I get what you are saying and what I wrote wasn't an exact science.

I just hope the players picked play their role.

I don't wish injury on anyone, even Collingwood.

 

do you want to reconsider that last bit?

    And reported in yesterday's The Age...Aaron vandenBerg is injured again.

    He was apparently playing for Old Xavs and suffered what The Age called "a serious arm injury". Poor bloke still can't take a trick.

    Not sure if it's paywalled, but it's buried a fair way down this story.

    My brother was over at Maxy's place on monday. He mentioned how banged up the boys were come the Friday night. Obviously Trac's leg, Fritta's knee was no good & Max's groins were cooked.

    He said he felt OK 1st Qtr, but as the game went on, they progressively got worse & worse (clearly noticeable by his performance thereafter).

    He also said they really needed to win the QF to get the week off.

    Shouldn't have taken injured players into the Lions game then.

    They wouldn't need to if they had given injured guys some time out in the second half of the season.

    Loading and rest appear to be the mantra for the best outcomes.

    We will be better prepared for a normal season of injuries in 2023 unlike 2021 when we were more than lucky.

    Tmac has re-injured his foot. Wrap him in cotton wool and let’s hope he can still get a full pre-season in.

    When did this happen?  He did get some sort of calf (?thigh) injury in the VFL PF.

    Bit of a worry given they had the week off between round 23 and the QF to rest up any lingering issues.

    A close friend was at a 40th last Saturday which TMac attended. His foot got trodden on by a Brisbane player and he told her it was very sore Saturday night and was going for scans early in the week.. It was  6 month injury which they managed to get him back in 3 unfortunate that he got trodden on.

    Typical of our luck this year

    Poor Tmac. He won't be able to start his pre-season for a while now.

    100% this. Geelong rested players all year and are now cherry ripe to challenge for a flag. We hurried injured players back and played them underdone instead of giving them time to heal. When you have players like Dunstan and Chandler absolutely demolishing the VFL, surely you can give them a game at AFL level to fill in for underdone players that need to be fit come finals time. The club stuffed it this year.

    Shame to hear TMac has re-injured his foot. That's probably also the result of rushing him back in 3 months when it is usually a 6 month recovery time for that type of injury. Hopefully he will still be able to get some preseason in and be ready for next season.

    Agree and I'm extremely suss on this "foot was trodden on" story.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
