I'm convinced that one day Langdon will be in the injury report with "self-bitten tongue" 

Those of us who concentrate with our tongue out always know when to retract to avoid a bite.

An instinctive, intuitive and instant self preservation technique, not dissimilar to avoiding tackles.

I'm starting to think people given the name Max at birth have been given some sort of psycho-physiological boost that makes them grow above 2 meters tall. Max Gawn, Max King, Max Lynch, Max Ramsden, etc. (And didn't we also have a draftee called Max King who was a ruckman but never quite made the big time? Or have I remembered incorrectly?)

Max Smart (Don Adams) 171 cm 😱

I'm sticking with my assessment. After all, Get Smart was a spoof of the James Bond genre and as such I'll claim that Mel Brooks as the show's creator deliberately called a smaller stature actor "Max" as part of the whole spoof theme. Just like Australians call oversize people "Tiny" and shorter people "Lofty".

He is. I reckon they'll play him in the 2s to get match conditioning.

A Sunday game at Frankston. A lovely ground but the local crowd can be lively to say the least.

A great sausage sizzle as I recall

Two players unaccounted for who missed in the VFL last week. Majak Daw and JVR. 

Not injured but rested?

Out sick from what I heard.

I don’t understand why Tmac was training on that last week? Given out abysmal history with foot injuries why weren’t we being somewhat precautionary? I’m seeing players like Petty,  BBrown and Trac played when it’s clear they’re not right. I’m concerned we’re being  overly cavalier with injuries atm and starting to pay the price.

It’s not cheap to get scans done so they probably went on the assumption that it was a small tweak and when it continued to get worse after training they did the scans.

Petracca was ill, and put his hand up as being fit to play last week. What did the club do wrong there?

Goodwin was directly asked if Brown's fit last night and responded with a simple "yes". There's no other evidence or even rumour to suggest he's injured, so maybe his poor form is just that, poor form.

Not sure there's really an issue here right now.

Jon Ralph just announced on Fox Footy that Tmac will miss a minimum of 12 weeks and could be out potentially for 12 months with a Lisfranc tear in his foot. We'll have no choice now but to persist with Weid as the second tall, which isn't such a bad thing... Other than that I would love to try Petty forward again. We have Tomlinson as a decent 3rd tall defender and was a standout last year before he did his ACL. Time to throw the magnets around after two losses in a row.

You can almost guarantee that is exactly what Goodwin won't do.

Are you saying that as a criticism or a compliment?

Given all the other news today there is no way Petty survives this Test.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
