Assume they are just guesstimating like I did a few minutes ago when I updated the injury list on Demonland.

ย  PLAYER INJURY LENGTH
OLIVER Clayton.png Clayton Oliver Hamstring Test
MCDONALD Tom.png Tom McDonald Ankle 1 Week
TURNER Kye.png Kye Turner Groin 1 Week
FRITSCH Bayley.png Bayley Fritsch Foot 2-3 Weeks
TURNER Daniel.png Daniel Turner Hand 2-3 Weeks
PETTY Harrison.png Harrison Petty Foot TBC
HOWES Blake.png Blake Howes Hand Season
SESTAN Oliver.png Oliver Sestan Elbow Season

Petty is a big loss as he was finding his rhythm, but thatโ€™s afl footy, we should have back Oliver , t Mac , Fritsch available by finals time. Though not sure would they need game time @ Casey?

Communication from the club re: injuries this season has been putridย 

Except for when Gawn went down and the internet went into meltdown and we got an update on a Sunday.ย

all that just "from the vision"?ย  ย sheez some of these guys can sure spin things

I'd be very surprised if he played again this year. I'd be surprised and relieved if he was good to go at theย start ofย  preseason.


None of us gave a $hite when Turner went down.... we don't 'deserve' to have the knowledge considering its personal information.

It's quite the entitled stance.

We seem to have 'finally' nicely gone along the 7 stages of grieving re: communicating Clayton's injury... it'd be nice for supporters to manage themselves for any other injury going forward.

We seem to have 'finally' nicely gone along the 7 stages of grieving re: communicating Clayton's injury... I suggest we do the same to anyone else going forward.

I was only aware of 5 stages ๐Ÿ˜‰maybe waiting ..and then anticipating the worst see the other two?ย 


Probably hasn't been expressed enough but I'm really feeling for Harry. He works incredibly hard at both ends of the ground and this would be really frustrating for him right now.

Richo saying season over on C7ย 


I'd be happy for the club to keep things under wrap as far as possible if there is any chance of him playing this year. Our competitors would have more to think about if they don't know who may be in the team in the finals.

Please never play that dump of a ground ever again ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก


So I missed this bit on 7 News. Did Richo actually say "season over", because if not, he's still in the frame, and it would be logical management to keep the press off our backs and Petty's if we simply said it was a bad injury.

Are you equating turner to petty. Petty is pivotal to our flag chances. Supporters are on tensor hooksย

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0โ€“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 โ€” something they havenโ€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyโ€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearโ€™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

    ๏ปฟA 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.ย  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the โ€œFuchsias.โ€ 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.
