There is a rumour that Petracca is carrying an injury   any news??

Of course he is - every player is at this stage of the season. No indication that there is anything worrying though.

    That's a very healthy list with only one regular senior player unavailable.

    Is it mere luck or do our medical/conditioning staff deserve a pat on the back for their good work?

    First final around 18 days away. Should be right for our second final. His touch won’t be there yet so he’ll fit in well up fwd

    Whoever has been producing these training reports recently needs to find another job. The idea of background music during an interview is bizarre. I think I heard The Deliverance at one stage, so I took that to mean that we're up sh#t creek without a paddle.

    McDonald is set to play VFL during the AFL's pre-finals bye, which could open the window for him to feature in the first week of senior finals.

    “As we sit here now, based on the way he (McDonald) is tracking, he’ll play next week,” Richardson confirmed.

    “We’re hopeful given the training he’s been doing, we’d be looking at him playing significant minutes next week.”

    There used to be rules about who can play finals in VFL if you hadnt played during Home and Away.

    Anyone know if this is still an issue for Tom?

    As long as the AFL team is still playing there are no restrictions on who may play in the VFL

    Agreed.

    Fat chance Salem and Jackson aren't fit for finals in a week and a half with those minor injuries.

    Brilliant to have another full list available heading into finals.

    It would be literally (actually) incredible (unbelievable) were Tommy to get back and have an influence finals  after so much time out: but if anyone has the physical and mental application to give it a red hot go it would be him.

    You reckon? 

    I don't doubt his intent and I am a fan for the last 4 years but I think he's mentally a little fragile.

    It's written across his face .When he's up and about he looks like a different player. 

    Walking off after a game where things have gone wrong he's flat and expressionless

    Probably better than skipping and joking. Maybe he’s serious about results.

    Not certain that’s the case when your AFL side isn’t playing on the weekend. I think the club has to get the okay from the VFL in the case of a player like Tom. It should be automatic because he’s returning from injury.

    It stands to reason that the clubs with the more experienced lists will also rank higher in the above list but we are definitely travelling okay at the moment as far as injuries are concerned.

    I’m nervous writing it, but this is the kind of injury list (or lack thereof) that should win another premiership.

    Looking at the interview with Michael Hibberd on the MFC site, noticed Kosi in the training footage, knee heavily strapped and walking with a limp! Not wishing to alarm, but would appreciate an update from anyone who has been at training.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
