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)

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
