I would imagine these clean ups are not unique to the Dees.

all the more reason to buy shares in a hospital

    Some of them make a lot of money, but there is no doubt the wear and tear on the body is a huge sacrifice. 

    A life long sacrifice. 

    I was talking to Robbie Flower one night and he could hardly get off the couch and he said it was just as hard getting out of bed in the morning. 

    Its a reminder of the physical toll of AFL footy and a reason why we should never call players soft.

    Add : Oscar Mcdonald . He had an operation on his Hip which is why he was not at the B&F

    There was a bloke doing a bloody good impression of him then, check out the Roaming Harmes clip, with Gawn

    I didn't see him at the event, guess he was there at some stage if he is in the clip.I was chatting to T Mac at the afterparty who said he was not there due to operation on his hip, probably left B&F early.

    Sydney should pick up the tab on that one.

    Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who went to have a haircut while at work. The boss told him he couldn't do that. The employee said, "Why not? My hair grows on company time". The boss replied, "But you only work 8 hours a day". The employee said in response, "That's why I only asked the barber to shorten my hair by a third."

    Injured while doing battle for the MFC. MFC picks up the tab. It’s not a difficult concept.

    If May or Kolodjashnij are having surgery, should we pick up the tab? (Hint: the answer is no.)

    Said in jest mate.

    I know full well that's an MFC responsibility.

    Pretty amazing we got as far as we did when more than half of our best players in finals have ended up having serious post-season procedures.

    Can imagine Barrie, was not suggesting the chronic injury problem only applied to AFL.

    Many blokes I know who played in the Ammos for any length of time have arthritis or hip replacements in middle age. 

    Same for country footy, but most blokes in the country just limp!

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
