Strange. He was named on Thursday. Saty reported that he trained lightly today.

Maybe this knee injury is what has been holding him back?

the Ox said he's been carrying this for weeks and hence why he'll be rested

I can't fathom how Bail gets a game.

if I thought the same about Bail alone I'd be very happy. Unfortunately when I look through the list there's a few more than Bail

Barrett is a complete f-wit.

Jack Watts has played 100+ more AFL games than you Damien and would most likely be a far better journalist you pole smoking cretin.

wouldnt pizz on Barrett if he was on fire.

Fu#kwit of the highest order.

Geez

Tyson and Salem out now

Our injury list is brutal

It's a good thing our captain is as durable as he is.

The way Tyson has been playing don't think it will be a big loss tbh.

Probably be better for him to miss and try and get right.

Our depth is worse. Yes we can say those injured are "best 22" but Tyson, Viney, Salem, JKH, Kent , Frost , Petracca, they're all kids. Then Jetta then Dawes who is currently in a hole.

I hope you were knocking on wood when you wrote that comment!

The thought did cross my mind but I've never been the superstitious type.

I reckon we'll be up and about on Sunday.

Reckon we've been prepping for this game for a couple of weeks

Hogan (rested) and Watts (enjoying his footy again).

Easy week on the track.

Visit from the Reverend.

All intended to get us over and freshened up after the "top teams patch"...

Should come out firing.

I think we will too, but we can't become the next Richmond. And by that I mean 1st qtr specialists. Top clubs don't have the luxury of picking which games they want to "get up for" they come prepared every week.

Bail as sub I guess. Makes some sort of sense. Leave the young players at Casey where they can have some wins. Bring on one of our best runners late even if his skills are dreadful.

Toumpas and Riley on the bench. 1 inside mid, 1 outside runner.

Fitzy down back will be interesting. Probably takes Cordy or Boyd. Frees up Dunn and Garland to stop the Dogs midfield options.

I'm not sure if Fitzy will or should 2nd ruck or if they'll leave that to Pedersen. I'd be inclined to leave Fitzy in the back 7 alongside McDonald, Dunn, Garland, Grimes, Lumumba and probably Howe.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
