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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
