I'd be pretty confident, another 6 days should slam dunk it. 

As I’ve said before, his omission from any game is due in no part whatsoever to his personal quest to be back to 100%. This boy is hellbent on getting back out on the park. We’re all hugely disappointed that he’s not playing, but believe me, our disappointment is dwarfed by his.

Turner will be next in line surely.

Petty to FB, Turner CHB and Lever third man up.

Will Hibbo get a call up as he can play "taller" than he actually is?

Either way, nobody is May. It's like trying to replace Oliver. Can't be done.

I think Hibbo’s case over McVee is strengthened if it’s Turner. They won’t want to be so young and inexperienced down back.

If it’s Tommy Mc then McVee might still get the nod.

    At least we've learnt our lesson. Don't burn your playing list in Round 1. 

    Right? This is what we all wanted. This will pay off in the long run. 

    Reading about the May injury has sent my MFCSS into psychosis.

    We should be so lucky, isn't it going to be 31 or something this Sat?

     

    Nothing quite like the wheels falling off before round 1 has even started.

    This is what being a Melbourne supporter should feel like!

    Current forecast is predicting a dry southerly cool change coming through just before game time lowering the temp to mid to low 20s  We'll be watching that closely to help make our cheese choices for the game.

    If May is out we’ll play Max behind the ball and Brodie in the ruck. Lot of talk about the tall dogs but 3 of them are JUH, Darcy and Lobb. I’ll back Max over them in the air any day.

    Spot on. However, there needs to be careful selection of another tall. McDonald may have to swing back. We will need another presence up in the forward line. I'd back Schache in against his old mob. He can play both ends and has the VFL form to warrant selection

    If May misses it can’t/won’t be Smith replacing him. He hasn’t had a full pre-season, and hasn’t he been training forward?

    Tomlinson or Turner should be the replacement, they are key defenders and whilst neither holds a candle to May, the point of having key defenders as depth is to call on them when a first choice defender misses. 

    Will be a massive test to beat a fellow top 4 contender with May joining Viney, Fritsch and Salem on the sidelines. That’s a lot of talent out. 

    I have watched Tomlinson a fair bit at training and sadly he is not a patch on the player he was pre knee reco. I d say his confidence is Shot! So far of the pace its not funny. Cannot possibly play. Play T Mac back and bring in Shackey Attackey would be my call to play forward

    May has “tightness” in his calf. Reported this morning by Sam Edmond.

    He hasn’t been ruled out yet.

    I'd say if May doesn't get up they will go Turner as the replacement. Petty will take May's role and Turner will play in Petty's role.

    Gawn to play more behind the ball as opposed to forward.

    Turner to Darcy or hugle Hagen. Neither are super strong

    Yep.

    Remember that time May played with a 6cm tear in his hamstring.

    Yes, but this different, this is an important game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
