I'll be happy if he plays a preseason game footy - he will need a hit out and he is critical part of our back 6 (the most most critical?) so needs some match team with Omac and co to build synergy and 'connection'.

I'll be very unhappy if in that game he shirt fronts a roos players and gets suspended 

Unfortunately he's just as likely to finish out the game with a bag of ice glad wrapped to his hammy.

    That suspension he got last year was an absolute joke.  It was worth a small fine, at best.

    Be that as it may (pardon the pun) it was unnecessary and stupid to even risk a suspension. Save the tough guys stuff for games played for premiership points

    True.  I won't argue that.  But it was still a silly decision on the tribunal's part.

    He had lots of form Wiseblood.

    I doubt he is the sharpest tool in the shed.

    You might be right rjay.  But that's life.  I don't expect the club to always tell the 'whole' truth.  

    Maybe they believed it wasn't too bad and it's taking a little longer?  That happens from time to time.

    Either way, May has done the bulk of the pre-season and should therefore be in pretty good nick regardless.  Here's hoping he can be right for Round 1.

    I spoke to May at training (queue Dazzle telling me I'm a fanboy) and had quite a chat.  It was a cyst that was giving him a little trouble, nothing major.  My understanding is it got infected and they are dealing with that.  I can't imagine taking a cyst out would cause any long term damage.  But he's hardly done "the bulk of the preseason".  He did the block before Christmas and has done the week in Queensland but other than that he's not been in training.  It's a shame because he's lacked the chance to work with the other backs in match sims. 

    I'm going with Chell on this.  I reckon he'll play the second match and will play game one.  Here's hoping anyway.

    Maybe (pardon another pun) but given the elbows that Ablett was throwing around and getting away with during the season proper I think we can all agree that the tribunal is inconsistent and would appear biased towards certain players.

    Im not so sure about this. 

    May was standing still, the Berry ran straight towards him, and May took 1-2 small steps and braced. Berry didn't look where he was running or prepare for contact, which was ridiculous because he handballed because he knew May was there and then kept running to potentially recieve the 1-2 handball. Did he expect May to let him walk past? He has to be responsible for being aware of players within his immediate area. 

    If May didn't bump, the Brisbane player would have ran into him. His only other option was to step out of the way,  which is ridiculous. 

    Here are multiple angles:

    Have you meet him OD or is this just another cheap shot which is something for which you certainly have "form".

    Cheers Bob.  My 'bulk of the pre-season' comment was based on the fact that, compared to last season, he had seemingly done everything asked of him up until the injury, which I feel would still leave him in a good spot leading up to the season.  You guys would know more than me on that, but compared the pre-season he had last year, he looks to be in a better position to be ready for the year ahead.

    He looks in great shape and his "match sim" form was terrific before Christmas.  He also did a lot of running in rehab prior to Queensland so here's hoping.

    Very promising, and terrific news if your source is on the money. Though I’ll be happier if they just hold him off till the actual footy starts. 

    “We expect Angus Brayshaw to be available next week following his elbow injury and both Steven May and Max Gawn are to be considered for our second Marsh Series game against Hawthorn in two weeks.”

    There you go

    Well your info is certainly seemingly more credible than mach5’s. Is this the same source that told you months in advance that Harley was keen to play for us?

    Leon can speak for himself of course, but just from the perspective of someone impartial; I've found him to be a very very credible poster who puts up spot on information.

    Petty (groin?), possibly Wagner the only ones who might be longer-term concerns?

    The injury issues we have are all down to one thing and one thing only - training.

    Blind Freddy can see what the problem is here - if they didn't train they wouldn't get injured, so stop all the training sessions.

    Are you serious 64?

    In sport athletes have to train and prepare!

    What  else Do you want Pete season to be?

    sitting around the centre circle playing poker or maybe two up?

    Mach 5 is like Poita and a couple of others on this site.

    They criticise most Club decisions And are negative By and large.

    Only offerings are over the top generalisations, and comments not backed up via any source or detail.

    Basically all fake news and unsubstantiated opinion!!!

    They are MFCSS paid members, they are the sort who are always negative, and might not be demon fans.

    so if the recoveries for Gus, May and Gawn come to fruition, we could have zero best 22 players injured by round 1.  and the majority of the squad having done a good preseason.

    oh my.  No excuse Demons

    Anyone got an idea about the need for coyness?

    “The Demons were coy pre-game about Fritsch's late withdrawal, saying he was out with an illness, but Goodwin set the record straight.
    "He (Fritsch) had a little infection in his knee, he's been on the antibiotics so if that's a sickness then that's a sickness," he said.  

    It just seems dumb. If he has a knee infection why wouldn’t you say he has a knee infection? Just seems pointless

    I've added Jones to the list with his Shin Corkie, Bayley Fritsch with his Knee Infection and Joel Smith goes back on the list after coming off it when named in the team but then not playing even though a spot opened up with Fritsch's omission. Wagner and Jordon who played the day before were suited up on the bench as emergencies so Smith goes back on the list until he is available to play.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
