Strange story this - given TMac looked like he was pretty well right already just before Xmas.

Melbourne veteran Tom McDonald closes on full fitness

And???

So strange that Tmac is AGAIN like prior to 2021 doing everything he can to be his best in 2023 to help win another flag!!

Really strange this??? Amazing Well done Tmac!

    Actually think BBB is alot better once the ball hits the ground than many give him credit for.  Yes he looks awkward, but in my view he has brilliant footy sense that means even when he misses the mark, he knows where to go to put himself in dangerous positions to stay in the contest and be useful option in chains that end up in goals, whether he's the one kicking them or some deft tap ons to others.  Don't think he would have been the leading goal kicker in the league over a period of 3 years if he was a one trick pony and couldn't do stuff off the ground.  I also think he's an absolute asset and great teacher for guys like JVR in this respect.

    Fully agree RG

    I watched Max chase someone (I can't remember who) flat out for about 40 meters on the grandstand wing. The coaches applauded his effort. It was in the second half and was a huge effort. I wonder if that's what caused the tightness?

    No update on Lever, or J Smith, or anyone else missing training but an immediate press release for Gawn? For an injury (if conventional) that will be healed well before round 1.

    I’m worried that it’s a big hammy.

    Fingers crossed it’s not the hammy he torn badly a couple of years back... Yeah it’s seems only Jan 20th not biggie but missing a minimum of 3-4 weeks at this time of year is a [censored] time. Playing catch up for the first part of the season.

    Not ideal but he will have time to recover by Rd 1. Hopefully not a bad hammy

    And just like that, found my MFCSS again!

    If it’s a bad hammie, like real bad… having Grundy and Schache might help a few with MFCSS.

    Nothing helps them, they only see the negative

    I saw Gawn run off.  He ran at a good pace without showing discomfort.

    I'd be shocked if it's a bad hamstring considering how he left the field.  I'm guessing a minor twinge or a regulation 21 day recovery.

    He can regain any lost conditioning by lining up in the goal square for a month or so... Cue sound of fullbacks' knees knocking (each other, not Max's back).

    @Gator, thanks for that. Though I do recall Stephen May came off pretty comfortably with what proved to be somewhat spectacular! (though somewhat short of the leg injury a first glance at your avatar suggested to me!)

    The press release is the only reason I am panicking. Why even mention it when the season is still far enough away that a regulation hammy will be well healed in time for round 1?

    Otherwise a journo goes with it first and makes it sound a lot worse.

    my understanding is hamstring injury time is related to age of player and size of hamstring.

    given it's maxxy (whose hamstring is longer than my whole body) this could take years to heal 🥵

    Yep. Like it or not the name Max Gawn is just about our main click bait

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
