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.

    A downpour on Saturday night would be welcomed right about now. 

    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. 
    his words “watch and see”

    He hasn’t been ruled out yet. 
    3 days to go

    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 PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
