As a matter of interest, do we know how many players (and who) have had post-season surgery? Similarly, who is going to have an enforced delayed start as they recover? 

As far as I can ascertain, there wasn't anything major, Tommy Mc had the bits of metal that were holding his foot together removed and kept them.

Everybody else are posting pics of holiday and off season work

    Well don’t let any Demons train in it in the off season, or he will be looking at a full rebuild.

    Is everyone aight with the DemonSpirit hashie

    feels a bit…confected

    Not as tight as HeartBeatsTrue etc etc

    Yep, with you on that. Thought #GiveEmHell could have hung around longer and is a bit more inspiring. #DemonSpirit just feels a bit not connected to anything - Doesn't reference our song, doesn't have any kind of real 'Demon' connection, just a bit nothing.

    Wouldn't care so much if it was just a hashtag, but it's the whole marketing motto, and in the era of the 'disruptors' (god, I hate corporate speak) it's wishy washy.

    Looks to be running in that photo unless they were just miming exaggerated running in slow motion.

    I would think it’d be in a moonboot still if it was injured again.

    I think saty mentioned in another thread that he had gone in to have the screws removed.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
