He's actually one of favourites players and is pretty underrated so it's disappointing to lose him. 

Great opportunity for Tomlinson to step straight back into that role.

Is Tomlinson aiming to be ready for round 1?

 

Surgery to release bleeding from a corkie.

Tommo straight back in. We will barely miss a beat.

No Petty no worries just bring in  the Tomlinator.

Interesting to see what they do. If Tomlinson isn’t quite ready J Smith is the other option to play early. They might also stick with just May and Lever with Hunt coming back in. Hopefully  Petty only misses the first couple of rounds, feels a little weird not to panic with news like this on the eve of the season. 

I recall hearing last year the interesting stat about a premiership team never all playing in the same line up ever again … whilst not impossible for this group given no retirements , round 1 would have been the most likely time to do it

I think it’ll be J smith to come 

I reckon they’ll wait on Tomlinson for abit 

Smith isn’t in our best 22 but isn’t a bad player to come in for injury. Seemed to do well when he played last season I reckon 

Tomo shouldnt be far off he was back in light training in Grand Final week so he's been up and going for a fair while now

Watching the last 6 odd games and the finals Petty grew in confidence each week.

Tomlinson will have to play well to match him

Surely leeches would be effective 😉

The Dogs don't have an overly tall forward line and GC without King in round 2 so we may be able to go with May, Lever, Salem, Rivers, Hunt, Bowey & Hibberd if Tomlinson isn't ready yet.

Quite right Dr. That backline you just noted is pretty handy.

However, I'd love to see Tomlinson get a crack !

Yep and Dogs will still be without Bruce. 

Bad news for Petty. Hopefully 4-6 weeks means he won’t miss a heap of footy.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
