A real curse of the first rounders:

2010 - Lucus Cook - injured early but could never put on weight and was to be frank very ordinary

2011 - traded for Mitch Clark, had some good games then had 'issues'

2012 - Toumpas - nothing to say

2013 - Tyson and Salem - Tyson was very good in his first 2 years then faded and traded, Salem had Thyroid issues but has come good but it looked a little iffy for a while.

2014 - Tracca and Brayshaw - 1 ACL and the other with serious concussion issues, has now passed for both and they are establishing good careers.

2015 - Oliver and Weid - Oliver is the only one who hasn't had any issues (touch wood!!!), Weid had known hip issues then has been slow to develop

2016 - no first due to having 2 in 2015 (although our first pick that year Hannan is out with on-going knee issues)

2017 - Trade for Lever - Lever the does his ACL

2018 - Trade for May & KK - limited so far.

So of the 11 first rounders we've had or traded for since 2010, only 1 (Oliver) has got a pass mark from the beginning of their time with us, Salem, Brayshaw and Trac have come good, while Lever and May/KK still have time.

    Actually I think we bought the batteries for Salem.

    Didn't he have a thyroid problem the first couple of years and missed a lot of footy?

    I was wrong on Salem - we did get to play with him and then he went haywire.

    I was thinking of those players that have specifically gone down for a year before or at the start of first season with us. Frost was another. And we've already had two more this year in Nietschke and Walker - although the latter is like the present you get from your eccentric aunt and only get around to once you're bored of the other toys.

    Pretty common for kids to get injuries adjusting to afl. Danger, Cotchin etc all had slow starts

    Great post. Could also go to 2007-2009 as shockers as well. Remember Morton, Watts, Gysberts, Scully and Trengove.  Poor.

    Preuss- 1 week

    Tim Smith - 1 week

    Viney - 2 weeks 

    May- 3-4 weeks

    Hannan 4-5 weeks

    Maynard 4-5 weeks

    Jkh 4-5 weeks

    Lever 4 weeks

    Joel Smith 6-8 games 

    Jetta 10–12 weeks 

    Kk indefinite

    Vandenberg indefinite

    Nietschke season

    Walker season 

    14 players out injured. 8 out of my best 22. Unbelievable.  Ridiculous.  It was perhaps forecast given prior years like 2000 where we were built up as premiership contenders. 

    Footnote. Hawks have 3 players out of their best 22. Birchall, Frawley, Mitchell.  Who’s their fitness coach?

    Fair enough question. Who's their Good Luck Coach?

    On Game Day this morning, Jakey Lever said he'll be back in two weeks - v Crows

    Looking at the footage of his USA rehab, it was very, very testing indeed

    Also, May is now running strongly and will join the main group in a week

    The win yesterday was great for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being that we won with such significant injuries.  I have reduced the injury list by a week as this was pre-round 7

    To have 9 of our top end talent back by round 11 will give the team a huge boost and hopefully help with a huge second half of the season.

    I'm not convinced he'll be OK,  but I feel certain he will return soon.

    Goody said,  or was it mr Misson,  that he will need to be monitored in future,  and most likely his loads managed, looking forward.

    Yesterday’s win was ground out but it highlighted we are down 6-7 key players.  Need injury list reduced over the next few weeks.  Love to see Lever, Hannan, May, Joel Smith all available to line up after the bye round. 

    Still doubtful we’ll see AVB back.

    -At premium members function yesterday the Viney's were guest speakers. Jack referred to Todd as dad, then as the old man and finally started calling him Todd which was funny. 

    Jack was questioned about whether he saw Stack and admitted he did and was happy to take him on. Post-collision was spent crouched on the ground assessing the damage. Todd stated that both May and Lever are ahead of schedule and he expects them back very soon. Jack is hoping to return next week as is Preuss.

    Will be interesting to see who makes way as key players come back from injury, I'm thinking:

     - Kielty for Preuss

     - Oscar Mac for May

     - Lewis for Lever

     - Fritch for J Smith

     - Lochart for Viney

     - Stretch for Hannan

     - ANB for AVB

    Kielty might get another run v GC this week with Preuss in the VFL.

    Lewis could also stay in to free up Salem into the midfield/wing, but reckon he will make way for Lever unless Fritch makes way.

    I certainly hope HE comes back

    makes opposition defenders less sure, if we can change that by 20% it will give us much more scoring chances.  

    isn’t it good to win !!

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
