    Of all the injuries this year, this one is the most devastating as a fan.

    I definitely feel for Harry. I missed the Sydney Olympics 400m final with the same injury. True story.

    It’s still fresh in my memory. I had gone to the bathroom and was running back to the TV to watch the 400m final when I slipped on the marble floor and jammed my foot between the couch and floor, sustaining the dreaded lisfranc ligament injury. I was rolling around the floor in agony while the race was run.

    Ben Brown out with knee soreness this week.

    Tom Mac playing in the VFL

    It’s down to 3 options:

    Grundy

    Schache

    Smith

    This sucks big time, really feel for Harrison, he is so important to our team. Wishing him a successful recovery. We will miss him and his determination especially in finals.

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

    Nah, its was more the point that irrespective of context (importance of player) the response should (could) be the same. Of course its not, and I just think its hypocritical.

    FMD. Hopefully he’ll be right for pre season

    Yep it’s not just a worry for this year but it’s the sort of injury that can really hamper you for a long long time. Hopefully by managing it well now, it’ll have a better long term outcome for us. 

    The endless list of injuries this seasons can get in the bin!

    Super gutted for Petts but at the same time very bullish about season 2024. Reckon he could kick 50+ if his body holds up!

    For a moment I thought you must be a class athlete. 
    Second paragraph soon told me differently. 
    Not to dismiss your horrid injury. Hope all is operating as it should now.

    One thing that bugs me about these things is the announcement on Channel 7 news as a scoop. Surely supporters/members could get this info. Not watch a prerecorded presser from Richo.

    Anyway, feel for Petty. Think this will kill some momentum for us. Hopefully we find a way

    It's a huge blow for us. But, in this circumstance we just simply have to move on and focus in on the group we have available. 

    Huge positive is that we'll have a handy full forward exploding into 2024 season.

    Get well Petts

    Are there any career ramifications here with a losfranc or can we be sure he’ll be back in 24?

    This is what I’m hoping for, a mobile T Mac for the last 5-6 weeks.

    Petty is only 23 and the club are doing the right thing by putting him out to pasture until next season. 

    Hopefully now Tmac is back in the reserves he will be fit and firing on all cylinders just in time for the last round and run into finals. 

    God I hope so anyway.

    Poor bugger, season from hell for him all round.

    We just need to move on now. I think many were hopeful but thats footy.

    On a positive, even though its a big loss, we can still win without him. Not ideal to still be sorting our forwardline out at this time of year.

    Petty has only played 14 games this year. With only 6 games since round 9, 4 of which he was subbed off in.

    He has also been subbed off in 3 of his last 4 games and 4 out of his last 7.

    So as much as it sucks, we ARE used to life without him and need to move on. It probably looks worse after his bag of 6.

    The big question is, who can fill the void until Fritsch comes back, I'm hoping it isn't Smith or Grundy.

    It'll all be OK.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
