    Agree, if we need a perfect run with injuries to win, then maybe we are not worthy.

    Well, all this does is create opportunity for someone like Tom Sparrow.

    I've been hard on him of recent because I haven't felt he has taken the next step as I thought he would.

    If there was an opportunity and chance to really take the next step and show everyone what he's got then it's now. There's some big midfield minutes there for the taking and it's up to Sparrow to grab it with both hands now.

    Why didn’t we ‘manage’ our best players during that period?

    More rhetorical questions…

    Clarry has barely missed a game in 6 years. hardly needs resting. plus we lost the bombers and almost lost to GC so not sure we have the luxury of resting

    Next month will be a shambles and a window into the next few years unless Goodwin wakes the [censored] up and recruits another top mid in trade period.

    Some hysteria abroad. Pathetic.  I'm sure the team has more bottle.

    Just reported it on 9 news as well

    Feel like this will get swept under the rug during the weeks.

    This smells of when we sent Joel Smith back out with a strained groin in a nab game back in 2019 and ended up missing the year because of further damage.

    This is not the end of the world. You can't replace an Oliver, but a bit of adversity never hurt anyone. The 22 who take the field on Saturday will know they'll have to give everything they've got to cover the loss of Clarrie. They'll be switched on and crack in.

    Then we are not competing for the flag. If we cannot rest one of our galaxy of stars - then we cannot lose them to injury - and that is an excuse.

    They don’t get that from me. I expect to win this Saturday.

    Sparrow was badly missed on Friday night. He does a lot of work off the ball to help Trac and Clarry. His absence meant that Port could shut down Viney, which they said was a tactic post match, and it left us very vulnerable in the middle. 
    People underestimate his role. I’m glad he’s back this week. Just sucks that Dunstan is injured! Rubbish timing.

    All clubs lose good players. Challenge is to see if we are a good footy club or not.

    I feel for Dunstan big time.

    Clarry out with hammy, Tracc playing with proppy ankle.

    This will be a massive test of Goodwin's coaching

    I’m actually ok with this. I hated Friday night but this group needs to HTFU and grind out some wins. They’ve got it in them and I’ll remain a believer until I’m not. Go Dees.

    Port just rolled us with 5 of their 22 out

    hopefully the midfield can pull their finger out and play some solid hard running defence. Saints win how many games with 8-10 of their first 22 out.

    my main point is a 25yo gun doesn’t need resting. injuries happen

    of course we have to win on Sat. we have Harmes, Jordon etc to come in

    I’d like to see Brayshaw , Kozzie and Rivers get extended runs in the middle to help cover the loss of Clarry

    Bring in Howes or Disco, and play Rivers in the midfield. Rivers has form and confidence. Howes and Disco have good consistent form at Casey.

    Get Angus to nullify Andrew. That will go a long way to beating Freo.

    No.

    I'm not accepting the season is over one bit.

    Dangerfield missed 6 games last year and that did not stop them going on a full blown winning streak without him.

    Accept it at your own peril, cool. 

    I won't.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
