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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
