hey guys, just a quick question, do we have our 1st round draft pick for next season? I've really enjoyed watching sparrow train this year and miss the feeling of having an early draftee at training sessions :)

Yes. Steven May and Kade Kolodjashnij could also considered an early draft pick.

    Mentioned in today's Age that Neitscke did his ACL last Friday and will miss 12 months.

    Geez that's shocking if true

    Thanks for the reports!

    Not great news about Hannan’s delayed start to the season.  He was excellent for us in the back-end of last year.  Hopefully he can get enough Ks into the legs soon.

    He can watch his EF sealer against the Cats on eternal loop while he is waiting.

    I can still hear and feel the roar of the crowd. One of my favourite moments of my year. Can only imagine what it feels like to be the player in that moment

    Yeah he was there. From the couple of passages of play I saw of him he looked as clean and composed as ever.

    I'm still filthy (as should he) he was overlooked in the prelim, meanwhile Tyson jogged around and picked up a massive 3 kicks and 1 tackle for the game.

    Hopefully he can take his game to another level year this year as he has class written all over him.

    I like to think that TMac is messing with the AFL. Having pulled out of AFLX he's now pretending to have an injury to justify his absence. (At least, that's what I'd like to believe.)

    Exactly.... can't be seen to be 'fully fit ' ;)

    I have actually talked to him about it, he knew Stewart was closing, said the roar from the crowd was like a wave crashing into him

    Was in two minds after second bounce, but decided just to concentrate on kicking the goal

    Knew about his knee issues a couple of weeks ago, but asked me to keep it to myself until after second op, disappointed but hopes the issue is now behind him

    Expect him to go into beastmode this season. 

    Hell, that will be brilliant! He can be such an asset to our team as a player and as The Beast.

    Full article in the little paper (for those who can get access) - https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/melbourne-swingman-tom-mcdonald-the-latest-star-to-withdraw-from-aflx-tournament/news-story/42335073cf0e7799a8e0055728f780dd

    Says the knee op was planned to happen after AFLXit, but they brought it forward. no chance he misses round 1.

    Imagine the outrage if Tommy Mc played AFLX then had an operation after it. What the hell were they thinking? Why was he even training today and not in for surgery right now?

    This is a weird one.

    Cortisone injection, apparently to alleviate some patella tendinitis.

    Hopefully he comes back quickly and in no pain!

    I can't get behind the paywall (and don't really want to) but there's no way a cortisone injection can be described as a knee op.

    He was running on the one spot at the end of the Hawthorn game, his tank was empty after a great first season

    The rest of the team followed suit in the prelim

    He has spent the off season working on his tank, has been the consistent standout during pre season

    Knee op!? I'm not liking the sound of this....

    The Melbourne Facebook page is calling it a "minor knee procedure". Relax.

    The article does not mention a cortisone injection. It only mentions that he will "undergo a very minor knee procedure". He is missing the AFLX because "the Demons have brought it (the procedure) forward so McDonald can feature in the JLT series" and emphatically states. "He is no chance of missing Round 1."

    Calling '@Webber'...I think we need your professional opinion on this.

    When is a minor knee procedure not an op/is an op?????

    What could it be that Tommy is having done????

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
