UNFORTUNATELY

Fair enough opinion - but I did have a chuckle imagining someone yelling this, especially the "UNFORTUNATELY"

    Too much hysteria about investing in talented injured players. 2/3rds of the list actually play - about 30-32/44. That's 12-14 who don't play.

    If one of AVB, Bennell, KK or Smith make it then it's worth the risk IMO.

    I've asked before but don't think I've had a reply. Has KK trained at all this year? If not, and he has no prospect of playing, surely we should re ruin another player?

    I know we all love him as a bloke and the attitude he brings on field, but giving someone 3 years because you think you can get 1 year out of them seems pretty poor management to me.

    Clutching at straws.  I clearly said that offering 3 years allowed for him to give us 2 years of onfield return.

    This year is the 2nd of his extension.  Until last week, he was on track to deliver that, but went down with a contact injury.

    Be nice to know what hes actually done to his foot this time

    Exactly. Is it a new, unrelated injury or an extension of the original that's hampered him long term?

    AVB is a hard, tough big bodied boy and I love the way he goes about his footy but this could be a silver lining for someone else to fill his shoes who adds something different to the side.

    I just saw that - AFL website. The MFC website is a sad, unfunny joke.

    Lets hope the report is accurate and it is short term. I am firmly in the camp of those who think he is a terrific player. His combination of steadiness and hardness is fantastic.

    Please take the AFLW news to a different place. Intermingling with the AFL on the MFC website is annoying.

    Not necessary and irrelevant to AVB's current foot injury

    what was true about avb in your post

    • AVB accidently kicked an opponent's leg when taking a kick early in the game...
    • he continued on but was limping.
    • It was the sort of accident that could happen to any player. 
    • I understand the concerns!

    you have never been the same room as the truth,your  post is all just your opinion and has no factual bearing on his injury

    Not at all relevant. The quote was in regards to lack of information about injuries, a legitimate criticism.

    Not the completely legitimate decision to host news relating to one of the club's teams on the club's website.

    Oh, I agree with you. I think the lack of info coming out of the club sucks, especially regarding injuries.

    I was just responding to someone insinuating the website was a sad, unfunny joke due to the presence of the AFLW news.

    Missing the point mate.

    Signed vB for 3 years. Ditched Kent who simply wanted more than 1 year.

    It's at best, inconsistent.

    I'm not saying Kent is a gun, I'm talking about the contract decisions based on both players outputs.

     

    Kent was a party boy. Other reasons came into play.

    Vandenbergs foot probably would of been at a high risk of exploding on the hard ground at optus oval anyway in R1. rest him up, he might come in handy as a battering ram later in the season.

    If so he wasn't alone,  KLV.   There have been many in recent and not so recent memory.   And most, at least recently, were traded away.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
