    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
