With the shortened time off and the fact the whole list was in WA, I was wondering if anyone had any news regarding off season surgeries that might impact next year?

 

Trent rivers had his tonsils the other day. Expect him to be right for day 1 of preseason 😂

Steven May has that 6cm tear in his hamstring he needs to recuperate from.

Hopefully, he will take it easy and let it fully heal before getting back into full training in the Pre-Season.

 

 

I'm recovering exceedingly well from the damage to my psyche from 57 years of losing


The way we smashed our way through finals, I feel there are few players carrying major injuries.  Given the short break this should put us in a great position to rest the players and get them ready for round 1.  I would be cautious with the kids and the oldies. Rivers/Kozzi/Jackson, give them a big rest.   then May, Gawn etc.  but the majority of the list are in the sweet spot of big hardened bodies but still young

Is that worse than an Oedipus Complex?

 

Given our age demographic, group booking at The Royal Children's?

I'll have to ask my mum on that one


Serious one: Christian Salem's apparent groin issues? (don't know if these are intervention or rest matters)

His form peaked in finals, the byes helped him a ton. Should just be rest I reckon?

I'm guessing he's sticking strictly to the nightclub and alcohol treatment in Perth.

Chunk probably had a vasectomy!

In a rich vein of form it would seem!🤩

To hell with that. Now he has retired, he’s gotta get to work on producing even more potential father/daughters/sons

I expect Clarrie's in the shoulder surgery queue

Does he get them done every off season? 

But really I haven’t seen any of our players post anything on their socials other than enjoying their off season. May is still away playing golf. The WA boys are off doing gym work and enjoying the sunsets. Jacko did mention on the Gus and Gawny podcast that he needs to have wisdom teeth removed so the boy is in for a lot of dental work.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
