I just took a call from T-Mac and asked him about the blood clot rumour. He said Oscar even rang him to ask if he was okay.

Apparently there was a young Casey fella in the B game that looked a bit like him who got taken to hospital with a blood clot after the game. Someone saw him at the hospital and confused him for T-Mac. 

Classic case of Chinese Whispers.

The young fella was Corey Ellison (#10) who was sporting a rude mullet. About the only similarities he and TMac have is height.

    No wonder Tommy didn't get a contract with another AFL Club during Trade period.

    was fighting leg artery issues oversized mullet and trying to diet all in about 2 months.  That's a lot of baggage !!!

    Great  to see the real Tom Back and with some agility and marking prowess last Friday. Looking for gradual improvement whete he impacts the scoreboard and is a focal point in attack.

    Kozzy is very talented but like all young players is no guarantee. He was very skittish last year particularly in front of goal but that’s not unusual for a first year player. With proper coaching and maturity no reason to think he won’t become more composed and start kicking those goals.

    Not sure why the club is talking about him potentially playing round 1. Even if he has been training while away I can’t see how he is up to speed. Why take the chance? I’d prefer he is fully fit as playing half cooked risks damaging his confidence unnecessarily. Chandler looked decent in the praccy so why not let him play early. I think he has earned the right. We don’t need to be rushing kozzy back.

    Chandler was so effective in the praccy match against Richmond - when he had the opportunity to go for it, hard - that it could be said his contributions added together turned our game up a notch; the Tigers, being the Tigers, were held across the game, beaten when it mattered and dumfounded by Chandler's capacities in a practice match. Chandler in for round one, for mine.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
