Paddy Mcartin's concussion problems stem from a neck problem.

Did some research and it’s quite complicated by the sounds of it. 
Not ‘technically’ a concussion from a brain injury but all the similarities in symptoms.

    Loving hearing AvB training really well, was hoping Hannan would be the same but fingers crossed the fitness team can get him out on the park.

    Also happy to hear some positive reports about Weid. If he gets a clean run at it then this has to be the year things start to click, our forward line was so impotent last year so we need TMac and Weid to find the form from the end of 2018 that contributed to us being so high scoring.

    Also just a quick one, any reason why Melksham was a no show? For me he is one of our most important players.

    His brother Tom had similar problems, I will leave it at that as I don't wish to divulge too much, but one can now play as the other has ongoing issues.

    Not sure if you realise that facts aren't welcome on social networks in this post-truth world. Consider yourself admonished.

    With the ‘explosive pace’ and ‘Dangerfield at the same age’ comparison I think Older Demon was referring to our SA recruit Tom Sparrow

    Agree, you have surgery on a muscle bit of scare tissue and it is just waking everything up.  He will have tight calves and need to manage them.  He is the cream on a pretty good trade and draft period, no essential but a big bonus if he does get through 

    I imagine his lower legs will take quite some time to adjust and strengthen,  now some bits have been removed.  It will change almost everything in his lower legs,  and all tissues will need to re-adjust..

    Maybe it will be next year to see any real improvements.?

    Was hoping Hannan would get a good pre season in, seems not to be the case. 
     

    Fingers crossed he can get back in the main group ASAP. 

    I think Hannan is always going to be a week to week proposition for us now,  with his knee issue.

    OD was referring to Sparrow, not AVB, and I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure it was Bernie Vince who compared him to Dangerfield last year

    That would make a lot more sense!

    The amusing thing at training is the players,  if they are in the opposing team to AVB, trying not to be in his vicinity

    I'd say that's some smart behaviour on their part.

    Yep, definitely Bernie during a preseason fluff interview on SEN.  He was involved with our preseason training and was asked which recruit was standing out. Got me pretty excited about the kid, especially when he was picked so early on in the season.  Hopefully the non-fairy tale first season works in his favour and Sparrow has a great career.

    You can see it this pic.

    Dunkley looks like he's just spotted a white pointer and he's done, meanwhile his teammate (is that Bedford?) is looking on like he's a gonna...

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
