    I just read the article;  he won't play if their sensible. Same foot. they won't risk it even if its not the turf toe thing, as they all relate symbiotically.

    It needs rest, and after the crows game, its a short turnaround for the doggies game.

    I expect TMc to be back for Q/Birthday.

     

    Welcome back Pedo.

    Just when we started to get momentum and found a structure that worked for us... horrible news. Even if it is precautionary, the fact he was carted off suggests he’ll miss this week at least for a rest. No offense to Pedo, but he won’t have anywhere near the same impact TMac does. Hopefully TMac is ok and it’s not a recurrence of that foot injury!

    Careful with that statement, the Pedo fan club will be after you.  Most of them think he is Wayne Carey 2.0

    Yes, he usually plays his obligatory great game when he returns to the seniors, then gradually gets worse by the week.

    Is T Mac really that critical to our structure that we can't win without him? I really hope not.

    It's an interesting point BBP, as now that we've found a structure that works, we should be able to cover him well enough that we still win the game we should be winning.

    Pedersen isn't a world beater, but he has the tank to get himself up the ground and have stints in the ruck.  Same goes for both Hogan and Tim Smith - they have the capacity to play Tom's role and therefore we keep the structure of the side intact.

    Obviously, Tom is in ripping form and we're not the same side without him, but I believe that now we have a good structure in place that we can push on in a positive direction if we don't have him in the side.

    Anyone know the turnaround of a scan result?

    24 hours?

    can be 5 mins if your specialist is on site

    The problem is that at Melbourne precautionary moves usually end up as being 4 to 6 weeks.

    If it's a recurrence of his foot problem then 4 to 6 will be a bonus...

    They will get the scan result pretty much straight after doing it, they will do the scan then take a look at it...no need to wait.

    almost instant  these days if you have the doc (as I am sure they will have) there to read the scan results. A little longer if you want second opinions etc

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
