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????

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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?

      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?
