    Have you already called in sick for the next 2 weeks Jaded.... next week for the panic attacks and emergency department visits for the heart attacks

    The following week for the party at home (or the major depression episode obviously dependent on results)

    Delighted no issue with Spargo.

    Reading through this thread has not been good for the MFCSS.

    I’m just so excited to see us play in a Geand Final.

    I was way more nervous last week.

    I'm always happy that no matter my emotion, there's a 2:25 minutes or less Ramones song that perfectly encapsulates the feeling.

    Spargo would have been covered by Melksham.  Glad his ok.  There’s actually 17 other blokes that would have caused me heart attacks.

    He was helped off the ground by trainers. It remains unclear how severe his injury is and if there was structural damage that could potentially rule him out of the season decider in seven days’ time.

    If Spargo was unable to play next Saturday, it could open up the door for speedster Jayden Hunt to be recalled and play as a forward.

    Alternatively, recent injury substitute James Jordon could be used as a half-forward and Hunt the sub.

    Looks in the clip like Bedford (?) spinning Spargo around in a tackle. Steven May motioning in the near background, looks to me like May's gesturing to settle down with the length of the tackle. Spargo spun around 720deg, brought to ground in the process.

    Cal and Barrett both reported that Melbourne said they think he will train in the next session.

    They missed a trick though. 

    Small forward lock is tackled by another small forward - one who can't get into the team. But might. 

    If a spot for a small forward suddenly became available.

    Coincidence?

    You be the judge.

    If Melksham, Hunt, and Chandler go down in similar fashion in the next couple of training sessions then I would say you’re onto something.

    Scoff all you want but he's an important role-player and one I want fit and playing.
    Certainly didn't look ideal.

    Injury scare a great set-up to sub Spargo off for a fresh player in the last quarter if required.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      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.
