Absolutely makes sense.  He is spent. Can barely raise a trot.  I reckon he's carrying an injury too.

So Mason Cox in the Ruck then????

Yeah he’s been poor recently and just laboring around the ground with minimal impact most weeks. Good time to manage him knowing no Gawn to compete against.

I hope he plays Pendlebury because he will tear his quad again, worst injury to overcome just ask Jonesy.

Took him 6-8 weeks to recover.

    Collingwood forum thinks they may lose Brayden Sier to a knee injury.  No idea if hes any good but he has played the last 3 games for them.

    Ffs. Can’t Pendlebury have a few more days off 

    It could be arranged after the first bounce during the game - creating one man missing on the Filth bench. Have a quiet word to AVB or even May or perhaps, Viney. ?

    Sounds like Pendles will play this weekend.

    Just our luck of course.

    Don't be so sure. Have a Pies mate who is usually on the pulse and he said the Pendles injury is pretty bad.

    I reckon AVB might say G'day to him a few times in the first Q (if he plays)

    They have a huge number of injuries and sore players.

    Its a great chance to beat them. If we don't them frankly we're cooked anyway

    Being a traditional Saturday fixture, will teams be announced today? Or has that all gone out the window this season? I find it hard to keep up.

    AFL Fantasy podcast said all teams will be announced the night before the match at 6:20pm for the rest of the season.

    He's going to be underdone even if he does get up

    Buckley said earlier in the week that he was a chance to play, but hoped he would be right for the following week.

    To me that sounds like he is not playing.

    Roughead should be out after the head knock.  

    Lynden Dunn could play 2 games in 4 days, after 2 years out injured.


    If Dunny plays whoever is on him needs to run him all over the field, unless looks are deceiving in his current condition it looks like he'd blow up in 10 mins

    Very disappointing, he's been very good for us. His ground level stuff is amazing for a big man. Hope he's just nicked it.

    [censored] news if true. Really buggers up our structure and forces TMac to be number 1 ruckman. Unless they're willing to bring Pruess in ofcourse...

    Disaster. There goes the forwardline structure and the ability to pinch hit in the ruck.

    The flow on effects are massive. Now if Tom rucks, we'll be down to 1 KPF, which we know doesn't work.

    Is Preuss ready/fit enough? He has to come in now and unfortunately Tom will have to take KPF spot. Already a far weaker team.

    Hoping Tom Browne is wrong. Also hoping it's a short term hammy.


    We have worked LJ pretty hard with 3 games in 2.5 weeks games with two lots of 4 day breaks so not really  a surprise. 

    I suspect he won't be the last.

    The policy of not resting players is catching up with us.

    Could we potentially bring OMac back in, play Tomlinson as main ruck, TMac to ruck in forward half and relieve?

    Preuss has apparently only played 1 scratch match so not sure on match fitness.

    on top of that preuss has always struggled to play out 4 qtrs even when fit (though shorter game would suit him)

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
