that's awful news re dusty; he's mostly had a blessed run of lack of any injury throughout his career

was it tom lonergan who lost a kidney after a clash with brad miller?

Newman also suffered a terrible kidney injury.

I reckon Tigers will downplay this. If he has bruising on the Kidney he might miss 4 weeks or more, if he has lacerated it there goes his season!


Yes a St Kilda win would help us and they should given Ports injuries.

Why is everyone getting behind the saints? We're effectively 3 games clear of Port - we'd need to implode for them to take our spot in the top 4 from here.

A qualifying/ prelim final against Port would be a best case scenario for us.

yep want Port to win they are useless and a much preferred opponent on the MCG


I hate it when a player is very clearly down and badly concussed and they keep playing around him. So dangerous. 


Saints v Port ... terrible standard.

Steel is the latter day Lenny Hayes. (Both related to the Get Smart character Simon the Likeable.)

Tom Morris mentioned that dusty has played 260 of a possible 268 AFL games. Thats serious durability

Hope he makes a full recovery. Kidney injuries can be very serious

Richmond did us a favour this week and thankyou. However they will come a cropper against geelong and no longer be relevant for the year. If we finish 3rd does not matter as it will be against bulldogs or that rubbish from geelong. Don't want to play the bears or Port at their home grounds.

Unfortunately given the multiple knee jerk lockdowns  who knows where or even if games will be played.

A very unfortunate injury - how long before Gill comes out with “the kidney is sacrosanct” ?

Knee jerk lockdowns? What we now have in NSW is a direct result of NOT having a knee jerk reaction… I know what I’d prefer. I’d say that rather than being a knee jerk reaction, Vic and WA responses are a result of hard lessons learnt.

Yes he is - and he has lots of company.

Tonight James Brayshaw described the way in which Harris Andrews knocked the ball over the boundary line as being "laconic".

BT, in his infinite wisdom, agreed. "Yes that was laconic". 

Brayshaw is a serial offender - could someone please direct him to dictionary.com. He may well stop embarrassing himself should he learn the meaning of the word.  

Maybe they are far greater wordsmiths than any of us, Hemingway includes, and just thought that he, Andrews, said very little about the spoil - or maybe not  

laconic - Using or marked by the use of few words; terse or concise

As iterated Season Over!

 

Brad Hill's delivery inside 50 today has been appalling. From memory he has wasted 3 kicks, under zero pressure. We got by far the better winger from freo

What on earth has happened to goal kicking in the last month. 

They just mentioned on the commentary that accuracy is at a 150 year low...

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
