Great picture of the skeleton.

I would love to see the X-ray of anyone who has played contact sport.

it certainly doesn't look like this.

    No you're confused Barney. You're thinking of Betty going "eee! eee!! eee!!!" when you're ravaging her in drunken celebration of a Melbourne win!

    Well it seems he knows he probably shouldnt have been playing basketball going by his tweet. 

    Frustrating time and setback in my goal of playing as soon as I can in 2016. I made a mistake and I'll learn from it. Thanks for the support

    But interesting to hear Liam Pickering speak this morning on his thoughts.

    Seems to me Mr Pickering is not saying anything profound but stating the bleeding obvious. It's not even headline worthy just another bit of click bait for the Hun.

    Would assume he doesn't manage him.

    Though Pickering States the bleeding obvious....it is the fact of the matter. Deride the messenger all you like. Fawn over the P kid all you like. Reality is he f'd up . Something to learn from. Very unprofessional.  Very un what the club provided. 

    Some here have already presented him a golden..ne .. Platinum card.

    Kid hasn't turned a trick for us yet. He has NO credits in bank.

     Needs to pull socks up and pay respect to his trainers and coaches. 

    I'll probably be alone in this. Don't give a fig.

    THIS. Someone on here said something in regards to this which has really resonated with me: your worst player on the list is the one that can't get on the park. 

    Yes we know Petracca has a huge amount of potential, but at the moment he offers nothing and will continue to offer nothing until he starts playing games.

    Some may think I'm knifing the lad. No such thing. I'm concerned. 

    He needs to present properly and play to ability. He'll...that's what he's paid to do.

    Pickering is right ! What if he had done his ACL again . I for one would be livid! Learn a lesson indeed ! Should have been drummed into him and all players from the start" no unofficial" activities period! Remember Sam Blease breaking his leg playing muck around footy at school. Arguably finished his career before it started. I for one not happy at all with this setback to Petracca. 100 percent committed to playing AFL footy for all Melbourne players all else out

    I'm sure we will all forget this moment when he starts tearing up MCG this season.

    Give me a massive a spell. We deride this generation for sitting the bum and playing video games. Old mate feels confident in the knee for a little shoot around, massively unlucky. 

    I'll be putting money in him for rising star.

    How Liam Pickering is given airtime escapes me. Nothing he says is worth listening to.

    the station may get the inside 'goss' on others. they can use via other presenters?

    hear you tone, blzb...

    we all should start to expect more from our players,  rather than playing out fantasy videos of them across the bedroom wall,  showing how they could play,  rather than how the ARE playing?.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
