Heading to the ground with my youngest (nearly 3) today for her first AFL game. She has her demon backpack packed already and is packing her snacks into little ziplock bags, never seen her so organize

It is what it is.  If there's no crack it should be fine with an "off legs" approach in a few weeks.

Is he doomed to a career hampered by that foot? It’s been an absolute debacle since last year. How can we not get this right?

Yeah he's obviously a good player to lose. Our injury list compared to last year is a lot better though. And compared to other top 8 teams (Richmond aside) we've had a great run with injury this season. The Pies are sitting second on the ladder with a massive injury list.

It’s disappointing. Another foot problem for the Dees another one for Viney after less than 10 weeks of games. However injuries will happen and we have the depth of talent to cover. No excuses. Move on. Kill them dogs and take us one step closer to finals.

It’s been going on for 2 years now. What makes you so confident this isn’t going to be an ongoing problem?

3 players. 3 of the same stress foot injuries. 1 year. Bad luck or an issue with the surface of Gosch?

Ohh FFS.... 

More frustrating choice is not bringing in Dom to play that inside role.. would be fair to say his papers are fairly stamped..

Because I've researched the subject.

Unless they use Vince in the midfield to replace Viney.

Thats... not good.

That foot is cursed. Put him on ice and get it right. Need him for the tail end of the year.

Stuff it that sucks!  Its not so much the fact that Jack's won't play today, but the nature of the injury itself.  I wonder if it's the same foot / toe.

Media report says it's the same toe. No crack, but stress issue. Mahoney made it sound like it'll be a few weeks out and back before finals. Hopefully.

We need to a hire a podiatrist full time at the club and assess all our footwear and surfaces we train on.  Either we have players with the same genetic weakness or something is causing the stress.

In pre game warm up, Frosty has just kicked 3 torps from the goal line that landed just a few metres short of the centre square.

Not sure if this is a plan but under no pressure he is in good kicking firm today.

The G is a sight. Missing only people.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
