9 out this week. Vandenburg unlikely to play until round 15 at best. He may be gone. 

Looking like we may have made a mistake in not letting him go to the Swans and trying to get Zak Jones as part of a deal.

We are unlucky with our trades, in that we got Lever, May and KK denying us young kids in the draft and all 3 are not playing. Meanwhile Jesse, while not dominating, is at least playing.

Before some of you jump on me, I said we were unlucky our 3 aren't playing because of injury.

    He might be better if he can get a game or 2 in...  prior to the Eagles match.

    2 matches prior,  is the Hawks match.

    He is very injury prone. Can't keep on list if he can't manage 2 get on the park we aren't good enough 2 afford such a luxury. Fingers crossed he plays towards middle of the season or else the trade that didn't happen would've been better 4 us in hindsight.

    And, of course, Dean Kent who could barely get on the park for us in his last 2 or 3 years is fit and saddling up against us this afternoon.

    Yes our injury management is Consistently Ridiculous And Perennial.  

    ie. CRAP

    It also exposes our selection rationale as shaky. The lad (Smith) was not 'allowed' to play on - he was forced to play on as there was no-one else to fill the gap had he been more sensibly managed and withdrawn from the game. Meanwhile, OMac stayed on the ground doing nothing once again as an automatic selection, and I am sure that there were firing young guns on the listings of the Selection Table capable of filling the gaps on the bench; for example, that crucial mismanagement left by the badly injured Smith, and the less than effective OMac at all costs mentality. Who is holding whom to ransom?

    Never fear!  Rest assured he will fire up and play a blinder today.  All our ex-players seem to find an extra gear when they come up against us!!

    Whats with the 4-5 week? Is it a slightly more optimistic version of the dreaded '4-6 week' which results in 2 - 3 games peppered in by end of season, or is it something entirely new that we have not before experienced?

    I have barracked for MFC for the very reasons that make us different to the rest of the rabble. Perhaps we are the only Club really looking after our players.  Are any rugby players living meaningful lives after 50 years at all? I think not.

    AVB is cooked. Maybe we should have let Sydney take him and got a reasonable pick in return.

    I think the 4-6 basically means they are still sore and they are hoping the soreness disappears in the next 2 or so weeks, and then they need a month of training to build up heir fitness base again to be match fit.

    It’s the only reasonable conclusion I could come up with.

    Funny you should say that.  Jesse is looking a lot leaner and fitter.  Maybe our fitness and rehab regime isn't all it is cracked up to be. 

    Certainly their is enough anecdotal evidence saying we play injured players or let them stay on the park when injured.  Then the initial injury gets worse.  The latest example being Jetta playing all 4 qtrs when he could barely walk.  Now out for 10-12.  Should have been benched.

    What’s the difference between TBA and indefinite?

    Are we certain KK has concussion like symptoms? Some rumours doing the rounds it’s the neck issue giving him trouble again.

    Just had a look back through the weekly injury reports. 

    Stephen May 

    Round 4: 2 - 3 weeks

    Round 5: 2 - 4 weeks

    Round 6: 4 weeks

    Now I understand the human body is unbelievably complicated, but how does a players recovery go so dramatically  backwards when he is supposedly benefiting from being in an elite sporting environment.

    I guess the alternative question is why put an estimated return date on players when the club clearly has no real idea.

    Re-injury. Horrible bloody luck

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
