How Salem didn’t get a free for tunneling is beyond me. Actually it’s not, because the 3 umpires last night were incompetent and cowards.

It's called blatant cheating Jaded.  See the "Umps hate Melbourne" thread.

Absolutely.  Eagles player made no attempt at the footy.  He took out Salem’s legs and hips.  Landing Salem on his back and head.  

Ump favoured the eagles in the last quarter and it impacted the result.  7-0 free kicks in eagles favour in the 1st twenty minutes in the last qtr.  Cripps THROW to Sheed to kick a goal was absolutely a critical umpire ERROR.

Still amazed at Smith’s groin injury. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone missing a season with a groin injury which is likely in Smith’s case.

Couldn't agree more Nelo, let"s hope at season end the club gets the right people in to prevent such thing ever happening again? 

Players get injured, but for it to drag on like in Smith"s case makes your wonder what the hell the are doing, or more to the what the club is not doing?

Come on Martin. its concussion related. That issue seriously affects and can in some cases really ruin lives.  Stkilda are no better with McCartin. We should never have picked him up thats the error ...not how many weeks his out for. Has to be delisted. I say put him on the long term injury list  in time for the mid season draft...at least we get back an active player on our list.

I suppose if misso had come out after utterly mismanaging him in that JLT game and said, "Jeez its a bad injury...looks like season over" the supporters may have burnt down the club!  Not a good look when memberships are so important. Instead of that we've had the slow drip " nothing to see here" story.

clubs taking 0 chances these days. even one symptom such as night sweats or maybe just some forgetfulness and the club will define it as a concussion symptom.

and sadly probably retired / delisted at the end of the year too...disastrous recruiting

When does Misso give his weekly update? Really interested to see what the time-frame is on May. He was 2-3 weeks after the Hawks game, which means he should theoretically be either available this week or back against the Crows...

There’s a training session from 1pm today according to the website. We might get an update today.

It sure as hell looks that way, we must not be paying our fitness staff very well.

Judging by their record in the last 18 months, we would have to have the worst injury to games missed ratio in the comp.

Officially the longest injury list, at 15, with only a couple of rivals at 13.

We've also already used 34 different players, which is a number typical for the end of a season, not slightly before halfway.

Start by adding Vandenberg, Lever, Smith and Hannan, who are likely inclusions when fit and haven't yet played a senior game this season, and we're up to 38. Let's imagine that Kennedy-Harris and Maynard get at least a dip at the last-chance saloon. That takes us to 40.

Nietschke and Walker (what does 'indefinite' really mean?) are injured for the season, leaving only teenagers Chandler, Bradtke, Bedford and Jordan available for a season-debut.

So, Casey-watchers, of those 4, how many might get an AFL level game?

Throw in the possibility of a mid-season draftee who, if drafted, would be likely to play given the selection would lean towards immediate need. 41 + the four teenager possibilities.

If there's any comfort, Richmond made it to 42 players used in 2016 on their way to just 8 wins and rubbish percentage, before winning the 2017 premiership. So perhaps 'testing the depth' and a chance to examine what you've got is a secret advantage. Hee hee ho ha ugh.

Has anybody actually set eyes on KK?   Is he an illusion??

GC obviously though KK's career was over due to concussion, made no effort to keep him and traded as a steak knife. Too bad the steak is a bit of a dud too.

    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

    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
