OMG then he will miss out on the joys of AFLXCREMENT!

(Tommy's toe is also probably a bit sore)

    He's still getting over Jack Riewoldt's sick burn, so I doubt he would want to show his face anyway.

    Is this a new fresh hamstring injury or the tweak that was reported on Demonland through the training reports prior to Maroochydore?

    Apparently hamstring injuries are now minor ... gotta love the spin the comms team put on our injuries ... "Minor hamstring injury for May"

    I’d rather he be fit to play AFLX and not have gotten injured at training, personally.

    Thank God! May has an injury, so we don't have to worry about him playing AFLX and getting injured!

    Both GC recruits getting soft tissues at around the same time. Just hope he comes good quickly and plays JLT2.

    the Indigenous team is the one AFLX team with some form of purpose so it’s disappointing he didn’t get to play. He’s more of a match fitness guy than a training guy so I didn’t mind him playing in that, less risk than the Pies scratch match anyway

    WE  think the quote should read " Minor hamstring injury, back in May"

    That would then be a back related hamstring

    He probably is, just too smart to be involved in that garbage.  T Mac should follow suit.

    Smokescreen to avoid the dribble that is AFL X, we are smart.

    I don’t think this is the case but I hope you’re right.

     Agree DS

    Despite the seeming joy on this thread it's not the best news.

    It's early but it would be nice to see that injury list dwindle to almost nothing a la the Tigers in 2017.

    Didn’t we suffer injuries attributed to AFLX last year? How did we go with scratch matches? Not sure the verdict is out on which one is riskier yet..

    The only thing to come out of last years game was many fans (myself included) staggered that Tom McDonald played when he was managing a toe injury. Everyone else got through fine. The small field, minimal contact and quick game time is pretty safe. If fully healthy then May could play that instead of a heavy contact practice game.

    My view on Tommy Mc depends on how his toe is. If there's any underlying concern that a firm Marvel stadium wouldn't be good for it then he should pull out.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • 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.
