    Hibberd is finished too slow and fumbly we need to include pace into lineup this week maybe Bedford??

    Hibberd has enough pace.

    Bedford is a forward. We're not about to start experimenting by throwing a small forward into our backline.

    Hibberd's been part of our backline for most of the season. He can, and will, slot into Hunt's role fine. He won't be as good but he'll be good enough and better than any other option.

    judging by alan richardson's video i would guess plugger mac is less rather than more likely

    What did he say?

    Really hoping T Mac’s injury isn’t ongoing and he can be right for the Geelong game.

    I wonder if he’s had an issue since the bye? His  form has been nowhere near as good as the first 12 weeks, aside from the Port game.

    Just saw a video clip -- "Training | Adam Tomlinson running"-- on YouTube, it was his 1st training back from the injury. He looked great. Welcome back Adam, wish you have a bright future!

    With the scrapping of the bye I would say hunt is done for the year. 

    I know it’s even for all but that would be really unfortunate for Hunt as this is precisely what the pre-finals bye is there for. I’m surprised the coach of the retirement home down the highway isn’t kicking up a stink about the idea though. They’d be desperate to get their players some time off (so they can visit their grandkids as well). 

    As for Tommy if there is the slightest doubt than put him on ice and bring in Weid. I remember Sam came in at the end of 2018 and put in a hell of a last 4-5 weeks. Give him a crack against Adelaide so Tom can be cherry ripe for Geelong.

    What exactly did Hunt do to his ankle?

  • Quote

    Jayden Hunt has just posted on his SM that his surgery went well and he’s hoping to play finals.

    I may be letting the cat out of the bag, but I can tell you that Jayden has damaged his syndesmosis ligament, typically a 6-8 week recovery period.

    Both Noah Balta and Nathan Broad have missed 6 weeks with the same injury.

    Slight chance Jayden will return this season.

    Thanks @M_9, the Injury Report stated he'd miss about 4-5 week, here's hoping he heals well/quick.

    Super disappointing and his pace will be really hard to replace. I hope he can make it back for prelims if we make it that far. 

    I would say Hibbo is the natural replacement there and Bowey can play a more attacking role with Hibbo defending. You lose pace with Bowey but you gain better ball use. 

    Let’s hope Salem’s groins hold up n

     Bowey is not slow He could  run as far as Hunty dodging and weaving AND PASS the ball to a forward or kick straight!!!

    Viney back next week (Sparrow out) 

    May back next week (Smith out) 

    Tom McDonald back next week (for ?!!??!!??)

    Hunt missing for next 3-4 weeks.  Doubtful to play again this year.

    Obviously we have to get there first but jeez I feel for Hunt, he’s really in a race against time (and his body) to get to fitness. He’s had a really solid season and it would be gutting to see him miss playing finals (possibly a GF). The question also comes if he has no lead in games would he come straight into the team for the big dance?

    If Port win on Friday no way should we risk TMac, play Weid and see if he can recall his 2018 finals form vs the Cats.

    Jayden Hunt is progressing far quicker than anticipated and will commence running tomorrow.

    Nothing much to report on the injury front except for the fact that Jayden Hunt is advancing well with his rehab and looks likely to be back sooner rather than later.

    Also, it’s interesting that Marty Hore is now on the list of the players who are out for the rest of the season. There’s a veiled hint from Darren Burgess in there that the VFL season is done and dusted if there’s no use in continuing with his season.

    AFL website shows Hunt out for 1-2 weeks.

    However,

    "The Demons think Hunt is an outside chance of returning for this weekend's qualifying final against the Lions, having originally been tipped to miss a month with an ankle injury. He is the club's only concern heading into September". - Riley Beveridge

    If not this game then certainly the next, especially if we win this week and go thru to the Prelim. 

    He must have worked awfully hard to get back in such a short time.

    Amazing effort from Jayden, wouldn’t be risking him week one but give him some more time to get right and he could be really important to us. Smith would probably be the one to make way of the current group, Bowey came in for him but has put a foot wrong.

    At finals time, some players get lucky and some get unlucky. We see the accidental heroes and the  Bob Murphys. The club would be mad to play Jayden this week. There's 57 years of tears and angst at stake.

    I don’t get it. Can someone please explain this?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
