Everything I hear is that Lever by his own admission didn't come back fit enough post 2021

Where'd you hear that mate?

    True, they managed to pick up another 5,000 today too. I'm sure the players will be cautious.

    There needs to be a COVID ladder to see which club has missed the most players through H&SP
     

    actually, roy wa today got over 17,000 cases, the highest in the country by some margin

    i'm sure the club must be aware and will take precautions......i certainly hope so

    Thankfully our players' parents didn't 20-30 years ago.

    That will make them even more keen to get him.

    I'm sure they'd like Clarry and Kozzi too but good luck with any of it

    LJ seeing WC being unfit and ill disciplined should do wonders for us signing him on quickly

    Sorry ambiguous post, meant additional 5,000 on top of yesterdays number of 12,000 just phrased poorly. 

    At least the game next week isn't against a challenger if something does happen

    We can't just go into the next 2 weeks thinking these are walk in the park games. Eagles and North are done for the year and have nothing to lose so they won't have an issue taking risks. Rest anyone who is injured but if a rest isn't necessary then leave it be. If We play hard and decimate in seemingly simpler games then get the 8 points and get a percentage boost as a buffer. Many say that the next best teams after us are a long way from us but really they aren't that far. Freo and Brisbane have only dropped 1 game and from recent matches have a handy percentage boost. We drop a game as it stands and we drop to 3rd - we can't be complacent. We play each game hard and don't back down

     

    In Goodwin's press conf this morning it sounded like no changes.

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
