    Eye injuries heal very quickly with the right medication ? and rest. 
    i hope he can be back at the Club helping the Backline at Training and Matchdays soon. 
    this will test our depth, but that can be a good thing. 
    Tomlinson was magnificent yesterday. 
    played Mayzies’s role perfectly

    Can live with that.  Thanks to the emergence of Luke Jackson we have the luxury of sending Gawn into the backline for periods to mark everything which should see us in good stead while May is out.

    well actually the call for the injury is not a month but up to a month so hopefully that translates into only 2 or 3 weeks .

    Can't see him getting up in 2, we play norf in 3 which I'm not sure they will risk him unless he is 100 ready to go. My guess is 4.

    Ouch.  Won't be showing that to the loved one or any and all future children will be barred from playing.

    This is a big test for the team and I am glad we managed so well without him in the second half against Geelong. Lever was visibly fired up with the urgency of getting things organised and demanding no silly slips.

    It is also things like this that make getting that good early start (Four from four! Always fun to say!) so important.

    Huge relief that, ugly as it is, it is only expected to be a short period out.

    Hibberd in would be my choice because he has maturity, the good kick, and the intercept awareness to best fit our overall plan.

    If there is no bone damage he won’t be out for long, as long as his sight is fine!

    I'd give Petty first go, but I also hope they use this as a chance to move Majak down to CHB at Casey given we've got the forwards back.

    He played his best footy in that role and I reckon he could be a wildcard at some stage of the season

    I hope his natural sleeping position isn’t on his right hand side, that’d be bloody uncomfortable.

    In the preseason, I didn’t know how we would kick a goal without BBB and the Weid. I’m more comfortable now we can cover for Maysie out of the backline for 4 weeks, in part because our midfield/defensive forward pressure is so good and in part that we’re a better team than I gave us credit for.

    We looked very organized yesterday after he left the field - no doubt due to Lever's influence.  They are an experienced unit - Jetta, Tomlinson, Salem, Lever, Hunt. Rivers is the only real rookie.  I think they pick for the opponent.  Could probably get away with Hibberd in the short term who can play bigger than he is, and is also mobile enough for the middle sized forwards that Hawthorn and Richmond both have. I'm not opposed to seeing Petty get a go either.

    Put the feet up for a few rounds Maysie.

    Reset yourself, come back strong, get that All Australian reward, and lead our backline to September. 

    Here's to a quick recovery.

    Feel the same about Daw. Just feel he’s going to have some important role to play at some stage. I know you can’t pick and choose full backs for different opposition, but against Lynch or McKay ie the monster forwards,  he’d be my go to over Petty.

    The article says he has a fractured eye socket - which involves bone damage (fracture)!

    i wonder how quickly eye socket fractures heal

    do they need surgery or is it just a question of rest and heal itself naturally?

    I hope your right. But AA defenders don't grow on trees.

    A team positive about yesterday was the way the defence transitioned withour May, no panicking with Tomlinson straight back to Hawkins and the courageous filling in the hole role Brayshaw played with such maturity.

    Never mind Lever's superb intercepts and leadership.

    Another good sign from the coaching team and players to cover the threat.

    Seems odd they would say he had an eye socket fracture but only up to a month out.

    Must be 4 atleast. Looks like he walked into the path of a Mack truck.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
