Yep. Hasn't really changed the entire time he has been out. 3 to 4 weeks ago it was 3 weeks de-load and 3 week re-load.

I'm very sad........nevertheless i was sad last year for a while too.  This year however i'm sad because of knowing that they are better than what i thought they were last year. Whereas last year i didn't really know what they could achieve, so in effect i'm sadder this year than last year....you could ask if i will be extremely sad next year.......

I think Spargo would be helpful at the SCG. 

 

#edit:  I hope they do Not play TMc this week...  rest him  Ffs.

We do not need that high-endurance run on the bloody SCG.   So ANB and TMc can rest a week. 

 

But a bit of punch off the mark,  wouldn't go astray... - Sparrow. Chandler,

It’s crazy how many players are getting injured.  We need more cotton wool. 

Surely KK puts on the helmet like Brayshaw.  

The helmet does nothing to stop a concussion. Brayshaw wears it because his mum wants him to. 

He got elbowed in the head. It happens. He obviously is very prone to concussion and we need to manage that. 

I assume they’ll do with him what they did with Gus and Jetta before him, both of which, touch wood, have come out the other end.

Footballing maths. I suspect you might really mean 4 of our best 22.

football is all about your bottom six - take away four of the 22 and yr reliant upon your squad, and that's 26

fwiw, if you add in kk, that's 9 of what was my ostensible 'best 26' from the start of the year now missing:

B: Jetta - May - Lever
HB: Lewis - O Mac - Hibberd
C: Jones - Brayshaw - Harmes
HF: Petracca - T Mac - vandenBerg
F: J Smith - Weideman - Melksham
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
I/c: Hannan - Hunt - Fritsch - Preuss
Emerg: Spargo - Stretch - Kolodjashnij - Frost

that's 8 of 26 currently on the injury list, or freshly added to it since the weekend, plus jkh is next cab off the ranks too

Add Jetta and Lockhart to the growing list.

Mature-age forward Jay Lockhart has a back issue, while gun backman Neville Jetta is also battling some soreness.

Now that we've finally added McDonald to the injury list, when most people could tell he was struggling in round 1, when are we going to be honest about Jetta? The guy can barely move at the movement.

As I was saying ... ?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS 

12 injured players heading into round 4. 

Whilst not all are best 22, but imo 7 would be in my best 22 

jetta. Lever. May. Kk. Hannan. Lewis. jsmith. Vandenburg.

That’s TOO MANY ALREADY in a tough relatively even competition.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
