    This is all David Kings fault...... or maybe Jack Watts

    Injuries are part of Football. The lord giveth, the lord taketh away. Remarkable how often sheer bad luck descends on the chosen few. I wish them all the best. I really feel for them. Every club seems to have that tragic warrior. Once again, I really feel for those poor baaastards.

    Watts lacking intensity, Kent back, Ben Ken battling something, JKH arm, Vanders foot, Garlett hammy and Hannan got his teeth knocked out. Not a great time to be a demon half forward right now!

    ANB playing half forward in round 1? That worries me.

    I wouldn't mind a look at Hannan if he's right to go against the Eagles.

    And if Jetta isn't first choice as a defender these days I'd try him as a pressure forward, he did have some decent games there back in the day.

    I don't want to jinx us but there a time was when we were showing promise and the injuries that crippled us were Swatrz, Lyon, Tingay etc...

    Our current list has serious x-factor on every iine now. 

    We can cope with the above injuries.

    Going to be tough to beat St Kilda without a half forward line.

    Hopefully the Saints players are like Spud Frawley and think Alex and Neal Bullen are two different people. They won't be able to stop him.

    Real disappointed for JKH. Spoke with him at Family Day, real nice young bloke. He was excited about the season and potentially breaking into the 22. Hopefully its just the 4 weeks but you`d expect Jeffy to be well back by then and he may miss his chance and have to dominate at Casey to get a look in.

  • Quote

    Hoping JKH can keep the running up to maintain his tank. Looking forward to seeing what he can do this year.

    JKH with a broken arm, out for four weeks.

    vandenBerg with a foot injury, not sure how bad.

    Poor guy - just cannot take a trick.

    Speedy recovery, JKH.

    I am more concerned about VDB, maybe his body is just not made for AFL with constant ankle and now potential foot issues. We are certainly looking at lacking some small forward spark for round 1.

    ...not to mention GWS in the Granny. :(

    I'd like to see Trengove tried as a half forward if fully fit. The guy is a great mark and a reliable set shot. With Vanders out great chance to see if he could play that role. 

  • Quote

    Injuries will happen and, with all due respect to the players involved, I'm just relieved that it's not one of our key players.  We won't avoid injuries during the year so if we can minimise their impact as best we can then we should be okay.

    It will be interesting to see who plays as the smaller type forwards next week against West Coast.  Kent may be right by then, but it may give someone like a Johnstone, Trengove or ANB a look in for Round 1.  Hopefully someone bobs up and takes their chance.

    I don't get it. Yes it's disappointing for JKH and AVB but they were not going to be best 22 players anyway. They've already said Kent, Tyson and Jetta will be right against WCE. We'll have to wait  and see on Garlett

    Both were in my best 22 for round 1. Kent and Garlett might both be ok to play but I would've taken the fit and healthy guys in over them. Garlett after a month off and Kent after just 1 decent run aren't ideal.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
