I mean he still had 5 disposal in the last quarter. So he's had a decent crack at least

But yes, surely he either didn't tell coaching staff or If he did then I seriously would hope they didn't advise him to at least try and push through.

Surely not the latter🤯

I'll second that🤯😵‍💫😵

Slightly different line here, shouldn’t we be trying to conserve our core midfielders, they’ve put in a ton of work over the past 5 years. They look cooked

Just saw tv vision of him grabbing his hammy. Not what I call a good look. What is also interesting is that I don’t recall any mention made by commentators at the time. Guessing it was a very tense / exciting moment in play at the time.

Too busy barracking for Port

He's so used to oppo players grabbing him off the ball, he thought he'd grab himself just to feel like he was involved.

On the radio just now it appears unlikely Oliver will be available next week

2-4 coming up is my guess.....based on it's Melbourne


Oh this will be fun

esp KBW

Just as an aside He is leading the Lou Richards channel 9 Footy Show award and The AGE footballer of the Year and Second in the Herald Sun player of the year. 


We don't bat that deep in our midfield stocks unfortunately.

Dunstan injured, Harmes nqr, Sparrow limited, Laurie unproven.

With Bowey possibly out with a cald, we probably need Brayshaw down back.

I think Harmes and Sparrow come in and hope they provide more defensive midfield pressure. Petracca is going to have to spend most of the game in the midfield along with Viney.

I like Laurie's skill set so maybe he gets an opportunity?

Well it certainly will assist Freo's young midfield. They are as good as Port's young ones so someone will need to step up BIG TIME.

Laurie is not up to it at the moment unfortunately

How on earth did he play out the last quarter???

If this was known Dazzle this is /was negligent at Least

We need to understand.....it's IMPOSSSIBLE to replace Oliver.....all we really do is add a name to the team sheet. Clarry is as good as  2 others.   If this transpires... ...  we're not looking too flash....if that we were..

When was he last out of the side? 

Late last season when Selwood kicked his hand and broke bones. Not even a free kick paid for kicking in danger!

He returned wearing a brace after a week and was limited through the end of the season.

missed a game last season with a broken thumb courtesy of Joel Selwood

Does anyone know if he is actually going to miss games or are we all just guessing??

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
