    This injury to TMac is a worrying considering the limited preseasons the Weid and T Smith have had. Also puts the kibosh on Hogan having stints in the middle. Pedo would be a lock for Round 1 now.

    What is the condition of T Smith? Is he ready or capable at this stage of playing in the firsts?

    He got the call up last year when Hoges was suspended against the Cats. Didn't have a lot of the footy but had more than Weids who was in the same team. Got injured 2 weeks later and did not return to the team.

    Gary Hardeman, Laurie Fowler and Sean White for me.

    i am old enough to remember Tassie Johnston as a great full back - Peter Hudson said he was his hardest opponent.

    Laurie Fowler, tremendous footballer for Melb after his stint with the Tigers. Best friend of John Nichols, I heard. And Tassie Johnston. Those great drop kicks from the Richmond goalsquare past the centre of the MCG. He just knew where the ball was going. Few ever got in his way. Two greats. Hardeman, not a tall, killing all opposition forwards, the greatest.

    So am I.

    Tassie's drop kicks from the goal square would land in the centre where Hassa was.

    Can't see how this is the case 'Demonland'...

    Tommy wasn't playing last week and Hoges still had a run through the middle.

    Nothing will change in that regard.

    Are we even sure Tom is definitely missing in round 1 or are we all panicking?

    Far from panicking.

    I'd prefer him to Pedersen, but it's hardly wrist slashing material if he doesn't play the first few rounds.

    If TMac is missing, then we can have a forward line of pedo/maxy rotating and hogan, with Fritsch and Hannan in support.   We can even send Trac in there as a CHF/FF for a while.  We have a range of options (none of which is Frost, TBH), without playing either Smith or Weids.  If they are not ready, they are not ready.  If we win the middle, keep pressure forward, and hit good targets, it isn't going to be the end of the world.

    I’m none the wiser if he has the start of a stress fracture or not now! Exactly how the club wants it I assume

    A sore toe could just mean a sore toe. Unlike previous years, I think we’re now just being extra cautious and not rushing players back, Viney would have been playing round 1.

    unless i missed something (entirely possible) i didn't see any denial of a hotspot by goody or even any mention of one

    did say a sore toe for 4 weeks

    You’re right, no mention at all of a hotspot, after the news of a hotspot surfaced last night a sore toe seemed like a relief. If indeed there is one, i guess they’re hiding it.

    "I'm confident [he will play round one]. He's got a sore toe and he's had that for a month or so," Goodwin said as he enters his second season in charge of the Demons.

    If the above is true, why was T Mac allowed to play in AFLX and the opening JLT?  I thought the players were straight into rehab if they felt even a slight itch.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
