    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
