I'm not surprised Jane. As I posted earlier, given the way he landed, and the mass of the man, I reckoned there was zero possibility of him playing this week . Just hope it's not even worse than anyone's letting on.

Chin up BBO it’s not like we’ve had many Dees players with foot issues or been mismanaged with other injuries...

    My source tells me that Max’s ankle is extremely swollen and his toes are black and blue. I have no idea how he is standing upright let alone be considered fit to play.

    He'd play if they were red and blue.

     

    Slacker.

    So he is fit to play by MFC standards!

    Probably pull out just before the game.

    A very curious question. What is your intent behind asking that? 

    I'm just curious no intent behind it, I follow the club closely and I don't really see what people want.

    so we can get an informed idea who is playing,how injuries are,etc

    As much as we wish for it, clubs are never going to be honest when it comes to injuries, whose out etc. The whole ins & outs of AFL clubs & the AFL in general is a complete different world. No one on the outside has any idea what goes on inside the 18 clubs.

    Because we are members and supporters and therefore the most important stakeholders in the club.

    Never asked why, I asked what is it the club isn't communicating to us ?

    Nah, Redleg!  It's the MFC!  He'll be named in the team, hobble around for the 1st 5 minutes of the game, and then be done for the day...!!

    Goodwin told me at Casey that they will see how Max pulls up tomorrow before making a decision. Based on his body language don’t expect the big guy to play. Even if he does Preuss for Smith is like for like and if anything we’re better with Preuss.  Happy Dunkley is in as we need to see what he can do. Baker was the obvious drop although I think Gus must be very close to being dropped. No Cripps, Mackay and Curnow is the equivalent of no Gawn.  Lever in for Petty next week regardless of how Petty plays


    So given max won't play and Preuss is in who was the other emergency held over for tomorrow. Jones may also be in some doubt

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
