OMG

Where the hell is the exorcist?  Normie’s curse is alive and well.

Not that he was likely to get a senior game this year but doing well at VFL and hopefully winning finals would be so important to his development. 

Poor bugger.

    Rats! 

    A big preseason awaits the fella.

    Looking forward to seeing him play seniors next year

    A shame for Baker but as these things go, not the worst injury we could get. Hopefully it's the last bad one of '18!

    A real shame. VFL finals would be a step up in intendity so it's a shame he will miss that experience as a player.

    He has been good in the VFL so I think next year could be the year he finds time in the AFL team.

    And it didn't look that bad when he did it!  I initially thought he had cramp and the physios worked on him for a while near the interchange bench.  I thought Mitch King's knee injury was worse, yet he is a 50/50 chance this week!  Ironic!

    Must have been a serious tear, it’s a shame as he was showing some good signs with a chance to debut this year.

    So he's only available for the grand final or is he available for more games?

  • Quote

    Was looking forward to seeing him play a game this year, especially with our outs and his pretty good form. TBH though, given it's 3 big-time opposition teams now, GC was probably his last chance anyway.

    Next year Oscar.

    Hopefully the next few weeks is all about getting our better senior players back in the team, rather than looking to blood a debutant.

    Baker has had a good first season developing in the vfl.  Bank it, then hit preseason at full speed.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
