If it goes like it seems it will, how much pressure will Buckley be under, especially now his big brother protector has moved on?

The tackle wasn't out of the ordinary (wasn't paid as late) and Dursma's leg locks/hyper-extends as he lands causing him to buckle unpredictably. Nothing in it.

 

So you're saying the umpires never miss things?  The tackle was clearly late.  See what the medical report has to say, but if he's ended a kid's season through a late tackle then he shouldn't be playing the next week.  It shouldn't just be for concussions.

Wow pressure on buckley now and he hasn't got his mate Ed there backing him up. Wonder how Ed enjoyed that tonight. 

I just can't believe they knocked the pies off by 5 goals, I mean the giants are so injury depleted and they are important players to.

They booted the wrong players out

Also saw a bit of Leicester v Newcastle on a split screen of the last quarter of GCS v CAR. Turned the sound down - was awesome...

Fair point about the umpires but after watching it about 10 times, I don't think the tackle is the major influence on the injury. His knee hyper-extends just before the follow-through of the tackle.

I'd be very disappointed if a player in a red and blue jumper - in the same situation - didn't lay the tackle.

Hate to say it ... but Darcy Moore is so good.

Absolutely. He's one of the best players in the game right now.

A chance to knock those puddy cats outta the eight tomorrow and put a decent gap between the top three and the rest.  Let's go Demons!

Here's a weird piece of trivia;

The last time both Melbourne and Carlton were both in the top eight at the end of a round was round 14, 2011.

The last time Melbourne, Carlton and Richmond were all in the top eight at the end of a round was round 7, 2001.

Tomorrow is now desperately needed as a win (like not life threatening or season ended or anytfing), will really seperate us as top 3 over a massive competing pack of teams to make the 8.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
