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????

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
