Neville JettA rarely gets done in a one on one. He finds a target nearly every time. He plays big-and is reliable. Also can negate the second and third best small forwards in the league

Can't see them dropping Harmes.  Frost first out for Petracca. Brayshaw second out for Oliver. Would be happy for neither, one or both to occur.

Harmes is currently equal 3rd on our ladder of tackles (with Jetta, behind Bugg and the manic Viney). The club would be well aware of this and understand the value of it - it disappoints me when suppo

Please don't play Viney as tagger on Steven. Put someone else on him. We need Viney leading the attack. 

I think those days are gone....

I think we'll be too hard and hungry for the Saints either way.

We're riding a wave at the moment and I think we're irresistible at the contest. 

We're playing really inspired football and our young players are hungry for more.

I don't know why they do this but the AFL generally issues an injury list on Tuesday afternoons which usually turns out wrong. Here's the Saints' injury list - it looks pretty healthy

Leigh Montagna (hamstring) Expected return TBC

Nick O'Kearney (arm) Test

Brenton Payne (shin) Test

Nick Riewoldt (ankle) Expected return TBC

Dylan Roberton (knee) Expected return TBC

Source: The injury list: round six

I wouldn't bother with the one they put out for Melbourne - better to wait for the inaccurate one the club puts out on Wednesday night or Thursday.

WJ I am surprised you even look at these lists they have been  rubbish for as long as I can remember.

Look at the game against the Tigers everyone knew Deledio would be very unlikely to play.

Tigers were all positive till game day then he comes out.

The  lists are BS.

I don't think they're BS, I just think that they reflect the inaccuracies and vagaries of injuries and recovery. Every Tuesday they put down a marker and call it an "injury list" - but it's a moveable feast.

Interesting though most 1st gamers get told mid week as it gives them that couple of days to organize family tickets and more direct focus on the game and potential opponent's.

Moveable yes but a feast it ain't 

The details are shown to try and confuse other teams but they have little to do with the actual.

Looking forward to seeing Petracca debut. Still think Oliver and Matt Jones will also come in as we will need fresh runners. 

Not sure who goes out.

Now I reckon only Oliver will join Petracca. Brayshaw is one likely out but the other ..... no idea unless there is an as yet undisclosed injury.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
