Very sad and worrying news for Roughy, his family and the club.

Hope he responds well to the treatment as is able to get back to full health.

seriously puts the whole game of football and our whole obsession on who re-signs or why Tmac can't kick a football into perspective.

Get well soon - good health is everything....

It's great the Fagan stated it was detected early. Get well Roughy.

Doesn't "Four time Premiership player" have a nice ring to it....that would be nice.

That is very sad news.

Brings back bad memories of Jimma - I hope that he has a better long term outcome.  A bugger of a disease and totally unpredictable.  

Unfortunately though, sun protection is very much underrated especially amongst the "invincible young", but even when it is well followed there are failures.

Get well, Jarryd.

He lives just near me.  Top bloke and down to earth.  I have wished him well on behalf of all Demon supporters.  I tried to get him to consider joining the Dees, a couple of years back but he wouldn't even give it a second thought.  I wonder why?

Rangers are always under pressure in Australia. Our sun is lethal and getting moreso. 2 minutes in Melbourne sun and it starts to sting...

he should be ok

but i thought Jimma would beat it to...

Hopefully he gets through it and can live a long and healthy life.

Bad news for the big rough.

Melanoma is one of the worst cancers. It is why early detection and treatment is so critical. However as BB has pointed out, new treatments are now available that will make a big difference to life expectancy.

Jordan Lewis was almost in tears tonight on 360 talking about it, was very upsetting to watch. Hopefully he will be ok considering they caught it so early. Good luck to him and his family.

Not only has Roughy overcome his dreaded disease, and will be back playing football, he will also captain the Hawkes.  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/comeback-kid-jarryd-roughead-to-captain-hawthorn-hawks-in-2017-20170119-gtv54f.html

It looked quite dire when he bowed out last year.  Getting well and getting fit are herculean efforts.  Good on him and I wish him well as Captain (except when they play the Dees). 

I also hope he gets this: "I want to potentially live to be a dad or grandad..."   If there was ever a nice guy in football who deserved all that life has to offer, it is Roughy.

Edit: wondering if mods would like to change title of thread to include Roughy has made a comeback

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
