Well they will have to roll the dice on Trenners, we need the leadership.

If he doesn't get up this week, it's sad to say but he's done.

Yet another top pick who failed for whatever reason to reach 200.

Dame Shame.

    why couldn't it be 3-4 rather than the dreaded 4-6 (aka the Black Death)

    Viney no Nick Smith!

    Were watts and Tyson training? 

    The news story concentrated on Bugg and showed him training today amongst others. Sorry, didn't notice Watts or Tyson, only Frosty.

    I know injuries are a part of football, but thanks to the AFL with giving us a 6 day break we have lost a lot of our players, this makes me so p$*$^% off.

    Not happy!

    Any other team have a similar tough stretch of short breaks and travel? For me it's the trip to Perth that really effed us, if it had been six day breaks all in Melbourne or at worst a trip to Canberra then I feel we might've got away with it a bit more. 

    But finishing that stretch by traveling to Perth seems to have proven too much. And of course they give us our one and only Friday night match at the end of it. 

    I'd be happy with MadAsHell's changes, I agree that some experience and leadership is needed and this could be time for Trenners to show the selectors he's still got something in the tank.

    Statement saying Tyson is a test is a positive sign. Good PR comms release the negative news together, rather than spreading it across multiple days. It means that positive news stories for the rest of the week can restore the faith in the supporters etx.

    I'd say Dom will be off legs until the main session, and if he gets through, he will play.

    Let's hope Jesse, Dom, Jack and Jeff are all good to go this week. If they are, we stand a good chance.

    If Tyson gets up i'll be a hell of a lot more comfortable about the Carlton game!

    On a positive not Tyson is apparently going to face a fitness test to get up this week. So clearly his knee is not as bad as first thought. I'd still have him out this week though.

    If we can find a way to make it to finals with this appalling run of injuries this year , I'd say that'd be a HUGE achievement.

    Its been almost the  worst year I can think of re injuries. Some terrible symmetry between losing Gawn and then Spencer 2 weeks later followed by Jones and two weeks later Viney. Im not going to say no Viney no Melb but no Jones, Viney, Watts, Garlett, Hogan, Brayshaw, Tyson may be.  I think it may be a bridge too far Im afraid and I think the blues may step all over us on the inside. Hoping we see Watts and Hogan and Garlett and if we do i'll be a tad more hopeful again.  But even then,  our insidemid dominance has been such a feature of how we play that I think the Jones, Viney one two punch may hit harder than the Gawn / spencer one.

    On the upside. IF we somehow overcome all of this and land in the 8...then all these boys are back and probably fresh. Big ask of the club and its leaders right now. Jordan Lewis needs to step up biiiiiig time as does Bernie and Max. fingers are firmly crossed but Ive felt  all of last weeks optimism drain out of me this week. Back to my reliably pessimistic demon self. At least its territory I can trust!

    We have been killed by injury.  Two heart and soul players wont be back til the 2nd last game at best. Various other stars missing for large chunks.

    If we make the finals from here, they should automatically put us through to the granny as an acknowldegement of such a legendary effort. 

    If we were anything close to full strength most of the season we'd be sitting on top of the ladder.

    Footy Feed said Watts, Tyson, Garlett and Hogan didn't train today. Pretty strange considering the latter is fully fit, just possibly not match ready. Something must be going on here...

    The Blues have got to win 7 out of 8 to make the finals. Not Likely.

    Therefore we can only hope that they will TANK. But we all know they wouldn't do that. LOL

    Just a hunch, but I don't think the Tom Bugg appearance before the AFL Tribunal will be a good news story. So positive news - should there be any - can only start after the media has finished extracting every drop from that story. So let's say Thursday.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
