    Unfortunately it doesn’t mean much.

    for f@#k sake. this is a massive blow. we cant move tom mcdonald back again. he is much better forward. tmac makes poor decisionsck. roll the dice and play t.smith or frost down back. either way,  i think finals will be hard to make and we lost the Adelaide deal after this.

    This is perhaps the greatest overreaction I have ever read on here. We better pack up shop. Sitting second on the ladder and we lose one player and you reckon we are done for finals

    Gee do you suffer panic attacks, it is not 1950's player get over ACL all the time, you dont judge the trade over 1or 2 seasons, his young he will be back next year, and do you think we won't win 5 more games without lever.

    There's a doctor in this thread who is totally overreacting.  He should know the prognosis so this is extremely worrying to me.  He's even diagnosed the side with 'missthefinalitis' because of it.  We're doomed!

    If ACL related usually means bad news.

    Terrible news for Jake. I saw it live and the change in direction on a shifting surface is classic ACL. 

    Unfortunately a risk of signing Jake was that he did another ACL. Hopefully he rehabs like the professional he is and ads some size and comes back bigger and better. Might be able to coach up his replacement as well.

    Extremely poor form by them. Regardless of who you support, laughing at a young man who has suffered a serious injury and who will miss a year of an already short career means you are 100% a grub.

    This makes me just as bad as them, but I really hope anyone who commented or even used a laughing emoji loses all of their worldly possessions in a house fire.

    At least he wont have to front up at Adelaide Oval against the Crows. Silver lining.

    This self described Dr may well not be a medico: possibly a PhD in Social Science (subcategory over reacting) ?

    Obviously Adelaide don't have a memory as long as mine.

    The mongrels pinched Scott Thompson when he was just hitting his straps with us. No suggestions from them that he was a traitor for leaving us.

    And I wonder what they think about Gibbs going to them from Carlton.

    I’d set them up with a left jab and then punch through them with a straight right.

    The world is full of hysterical clowns and you are obviously just another one.

    The word starts with F and ends with K, this word can be interpreted in many different ways. But in this case its just in complete disappointment.

    Exactly. I bet they wouldn't say the same thing if it was Charlie cameron who also left. and what you would want to say to them is Lever wanted to come home just like Gibbs did, so do you have an issue with Gibbs playing for your club? No one wants to stay at Adelaide

    Enter Joel Smith...

    Fingers crossed for Jake.

    Not adverse to Joel coming in at some point but is he tall enough to play a loose intercept role?  Pedo bear maybe.  Or is it time to blood Petty?

    Weids worth a shot?  Might be the best move for him (us) if fit.

    KC and Drunkn might have something to add here.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
