Wondering if our main training session is today as we usually have it 3 days before a match with a light run the day before the game.

Anyone know if training is on today?

    Rightio. 

    Cripps has been playing with a sore back which every club has known about since round 1. Haven't seen anyone target his back. 

    Jack Viney's foot? 

    Not sure your view adds up. 

    It’s as old as the hills, targeting someone’s Achilles heel, if you will. No matter the body part, dirty opposition players will find a way.

    Isn't it usually 2 days prior? Meaning that it will be on tomorrow?

    We don’t know it’s a groin. We actually don’t know anything.

    We also don’t know what Oliver is likely carrying, what Gawn is clearly carrying, how Goodwin’s mental health is, and where Burgo is with his decision for next year.

    You should write the club a strongly worded letter requesting a status update, and be sure to let us know what you learn.

    I could be wrong dd but I always thought it was 3 days prior. Last weeks main session was on the Wednesday.

    Dare I say that the club isn’t keeping the supporters in the dark.

    Instead they aren’t letting every opposition club know what’s wrong with one of our most important players, and therefore how to target him.

    And target him, they will!

    Consider it operational security. Why divulge information the oppo can plan around? It's not hard to understand, surely.

    Don't think he was injured, just ran out of peroxide and refused to go on deck without his highlights.

    Not trying to be funny, asking a serious medical question: what actually goes wrong with a groin? And how does it get fixed?

    Seriously, what do you care?

    There may be 100 reasons why they don't want others to know about a players injury.

    Let them do their job.

    Exactly. We will find out in due course whether or not he's available and if not, how long he's out for. I don't see why it's pressingly urgent for the entire membership to know the gory details of his injury, on a Tuesday afternoon.

    I usually just give it a bit of a rub and it's fine after that

    Targeting a groin would be a new level of low.

    Viney still 2-3 weeks. I think the person who suggested he's had a setback is correct.

    Bad news if true. Our midfield has dropped off big time since he went down injured. Over the past month statistically we’ve gone from a clear top 2 team to a middling team grinding out wins (and a loss) against weak opposition.

    Viney adds defensive pressure, ball winning ability, and a vocal leader to organize around the ground. His absence is being felt more than it’s being spoken about.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
