I always like to see Melbourne win but, if I have a choice, I’d rather the team finish the game injury free.

    Let’s just build and refine what we saw in last week’s scratch match.  The score doesn’t matter, but if we do these things, we’ll win anyway ……… and of course, no injuries.

    Is either game going to feature on Casey Radio?


    Would love to see McVee again press his claims to a round one berth. And hoping for a clarry goal. Love a clarry goal, usually means we are dominating. 

    Apparently Fritsch isn't playing today again?

    Should we be worries about him for R1?

    He is easily our 3rd or 4th most important player (50+ goals the last 2 seasons).

     

    So missing as far as I can see are:

    Viney, (inj) Fritsch, (inj)  Salem, (inj)  Tomlinson, ??  Rivers, (wonder why ?) Dunstan and J Smith of the "worthy"  to be selected otherwise I like the strength of the squad. 

    anyone wish to add to my concerns ?

    Rivers has been named in the back pocket. 

    Dunstan is still recovering from a hamstring injury in one of our last intra-club match sims before the practice matches started. 

    Tomlinson was playing for Casey last week and I assume he’ll play for them again today. 

    Joel Smith also just resumed training in a limited capacity just before the match sims. Did he play for Casey last week against the Saints? If so he’ll likely play again this week. Otherwise I expect he’ll be a week or two away from returning via Casey.

    No injuries and further refinement of our forward 50 approach.

    Would like to see Nankervis cop a belt or 2. He's meted out plenty of punishment to Maxy over the journey so would like to see the ledger evened up a little. Any by legal means of course. I don't want any suspensions.

    Win or lose does not matter. No injuries please.

    What has happened to Fritsch?

    Who knows.

    MFC website barely ever updates fans on the injury front.

    This was discussed on another thread.  Fritsch's foot was stomped on by accident in training a few weeks back.  They're managing it conservatively and letting him heal (which is going well apparently).  It's not on the website because this is the kind of injury that teams will exploit / target Fritsch for

    As i can't make it, and find the low camera angle at VFL grounds unwatchable understandably, the DL post match thread will suffice. Unless someone wants to rent a crane and live stream illegally 😂

    I'm beginning to think Chris Scott might be onto something with the 18 min quarters and 26 rounds instead of 2 potato quality praccy match Sims.

    One of the ugliest aspects of football is the players who deliberately injure others!  I alternate between disgust and fury, and sadness for our boys on this front

    Glad it's not really seen in AFLW and hope it never is!

    pretty much full strength

    Yep....feel dirty shelling out for Kayo. Love of club I guess greater than contempt for the Murdoch clan.

    Gee we are spoiled. Is it just me that can remember only one replay on the weekend in the good old days. And it was rarely our team in it.

    Yes the old am radio had to suffice.

    It’s only started to drop off in the last 5 to 10 years.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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.
