The injury list was our most valuable player in our premiership year and here's hoping that continues next year.

Hopefully ANB's knee concern isn't concerning.

Tomlinson will be a good replacement for Petty if he's not available for the start of the season. Those two are probably fighting for the one spot regardless.

    Speaking of injury list..

    Really disappointing if it's an ACL. He's actually one of my favourite young guns to watch. I rate him higher then his brother.

    I found David King so annoying last year saying that a healthy list is an extra player when you get to finals... but as it turned out he was dead right.  All the other "contenders" except maybe Port were missing key structural players and couldn't handle it.

    Fingers crossed for this year!

    So does this mean Petty just had a bad corkie? Or is Jay Z working off old news

    Petty was on crutches but not in a moon boot and was weight bearing, so hopefully whatever it was it's minor.

    This one is real tragic. Out of contract at season's end too, horrible luck for GC.

    Former Melbourne NGA and Gold Coast’s top draft pick Mac Andrew was involved in the incident and also injured.

    Not one post-season surgery . . . except for actually two. Nice work J. Clark. I see News Corp have set up a journalism academy at the University of Melbourne's business school. Apply today.

    The two post season surgeries were minor tonsils and wisdom teeth removals. Not exactly surgeries that will impact on a player physically. 
    I think that’s fair reporting.

    "Melbourne has a clean bill of health heading into the practice match phase, with only minor dental surgeries for Luke Jackson and Trent Rivers." It's not that hard.

    I would have thought Riv would have been much more concerned how the " smile effect" on his teeth with his surgery far more than Dogga as he could easily transition to a career in modelling or some such promotional opportunity. 

    But that's why we love Dogga not fazed by broken tooth and newspaper highlights to boot!!  The ultimate team man who seemlessly has taken over about 30 mins of Maxy's  ruck work his 2 seasons career!!

    Petty's injury to his calf is just a corkie according to the Herald Sun

    A few days before Trac was wearing this in an Instagram story.

    I’m told it’s a muscle stimulating device - meant to be beneficial for muscle recovery and injury prevention and that pain and swelling will inhibit the action of muscles required to stabilise a joint. With his history of knee issues he is just using a recovery strategy to ensure when he trains / plays his musculoskeletal system is functoning optimally to reduce his chances of reinjury

    Thanks for explaining @Demonland, was about to google hyperice. We’ve come a long way since the days of frozen pea bags resting on joints.

    I’m concerned that Goody was part of the group, and is only missing from the photo because he just stepped out to purchase a group lotto ticket.

    I recall in an interview last year Goodwin said something like:   Petracca's knee can blow up after a game so he doesn't do much with it at training on a Monday.

    Going on his burst of speed from centre bounces, displayed brilliantly in the GF, he isn't impaired by the knee in games.  Probably all part of the Burgess mantra of building 'physical resilience' and not resting players with 'niggles' from training or from playing.

    This pic now explains the round marks you see on Trac’s legs every time he plays. I used to think they were cupping bruises. Thanks for solving the mystery.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
