And the pain of watching finals and then the long summer. At least there won't be any of that evil sweet tasting bathwater on offer.

    T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

    and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

    The rest of the year was supposed to be a trial and acclimatisation for all our youth and second-line players. The FD are still nuts.

     

    I tipped Freo at around 4.39pm, well before the injury update. I might put some cash on them now as well.

    Petty ahead of Oscar..

    Quiet a statement there.

    Not really - not only is he not even named in the VFL this week, Oscar hasn't played since he was dropped, having missed the last Casey match as well. 4-6 week case of mystery injury syndrome?

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

    On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

    And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

     

    Hogan last year, back within a couple of weeks.

    Also why would Omac come in for an intercept player like Lever? May yes, but not Lever. Petty for Lever makes more sense.

    As statements go it's a pretty limp one.

    Tonight's outs make stuff all difference. Freo was winning yesterday and is still winning tonight.

    Didn’t we draft a big weapon from , was it North, to park up at Ff and chop out max ?

    hows he tracking? Anyone got some dead horse 

    • Haha 1

    Not sure Petty is needed.

    May can take Hogan.

    Frost can take Cox.

    Hore can also help out in the key defenders department.

    The rest of their forward line are full of dangerous smalls such as Walters and Matera.

    Hoping the Petty selection isn’t a waste of time.


    The Petty selection is one in maximising development. Season’s over, may as well give it to young player’s who show potential, as opposed to bringing in duds and geriatrics.

    I hear he had a promising pre-season and is looking ripe for debut in the JLT series in 2020

    it will come and

    why wouldn't we bring in a player lacking mobility against a  side who loves to create run and carry opportunities from their back half

    Yes quite.  Oscar has not convinced too many that he has the goods to be a consistent KPD.  

    His strengths include a good defensive punch and being a very tidy kick.  However his game day handballing skills, body strength and ground speed will keep him at Casey.

    You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    Not sure why you're so mad mate? I'm not stating things as fact just putting forward a discussion point about the injuries.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
