Rotten luck for the lad.  Neither he nor we will ever know 'what might have been'.  Hope he has a 'big time' change of luck!

    Ouch, poor guy. This one might be a costly one for the club/insurers as well. Rotten luck for all involved. We'll never know if he could play at all but he looked like he had a bit of something at trainings.

    Such a terrible, life changing injury, especially for a sportsman. I hope he is successful finding alternatives that will sustain him.

    The MFC seems to have perpetual access to a konga line of NQR players that come onto the list, play from zero up to about 30 to 50 games or so, have zero to minor/marginal impact and then disappear into the nether nether usually due to some obscure injury or head knocks.  Except of course for those that come back to sue!

    A few recent examples....

    Harry O, Maynard, Bull Smith, Terlich, Michie, Filopovich, Johnstone, Bail, Fitzpatrick, Ben Ken, Riley, Hulett, Toumpas, Barry, Byrnes, Clarke, Clisby, Nicholson, Tapscott, Gillies, Georgiou, Rodan, Bennell, Cook, Sheahan, Williams, Lawrence, Couch, Taggert, Blease, Tynan, Strauss and Sellar etc etc.

    Walker another addition to that list with pretty much zero impact before being smitten by another obscure injury.

    KK possibly another addition in 2020.

    He was a category B player, so always a longshot. Every club has a long list of players that never made the grade.

    I have a sneaking suspicion we would be near or at the top of the "recruiting fails" tree if a study was ever done on it over the last three to four decades Mach.

    Entirely depends on what KPIs you’re working with, but yeah, probably correct.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
