Has everyone forgotten about Schache, he was the preferred tall not that long ago!

    You are better off bringing Joel Smith to play that role. He has the height and athleticism to go with him. 

    It’s an option for sure he has the defensive prowess and can work off him.

    I can't believe how many people look to smith, he will get gobbled up at AFL level (again).

    This could be a blessing in disguise, who ever comes in should get this 4 block period to nail that spot.  Hopefully they lock it in and petty can return to def, i really think we are missing him back there.

    @dees189227 had his toe jammed between the ground and another player, it caused a sprain in one of the foot ligaments.

    Wasn't McDonald picked as an emergency last week, sort of points to him getting the nod this week.

    Yep, T-Mac is next in line and he can play the role (lead up CHF) that Petty was playing

    Brown is more a deep forward (JVR's role) and Schache is there in reserve for one of the ruckman

    I’m guessing that is a polite way of saying someone stepped on his toe?

    Perhaps lol, the lady doc on the video said it was an interesting injury.

    The doc found it interesting and Jaded No more found it disastrous.

    I am leaning towards Jaded's view on this one.

    My understanding is this had nothing to do with what happened in the game and that this toe jam stuff is merely a cover.

    Apparently he got wind of the MRO crappa on Sparrow and hunted Christian down.

    Pssst....this hasn't gotten out of the four walls yet so mum's the word!

    No way. The only person who's forgotten about him is Bevo. In fact, I'm tipping him to have a career breakout game at Casey next week.

    Sounds like it is the end of the world...our third defensive tall and makeshift foward has gone down for 4 to 6. Thought Melbourne was supposed to be a top team. Currently within an injury list most teams would kill for.

    Disappointing for Petty who was finding form and starting to hit the score board too. 

    Those that have called for Melk or Smith to play a defensive forward role on Alir are on the money IMO.

    Time for Big Ben Brown to step up. van Rooyen to play Petty's role.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
