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.

I am assuming you know that because you asked him?

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????

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
