    Who came back after injury last year and was immediately at their best?  Max? Viney? Watts?  We had sub par performances on almost every occasion.  What exactly is the myth?

    Not to be pedantic but you did say "rushed back". Watts certainly wasn't rushed back because he didn't do his rehab properly and took way longer than they were expecting.

    And if not ready, should have not been selected....in his case, rushed back was still true, he came back before he should have.

    Viney came back too early, though easy to say in hindsight and even waiting another week or two, hard to see that the outcome would have been any different. Watts we know about (general slackness), and after Max missed half the season it was always going to be game over.

    There's a difference between being over your injury/fit, to being "at your best". No player coming off a few weeks (or more) away will be immediately at their best, it's one of the reasons we're putting players through practise matches now. It's called match fitness, and you can't get it just training.

    On the other hand, Hogan played his best ever game for the club after being "rushed back".

    And that is the reason he is gone and the call was made on him

    DMMA if he focussed on getting himself right for the finals tilt he would still be with us. Trust me

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
