Heard tonight that Max had scans on his ankle this morning. He might not be right for Saturday.

Some encouraging news.

We have the lowest percentage in the 8 and are only in there by 1 game and peple are thinking of resting players?
Give me a spell.

This is such an important item.

We need to deliver a thumping somewhere between now and the end of the H&A. I reckon we can get hold of North this weekend.

JKH good VFL player poor AFL one

Need to give him a chance to mature. we have far too often criticized players as not being up to it, to find ourselves being proven wrong. A couple of years ago Max was not highly regarded, Jetta couldnt cut it as a forward, Frost, both Mac's, ANB, Melksham, etc... he is young and needs some games.

I think that Vince's best position isn't off the half back flank. With Hibberd, Hunt, Salem and at time Lewis I think that's plenty of half back flankers bringing the ball out of defence. When Bernie was in good form for Melbourne he was playing in the midfield and off a wing. Remember in the first couple of seasons seeing him running and receiving the handball kicking 50m goals, that's the Vince we need back. I think we should push him back into the midfield and off a wing.

There are four interstate games being played this Saturday (including ours),  and not one of them will be on Channel 7.

I think Gawn might be given a week off. Not sure if they want to play him at 50%.

jones might also be given another week.

pederson in for Gawn. 

Expecting Goldy to come back into the team and if he hits some form he usually hits the scoreboard too.

If Magic door stays in their team I would be more open to your suggestion.

There's training right now. I'll let someone actually there start the thread but suspect what's observed will colour our views re changes.

Im very curious.

damn just as we get a reminder of how awesome Gawn is in that first quarter - a dead set Star and game changer - he rolls his ankle.  ah well, could be worse, im sure he'll be right for the Great Western flogs next week

Peedo in for Gawn.

SEN reporting Max in doubt, but not saying anything different than has already been reported on here.

I knew finishing a match with zero injuries was strange. Glad they finally compensated us at training with our mid-week injuries to important players!

Well seriously why would one broadcast a Norf home game before 55 spectators?

If Jetta is out Wagner comes straight back in and Pedo for Gawn if he doesn't get up. No other changes unless Jones is ready.

Did any one see Oliver at training if so how was he looking?

You prefer JKH to Trengove Barney?

That must mean you have very low opinion of Trengove.

No I didn't say that.

At the moment Trenners doesn't have the speed to play AFL.

I would like to see him play if he was 100%. I just don't think he ever will reach those heights again.

    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
