I didn't particularly like Cats on 8th Sept 1947..

Mmmmm?  Not footy related anyway as Melbourne and Geelong failed to make finals in 1947.

What might be the reason(s) for Oliver not playing after surgery? Is it (1) bone structure protection to stop further damage? (2) to allow the surgical scar to heal? (3) pain, or, conversely, having to play with a numbed hand which makes it hard to use that hand?

 

Most likely soft tissue ie skin and muscle healing I would think.  The bone itself won't be healed for more than a month.

Any opportunity to take a pottie at Melksy.

Sad, really. 

Was tongue in cheek , no offense meant, have loved Melksham and his contribution to teh Dees... he aint replacing Oliver though.. and to be fair.. none will.

Not when you’re handballing 70% of the time. Here’s hoping the thumb causes Clarry to kick more.

I figure he throws it 50 %  of that 70%

It's a thing of beauty imo 

 

Was listening to SEN on the way to the shops and they said they will have an injury update on demons Oliver, Lever and Ben Brown later in the show. Not sure when and can't listen now.

Anyone know of a potential injury to Ben?

Said BB and Gus were sore, and Lever expected to play, that was on 9 news. 


Seems BBB and Gus not too bad, which is good as needed vs WB

I thought Clarry was a thumb, or do he injure his finger in fury at Goodwin when he told him he wasn’t playing against Port?

If Lever out we still have Petty returning presumably..Tomlinson stays as well after finding some form. 

Lever needs to be right for Sept.

All good.

Do we try J Smith in the forward line? 

Not until he recovers, if he does, from his latest injury.  🙄

The thumb IS a finger.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
