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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
