I think everyone saw that one coming. 0 need to risk one of our most important players in round 2, especially given the mounting injury toll to our backline and having lost Salem for a third of the year. 
Rivers is a good replacement for Salem from a like for like opponent matchup perspective so at least that’s something.

    Here is a previously unreleased image of Jake Lever sustaining his plantar fascia injury.

    Hope to see you back out there next week, Rick!

    So one of the ‘bros’ from the Deebrief podcast is saying that he is hearing whispers that Lever’s injury is much worse than reported.

    Take of that blah blah blah.

    I just came on here to post that I'd heard the same thing from someone who has a relatively good connection to the club.

    But also why would you risk Lever or Hibbo in a round 3 game against a side that don’t have much of a forwardline either.

    I thought we were past playing cute little games with our injured players, but Petty, Lever and Hibberd are now all well outside the timeframes initially provided for their returns.

    If Lever's injury is really that bad, just let us know and we'll move on.

    Why do we need to know?

    They are showing Hibbo and Lever one week, Petty 2 - 3 weeks and Salo 5 - 7 weeks and Turner 4 - 5. So could be closer than we thought.!!

    Don't like the sound of Lever's foot. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a 10-12 week injury.

    I’m slightly concerned about the handling of our injuries compared to last yr. 
    Salem came back to early, Riv looked proppy on the weekend and some of the current injuries Hibbo, Petty times keep getting pushed out.

    Is the Salem injury related to his pre-season one? Or is it a completely new and unrelated problem?

    6 players, 5 defenders, 4 premiership players

    Despite this our defence seems to be hanging in there.  Says a lot about depth.

    Sounds like Lever is still at least 2 weeks away as well:

    “Jake is still experiencing a bit of swelling and pain in his foot. We thought he might be playing as early as this week, but that won’t be the case. It looks like he’ll need at least need another week, which is disappointing, but we don’t want to risk anything there.”

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
