    There was no contact... the knee just went.

    ABC saying Melbourne are worried it's an ACL...

    FML that would be right. We can’t have things go smoothly at Melbourne. Something always has to go wrong. 

    Fingers crossed!

    It was pretty innocuous. Changing direction at relatively low speed. Hoping for the best.

    Just caught the end of someone on ABC in rooms interview.  Maybe Tommy McD?

    Either he or commentator said ACL was mentioned somewhere.  All a bit vague, but IF a full ACL the man involved would surely know it.

    Sadly no contact when his knee seemed to buckle, so unlikely to be bone bruising, I reckon.  Sincerely hope that this is just MFCSS in my part!

    He has had a knee reconstruction on that knee in 2014 so here’s hoping he hasn’t done major damage to it. 

    Im not holding my breath.

    TripleM doc said likely ligament damage, but only expects 4-6 weeks off. We shall see.

     

    E: Goodwin just said suspected ACL

    Felt so relieved reading that.

    Then I got to the second line.

    For [censored] sake.

    It will be what it is.

    Please remind me who is / are playing any similar type of rôle at Casey?  

    Keilty? How is he coming along?

    Same question for Petty?

    It would be a backward step though could become necessary to more Tommy back?

    Is it possible that it’s a partial knee tear and he returns in 6-8 weeks like Dale Morris?

    I rate Petty. However as we saw with Nev today, i reckon it's just another tall defender to plug the hole and free up nev and hibbo for the intercept.

    If he needs a MRI then almost certainly not until Monday but the 2 day delay wouldn’t effect recovery from whatever it turns out to be.

    Surely footballers get preferential treatment and quicker results? 

    Not sure we can wait until Monday. Might die of anxiety.

    Hope he returns like Jake Lever, not like Dale Morris ?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
