    This was flagged earlier in the week by a poster.  Can’t remember who it was.  From memory they said it was only a minor tweak.  Hopefully it’ll only be a couple of weeks as opposed to 4...

    Does that mean your available for selection?

    It’s not this week that hurts so much but next. Usually hammies aren’t a one weeker so it may go to two, then it’s a flight to WA which isn’t great for them either. Unless it’s the tinniest hammy ever I think he misses a few.

    He played out the game so it can't be that serious.

    The cynical part of me thinks that that we are coming up with an excuse for resting him without appearing to be complacent against a weak side.

    Cannot take a damn trick. It seems the soft tissue injuries are really setting in :(

    I strained my hammy earlier this year and missed 2 weeks,. If you do everything right in terms of rehab and conditioning then you can make it back in 2 weeks instead of your usual 3-4..

    My biggest issue is why did they send him out again when they knew he strained earlier on...?‍♂️

    Our medical team annoys me..

    If it had to happen, I'd rather it now than in a few weeks time. 

    Rest up Milkshake. Time to unleash AVB!

    We have been told all year that if they have the slightest niggle, they go to the rehab group. Funny how that continually proves to be an untrue piece of information.

    Yeap, not sure he will be back under 4 weeks. Can’t wait for the review into training side of things.

    It's difficult to go into rehab in the middle of a match which if we lost it would likely mean we miss the 8.  A judgement might have been made that what you have been told all year (really?) is out of date.

    Dangerfield missed 2 weeks (the week after JLT and round 1 this year) with a very minor strain so I''m using that as a guide. So he'll surely miss the crucial Sydney game which is a pity.

    Unless Smiley Misson is bull crapping about it only being 'minor', expect him back for round 22 V's WCE.

    So lets risk a player injury to try and make finals?

    No thanks! We tried that with Jack Viney and it backfired terribly. Hes lucky he didn't tear his hamstring!

    Should have put him on ice when they first alerted the problem.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
