    I think we can officially say that the next 7 days are going to push us all over the edge. This time next week I will undoubtably be having a complete full blown breakdown regardless of the results.

    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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
