Take a deep breath   policy, wasn't feeling quite  right, so session over, 3 days before game

Told him to limp for cameras

It's not a good policy as it's been proven a few times this year that players have tried to play through injuries and made it worse.

    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 ?

    Time for Jones and Lewis to rise up a notch and take leadership back. Oliver has been carrying this team, and should he not play, those two have to step up.

    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

    Can someone please confirm whether Casey plays more games than it has byes in a full season?

    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?

     

    Didn't Vince play on (and smash) Lynch last time we played them?

    I suspect Clarry will play, but if not, surely we have to look at Vander. He outdoor be one week ahead of expected return. We could use a grunt mid to replace Clary.

    Vanders looked really fit today

    Not sure if that means anything, I'd probably look fit if I spent 2 years in the pool/gym

    From the coach:

     

    And Hogan probably getting treatment for his knock. Harmes, would anybody train 2 days after getting their hand operated on?

    The Footy Gods are really playing mind games with us Dess atm, what other curve balls does they have up their sleeves?

    I reckon Clarry just wants a lie down and a massage.  Good to mess with the Crows heads.  they will be planning around Clarry so this will throw them into a spin

    Doedee would be a big out.  he is their intercept defender and important structurally

    if people get bad news, sometimes they like to emote in order to deal with the news.  then they move on.  if you don't that's cool but other like to

    What's wrong with Hogan? Perhaps the reason he's been a bit off of late? Did he sustain an injury Sat night, I didn't see it.

    Copped a knee in the back/hip in 3rd quarter. Played out the game with a limp. Commentators said when it happened that it was the kind of knock that was going to hurt afterwards. Doubt it would have been enough not to play on the weekend. Not that I know.

    I think the club should take a no risk approach with Oliver, Harmes and possibly Hogan. Its not the end of the world if we lose this week. Beat the Suns, get all the guns back for Sydney and try to win 2 of the last 3. That gets us a final.

    Was ill yesterday and today but will train later in the week and play Saturday night.

    Also, Harmes will be given to the last minute on game day.

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

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

    Yeah not the first time he's done similar. Oliver much more the one I worry about. Even if only underdone.

    Good news, singular, but good. A big body to challenge the brainless one (Tex).

    Vanders - an inspirational return awaits. Pedo - an inspiration return awaits. Frosty - an inspirational return has occurred. Some things are good and I suspect Clarrie is really just fine - he'd train but he needs little of the skills drills, this week. Wagner may be useful this week with mobility and height.

    Has to come in for Joel IMO and takes Tex.  O-Mac to Jenkins.  Frost to Lynch

    • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are on the road for the next month and will be desperate to claim a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive against Port Adelaide.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
