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.

    Looks like Brayshaw will play midfield. 

    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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
