Did he have a dart hanging out of his mouth? 

If you freeze-frame, you can see Tom Scully getting spewed on again…

    I would have thought Ruckmen have sore calfs every week. With all that jumping and crashing into an opponent all day. 

    Big Max will wear Jimmy’s number on sunday

    Am I missing something - #11?

    Overkill IMO. Just pick a method of death and go with it.

    Jonesy on 360 was very confident that Max would play.  Party line?  Dunno.

    My source tells me this morning that the calf is much improved. Max could not fully weight bear on that particular side earlier in the week but is now walking freely without discomfort.

    Will be put through some running tomorrow morning and if he pulls up ok he will be right to go.

    My source is confident Max will play which was music to my ears!

    Great news.  Coming from you, this fills me with a lot of confidence.  Thank you.

    Max needs to spend periods down forward, having spells (and kicking goals)

    Pedo will be in the 22 i reckon.

    He said he can see quite well.

    As I mentioned in another thread, did anyone notice Gawn had his calf heavily strapped against the Suns? I did, so him walking laps was no surprise.

    I also missed the Adelaide match due to other commitments, but watching the 1st quarter this morning, he obviously had heavy strapping on the calf then too.

    Its obviously something he has been managing for a while now.

    Pedo is in the 22, I'm thinking that is a good bet each way for either fully covering Max in the ruck, or at the minimum he plays that big man intercept marking role that Max has played so well in the back half of the season to give Max a bit of a chop out.

    Yep. He will do both i hope. 

    He will play crucial roles. Let’s hope he does them well. We need him if we are going to proceed

    That’s shin padding, which is what most ruckmen are using instead of shin guards now.

    Wondered why the Opposition keeps trying to bring the big fella down all the time after he gets rid of the ball.....

    Is it only shin padding though?

    Looked to me like his calf was strapped.

    Yeah that’s what it looks like, but under the strapping is a little pad right where the shinbones clash, you’ll notice it on most ruckmen this year.

    I’m assuming a de-load day for the big man, but if anyone is there can they shed some light if known.

     

    apparently making big strides today.

    rucking tomorrow ?

    I think Hunt is more so to cover the role of Smith.  Pedo takes big pack marks at AFL level, Smith doesn't do that yet.

    Spar go to ruck. Would certainly be an interesting first bounce.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      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 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.
