Petracca, Oliver, Viney... cliff.

That's our midfield depth.

Doesn't matter who we bring in for Oliver (if required), they will be substandard.

A legacy of Goodwin riding the same players into the ground year after year and not developing our other mids.

Dunstan can get the pill but not sure about ball use and speed - evidently, Goody recruited him to play for Casey anyway.

Hope Clarry pulls up ok.

I'm watching Tom Mitchell for Collingwood being a completely different player.

They were bad last year in clearences and went and brought Mitchell in to fix this.

Poor Luke Dunstan who's a clearence specialist gets 42 disposal and 2 goals in a VFL game and Goody still refuses to play him because he's happy sticking with the same soliders each week who continue to get beaten around the stoppages.

    Extremely tough break if Ralph is correct. Someone needs to step up now and time to dig in deep Demons.

    The fact is no one will replace Oliver, and we have cover. The club may need to rethink our midfield set up. Sparrow, JJ, Harmes, Kozy (more time in the midfield may give him some form), Rivers, Brayshaw, Salem, ANB, Chandler, Dunstan etc etc can go through the midfield.

    I like the idea of a tagging midfield with our flankers/wingers providing the drive. Back to the early season form with those with good skills kicking and running through the opposition in to a forward line that leads to the ball carrier. 
     

    Stop the continuous long kick down the line including kick ins.

    I mean who am I to be dramatic or negative, but I feel like I’m just going to come out and say it. 
    We are cooked.

    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.

    There are 16 players who have plenty of room to lift 25-90% each!

    And even if they lift by 845% they still won’t reach Clarry’s level of talent, skills or importance to our side.

    Injuries happen. He is so durable and he will weeks in the middle of a season. The best time if we are to be a contender.

    Also, can we just go and hunt the footy?

    Why couldn’t this happen during our stretch of playing cellar dwellers? Why now?

    "Could be sidelined for up to a month" says Ralph.

    Let's wait for something a bit more definitive from the club.  It might not be the catastrophe some are fearing.

    Yep classic click bait. No doubt he's getting scans but this reads like a complete guess by Johnny boy.

    Why the f did he get the green light to go back out there in Q4?

    Own goal by us if it's significant

    It sounds like we've already gotten the scans back.

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

    More rhetorical questions…

    Why did he even go back on? I would rather risk Bowey blowing a calf, than Oliver getting a grazed pinky.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
