No, I was going by those in red tops. Hunt, Melksham and Jordon. May mean little of course.

Fair enough. I thought they were the emergencies, make sense they are in red to get involved.

    "Concern at Melbourne training for Charlie Spargo, who appeared to twist his ankle in a tackling drill. Looked in some discomfort. Now being assessed."

    Do yourself a favour and switch off.  Players come on and off the track all time.  I’m sure it’s nothing major.

    Twisted ankle ain't keeping me out of my outback ressies gf. It won't keep Charlie out. Surely precautionary.

    • Training been going for just over an hour.
    • Woowee recons no changes.
    • May and Smith continuing to do 50 metre run-throughs at around 50 percent with a short break in between.

    I keep looking at this wondering why Brian Taylor is so involved in our training.

    Yep. Have played an entire finals series with a sprained ankle. That’s what tape and injections up to your eyeballs are for and when you can’t walk the next day after a GF, you just keep on drinking until you can.

    Max doesn’t need set shot practice. He only kicks when on the run now.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
