The Fillopovic reason is truly bizarre.. rest him for 2 works of not playing on the assumption that hes on a low base? Yet hes had a full pre season??

Brilliant.  We have to beat the Saints this week.. we can then get on a huge roll with gun players coming back and hopefully at or close to full strength.

11 players mentioned as injured (weeks)  provided Petracca is back and Hogan is okay. 

Of the 11, really only Viney and Salem out of our best 22.  Hoping they are only 2 weeks away and we can setup for a big run of wins.

Play him in the seniors he's too important to play in the VFL.

Don't know where he says he unequivocally does NOT want to play VFL, but I am sure that is the case and fair enough.

Will probably still play VFL i reckon

Obviously very good news to hear he isn't far off.  But i caution anyone who thinks he will return as the Viney we all know launching us even further ahead on ladder etc, at least in his first 3 to 5 matches.

Most players usually have an average return to the game (vs their usual standards) when coming off a very interrupted pre-season (or none at all) and tend to have some up and down results during the remainder of their season.  After such a long lay off i can't see this being any different for Jack (albeit his main game is a rung above most, so lessor results should still be pretty damn good).

Will be a great day when he finally runs out!  Then there's the effect on team moral.  Now that might have a substantial impact even if Jack is having some ups and downs so you might get the outcome you are hoping for Petracc!

We now have 11 players on the injured list, the Saints have 4. 

 

In and of itself that doesn't mean much.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
