For those wondering this article says that Lycett trained in their captain's run today but Teakle didn't, therefore suggesting Lycett is going to be brought back to replace Teakle as their ruck.

It also says Dixon trained but wasn't moving freely.

    According to SA sources much about Dixon playing  is piffle waffle.... He needs to pass a fitness test...as late as Friday.

    It's suspected he won't.  I hope he plays ;)

    yep

    Not my choice but if you think of Petty as the up the ground forward it makes sense.

    I hope the big dinosaurs in Dixon and Lycett play.  They are underdone and it could be wet.  May and our rucks should run off them and expose them

    Taking the absolute [censored]. 
    Can he play forward once Salem return?

    I know we have 8000 players fighting for a half forward role, but come on!

    Wow... Salo sounded very confident he was on track & ready arround three / four weeks ago and the window opened!

    Was expecting at least 1 week at Casey but there you go.

    Dixon is more likely than unlikely to be playing according to Hinkley.

     

    I got this wrong but good news nonetheless.

    Now just need Dunstan back to his best to assist Viney in the center with extractions (and from that clearances).

    Not sure who he'd replace though.  Maybe JJ for a block of matches.

    Great to see Salem back. Fingers crossed he can stay fit for the rest of the year.

    A big surprise with Salo. I hope the club isn’t rushing him back. They did last year and his season really suffered. 

    Thrilled with no Dixon. He’s a monster and he always troubles us.

    Don't think they will play Viney and Dunstan in the same team, Dunstan depth only.

    Exactly. I don’t know why people don’t understand what Dunstan is.

    I thought the same thing. With McVee, Salem and Bowey back Gus has to go into the middle - probably to play Sparrows role this week.

    Club must be happy with Woewodin.

    I’d be happybwith him if he didn’t try to take on the opposition every time he gets it.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
