The injuries have started.

Adam Tomlinson had a great run over at the GWS Giants but as soon as he lobs in at the MFC, this happens -

Tomlinson and Spargo to have a delayed start

Fingers crossed that we get a few good breaks this year and this thread isn’t as long and depressing as the one we had last year.

    He has barely missed a game for the Giants. Comes to the Dees. Injured before he even starts. We sure know how to pick them. We are [censored] cursed.

    Come on MFCSS member, it only a calf strain and he still has 2 weeks before he is required to start training.

    Old man calf injury. Thankfully we didn’t give him a wildly long and expensive contract...

    Jesus not a 2 week delay due to minor injuries. The world is ending!

    That is the sort of pre season interruption  i can deal with.

    Mind you I'm a bit concerned with how specific the information is about the timing of their expected return.

    Remember he stopped playing 4 weeks after our chaps.  Actually our boys stopped at round 1.

    Tomlinson will already be one of the fittest at the Club so a couple of weeks off legs at this time of the year will matter little.

    Yes president of the MFCSS, he actually ripped his calf off the bone, will be out for 12 months LOL, where is the  excuse or the lie or even where is the meat in this story.

    Do you realise that many of my posts in the off season are satire. I'm feeling rather bullish about where our club is, including during the season last year.

    Burgess said tonight at the forum that he felt a twinge after driving melb to sydney and back . All good and is commencing running tomorrow

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
