Some of our list management and player management decisions in the past 12-18 months are mind boggling.

Which ones ?

    That isn't as bad as it first looks.  Harmes will play this week as will KK (VFL).  May back next week. 

    While it would be handy to have AVB, Hannan, Lever, J. Smith and Garlett available realistically they wouldn't all be in the side this week anyway and we won last year without them (except Hannan). 

    Mostly I'm glad that Viney, Jones and Melksham are off that list and will play.

    All things considered our injury list is in reasonable shape.

    We have about eight blokes who are nowhere near ready for senior football, so to have another ten on the injury list leaves us with little more than the bare minimum to pick from this week. Some of our list management and player management decisions in the past 12-18 months are mind boggling.

    another typical hysterical post by you.

    It would be interesting to compile 2 lists....

    1/

    Demon recruits who fail  to get through their first season  due to  season-ending injuries in the first few weeks

    2/Demon recruits who get through their first season unscathed.

    I reckon it would be about 10:1

    Damn, Had Vanders and Smith in my super-coach too! 

  • Quote

    The question must be asked. Why he played the last quarter of the jlt game obviously injured.. 

    Now that he is out with a long-term injury. 

  • Quote

    Beginning to think Vanders and Smith might be cursed!

    and Vanders is the flare up of his horrible injury.  hope he isn't 4-6 for the next 10 weeks   ?

    Especially in the Rookie  category

    Maybe they don't do enough fitness work before footy skills?

    Isnt Shannon Byrne in a specialist role (more off field ) I think?

    Maybe Max Rookes area ?

    Snyone know?

    “He’s really tracking along well at the moment so he’s somewhere in between (returning in) Round 7 or 8 to Round 10-12 so it’s in that range, depending on how it goes from here on.”

    Does that mean he will not return round 9 ?

    Is that a convoluted way of saying between round 7 & 12

    Source? Particularly as to Garlett?

    KK played on the weekend so surely wouldn't be on the injury list any more?

    On a related note, why is the club's website so terrible?

    Club websites are for puff pieces and some stats. If you expect more you will be always disappointed.

    Sure, but we didn't hire someone to replace him?

    Would appear not at this point!

    So pleasing for AVB.

    A positive prognosis from the specialist is great news!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
