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: 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.
