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?

    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?

    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.

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
