    Hope this is not true but a reminder that you never know whats around the corner.

    All the best laid plans of mice and men can come undone very quickly with injury and bad luck. 

    Even with strong depth you can never replace the genuine star, particularly a dynamo like Mitchell.

    Take care you Demons, may the football gods smile sweetly at you in 2019.

    A quick peruse of the Hawks bigfooty page tells you that they think they have no depth. 

    Their best player down and they’re calling it ‘season over’ already.

    Poor bloke has broken his leg. Report says he will miss the entire season.

    That hurts the Hawks a LOT.

    Hope he comes back well. Great player.

    No one wants to see this happen to any player. We had it with Lever. All of a sudden beating the Hawks has become just a bit easier.

    This brings O'Meara & $ullky to the fore in their 2019 season.

    We can NEVER underestimate the Hawks as a club.  They will fire up for us.

    This is what I'm hinting/alluding to.   Both those stars are hindered.   As are Burgoyne by age, and Roughy by age, as well.

    As much as I dislike Hawthorn, it's still horrible seeing this happen to a player. Hawks are going to struggle mightily without him.

    Seems like an innocuous training drill. 

    To pull or strain a muscle, even injure your knee can always happen, but breaking a leg is strange. Usually caused by a collision or forceful impact. Breaking a bone is not easy to do.

    Seems surprising given the circumstances.

    I wonder if it will affect his leg speed, not that he was tat fast to start with.  I remember Nathan Brown was never the same after his break.  Though I'm not sure how the two compare in severity?

    It will severely dent their chances this year as they transition from their older players to the next group.  Scully will be interesting as I think he was taken on as a longer project and not expected to play a lot this year.

    Does a year seem a long time for a broken leg? I thought they generally came on quicker than that.

    They will miss him. Really bad loss. Hope something like that doesn't happen to us.

    I wish Tom a full recovery, but i shall enjoy watching Whorethorn a man down all year. 

    That jumper has inflicted so much arrogant pain on me over many years....

    Leverage can be a powerful force. The wrong angle and even the slightest of acute pressure can end in many ways.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
