!!

Yeah. Missen should go out and find the magic supplement that heals broken toes.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
