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

    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.

    There is a picture of Rosman in the MFC Gallery of training pics. He is kicking and so I am guessing his hamstring looks to be minor.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
