Really like hunt but that helps us bring in pig and bowey has shown he can go alright we just need as little setbacks as possible coming to finals 

Have a settled team and s mash Geelong on the first final

    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.

    56 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
