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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
