You don't (or won't) get many opportunities like this injury wise to have a serious crack at the flag, these opportunities won't be there forever. As with all sides, an injury to two key players like Gawn and Hogan could spell the end to a season. If the lads are serious, time to have a real crack, we can beat anyone including Richmond on our day.

It's all your fault MSF (lol) since that post we have lost Stretch, Viney and Hibberd.

And of course you have mentioned a few big bears in Gawn and Hogan ?

Interesting that Hunt is still showing as 4-5 weeks... hard to see him contributing this season unless we play deep into the finals. Will be an interesting call as to whether they even try to get him back.

As I was typing that I thought that I shouldn’t post it. I can take the blame, screw you MFC!

It’s getting up there now, three key injuries and a chunk of depth in Smith, Hunt (who’s having a down year), and Stretch. Plus Jetta test as well. 

Big challenge for us now, really hope Hibbo’s quad injury is on the lower end of severity.

Anyone know if Tim Smith is available? I see he was in Rehab.

3 of best 10 out

realistically 4 of best 22 out if I include Hunt

fingers crossed Hibberd out for 1-2 weeks max and Hunt ready in VFL in another 2 weeks. We do need more run and carry

Nearly had a heart attack! Please write "maximum" when that's what you mean. I thought for a moment that "max" meant Gawn and for some reason he was lining up in the VFL. I know it's a completely illogical thought, but reading social media can have that effect.

That’s bizarre but understood!!

I will also not use “gone” in case that also is confusing

I didn't realise that this was insider trading. I thought I had missed an article with the info. Thanks for the heads up.

Hypothetically if it is two weeks then back for the Suns game. Which you'd reckon they would not play him in if not 100% cherry ripe. Back the following week against the Swans.

Just stated on 7 news hibberd would be looking for a return during finals.

that might have been an assumption...as many have made on here. In fact maybe that "news" came right off this site.  Lets wait til we hear from the club. Im liking Rustys info until proven otherwise.

    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

    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
