Too many sips from the wine cask I fear.

After a knee injury you build up the knee strength not thrash it. 2 games in 5 days, imo as a non doctor of course, would be ridiculous.

I'd be more worried if Uncle wasn't sipping Mr Leg!

And what's wrong with a little 2021 Chateau de Romsey anyway 😀

I'm guessing this is where having the other big boy in Reg probably helps to lessen the load somewhat (for Max) over both weeks?

Also we may end up resting Max that following week as you are suggesting.  I don't see why he can't be managed that way if the oppo is only bringing one genuine ruck.

As Uncle said .... we will soon find out how he pulls up (Max that is... not Uncle!)

    The people that said the doctors wouldn't rush Max if he wasn't 100%, you have been proven correct 🙂

    Just hope he can avoid any repeats, we need the big guy.

    Was this at Adelaide Oval?

    Regardless, I’m sorry your son had to hear that. ☹️ If there is such a person she’s not part of the cheer squad, even if she was in our bay. Foul language is banned. Microphones in the goalposts mean that hefty fines can be issued by the AFL. Besides, she’d be told to cut it out immediately if she was a DA member. 

    Now I know why my application for DA membership was rejected.

     In the past I have rocked up with my general admission membership and been able to get a seat, albeit way up high on level 4.  I just tried upgrading my general admission membership barcode then on ticketek and it doesn't show any available seats.  I am assuming this means all reserve seats have been sold.  BarnDee I may be joining you in the back row of level 4!

    ok thanks dee  if thats the case  na  , way up there is like not being there lol might go to plan B , cheers and go dees

    I realise there is a thing called match hardness that comes through playing. However, if he has been chosen to play against Richmond, I assume the "build up" has beed carried out during rehab/training.

    Anyway  Red, we'll find out over the next week or so!

    Yep.

    I think Grundy is going to need a freshen at some stage, so that could be interesting.

    I think Schache could turn out to be a useful swing man for us.

    Is there a shower where you put the banner together? If not, seems like a significant health and safety issue for you.

    The outrage was he suggested Uncle was imbibing Chateau Cardboard. He would be mortified at the thought.

    No showers at Reach, which is why I rocked up in full PPE, gas-mask included. Apparently they’re working on a vaccine and it should be available by ANZAC eve next year, which is great since next year we all go to Punt Road to make the shared banner.

    Neck and neck 

    It could be a red herring but in today's press conf Goodwin hinted that Brown might play on Monday night.

    He was lamenting the need to produce the squad 4-5 days prior to game time.  Brown wasn't in the squad but given the time gap changes could be made, I guess.

    Do we have until tomorrow night to submit our final 22?

    Max is a champion and professional. If he and the club are okay, I'm okay.

    To my eye the Grundy incident was deliberate with intent to injure.  But lets agree to disagree on that. 

    imv Draper's run and jump on TMc was thuggish.   I didn't say 'sinister'.

    It will be interesting to see how often his tactics result in injury. 

    Nankervis has a similar portfolio

    Might sound like a silly question but is Monday's game a ticketed game or can we scan our normal mobile membership through gate?

    It's actually not a silly question and I just assumed we'd scan at gate but could be dead wrong. 


    Someone was asking about the starting time of the ceremony on Monday night, @Jaded No More iirc.

    The order of events…

    The HS are reporting that Oliver has the flu, did not train today and is not a certainty for Monday’s game 😬

    Looks like Hibberd will be playing with Gus to the midfield. I wonder if that means Sparrow might miss out - his form has been ordinary

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
