On the positive IF we can somehow scrape/ fluke/ edge our way into the finals. We get Viney and hibberd bk fresh. But .... I agree. Club is cursed. Memories of 1995 when Schwartz, tingay, Charles , Lyon, , jakovich all had virtually career ending injuries. 

We’re going to have to b lucky now. Feel like we’re gonna be one win short. Can’t help but see the High irony if Gawn, having the best season fr the club I can almost remember post flower, may have in part cost us a finals spot in round 1.

The week and the weekend suddenly has taken a turn for the worse. 

Massive loss. Hibberd brings so much to the team.  

 Quad injuries are difficult to heal. A serious tear could be season ending.  

Please wrap Max up in cotton wool.

Jones had a quad injury he was out for 6, I hope its not as severe as that.

My source tells me it's not severe a la Jones last year.  2 to 3 weeks tops.

That’s some good news if that’s the case Rusty. Misson’s report stated he hurt his quad in the ‘extras’ session after the main was completed. Aarghhh!! 

Hibbo as seen on the news footage that morning still managed to stop for a young fan’s autograph request on his limping way back to AAMI.

Happy for any good news Rusty....but how reliable is your source? 2-3 would be a massive relief if you're right. Could be we get Hunt, Viney, Hibberd back all around the same time. And yes I know Hunt was playing in the Magoos when injured but cant help but feel how much we're missing him atm.

How does the severity of Hibberd's injury affect our chances of winning this week? He's not playing either way.

It doesn't - I meant if it's a tear it's season over for him but if it's only a strain I still think we can win this week without him anyway and hopefully get him back the week after.

Nathan Jones missed 6 weeks with a quad strain.

If its a tear for Hibberd then bank on him missing the rest of the year unfortunately.

Very solid Wells.  Not in the business of selling false hope to the long suffering here.

Assuming the recovery goes as expected, Hibbs will return in 2 to 3

Hope Your right about Hibberd, can’t really afford a longer injury this stage of the season

Especially on the bigger MCG type grounds where he can run to space and break the lines.

Better news thankfully.

Hibberd was on 10 news saying should only 1-2 weeks out was quite positive 

Thats great news.  Back for Adelaide possibly, if not definitely Gold Coast.

I'd give him the Crows game and the Suns game to get it right.  The Adelaide game might be too soon, while I think we can get away with not having him for a horrible Suns side.  Get him cherry ripe for the Swans.

Still no update on Hibberd?

No timetable was given for his injury

The Age today...

The Demons, battling for a return to the finals for the first time since 2006, hope to have co-captain Jack Viney (foot) and running defender Michael Hibberd (quad) back for the round-21 clash against Sydney.

Cheers 10.

To say it would be a huge boost to get them back for that crucial match would be an understatement.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
