Sounds like Hannan and JFK (for anyone that cares) are progressing well and should be back by mid season at latest.

Jacquie will be surprised.

    Harold Holt is Vladimir Putin. No one has ever seen them both in the same room!

    No, the thoughts and languishing hopes of long-term MFC supporters and members need to be heard, heeded and appropriately responded to; and if Goodwin and Pert (who both in my eyes have very little entitlement to the 'throne'  of credibility and its proximity to a protecting God as you suggest bing 181, and/or its status-only insulation) they must ultimately be seen as responsible for the amelioration of our current situation in Team management and/or its productive controls and outcomes, These two must be the drivers of both the present and the immediate future, and have unsuccessfully positioned themselves to be accountable.

    I think he was on 3AW pre game last night can’t find link or what he said?

    How about Tom Browne's "article": https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/toms-take-another-setback-adds-to-demons-800000-steven-may-debacle-c-77542

    He says Goodwin, in his presser last night, confirmed what Tom said on Monday about May's injury setback.

    Except, of course, Tom said on Easter Monday that May's not going to be back until July. Which is not what Goodwin said (Goodwin said 4-5 weeks from now, which puts us at late-May/early-June), nor is what the club said this week.

    So he takes what he can get from Goodwin and tries to pat himself on the back. A word starting with f and ending with log comes to mind.

    Meanwhile there are three different spellings of Weideman's surname in the one article.

    Been reported on the Channel 7 pre-game today that May has had a major set back with his groin injury and will most likely not be back till July.

    Goodwin said in presser he’s moving fine but won’t be back for 4-5 coz he needs to do some work, prob on fitness

    Talk about severe over analysing. Bordering on indecipherable.

    What's that got to do with our gameplan, fitness, kicking or marking?

    I wonder if he's doing some of that Hot Yoga stretching ?

    Might be beneficial for him, looking at him.  I Wouldn't be surprised if he's a little muscle bound ?

    And I couldn't find any ref to ANB, TMac and Hibberd. 

    Not wishing to correct you directly - just to have the discussion on interrupted preseason and current performance in the right context as surgeries are being quoted as excuses for players and the team (not by yourself).

    The TMac injury is IMO common knowledge and don't know why it was missed. If you're less lazy than me you can trawl back through preseason training reports for the other two where they both spent a chunk of time in the rehab group. ANB's was brief but I recall Hibberd being longer and before Christmas. Neither had surgery AFAIK.

    Jack Reiwoldt out for 6-8 weeks but luckily he snuck in one game against us. 

    The good luck of the Dees continues.

    Amazing how the club can accurately assess it as an 11 week-er. Guess they can’t bring themselves to just write ‘season’. Too embarrassing.

    Luck is a word worth using in regards to May's injury, but so is diabolical. 

    What a massive fail he'll be in 2019. Let's hope he pays us back with interest in 2020.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
