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

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
