I hear Brayshaw got a paper cut picking up his new contract which has become infected and he will miss 4-6 weeks

And Hogan absent, as mentioned later in article.

Lose to crows, can't see us making finals. Timing...

It didn't look that serious to me and was later in the session

Ben Guthrie acknowledged as much on his Twitter post

Fingers crossed 

I read Hunt trained fully, how did he look CJ? We might need to rush him back.

Hopefully just resting up that knee in the back he copped.

Although, given Hogan's track record in crunch games...... 

 

Hunt looked good

But I can't see rushing him back given he was dropped before injury

Intersting tho with Casey bye this week

Kent and AvB looked good too. CJ Peds trained with backs also

Apparently he's been outstanding as a key defender for Casey the last few weeks.

Do we bring him in to take a Walker, Jenkins or Lynch?

Yes! Versatile swingman and adds size against their bigger blokes. Supports Maxy in ruck too freeing up Tmac

Doesn't sound too major, reckon he'll be right, along with Hogan.  No drama.

Personally I’d be surprised if they risk him. It’s a crunch game I know but if he plays and strains it properly....


I just saw Norm Smith (Ghost) at the hardware store (dead ringer), he said don't stress, we've got this, go book your GF tickets, the curse has now lifted, won't lose a game for the rest of the year!

Why people bother posting this childish sort of rubbish I'll never know.

Another leg injury hey?

Injuries happen.

If he plays he plays if he doesn't he doesn't.

True but I’m sure you agree it’ll have a considerable impact on our ability to win.

Yep.

No Viney or Oliver doesn't bode well.

I just try not to worry over things I have zero control over.  What's the point ?

  • 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.
