Has Petty even done a pre-season?

Did he do a pre-season in the premiership year? Tommo was our second tall that year from the beginning and then did his knee opening the door for Petty, I just can't recall if he was a factor in the pre-season.

    No doubt the AFL are making it up on the run - it is their way.

    i don't think it is up to the afl at the moment

    it's the wada mob (can't remember their new name)

    Could be back Round 8 (Geelong) or Round 9 (Carlton)

    That is one of the better footy photos I have ever seen.

    Sometimes you don’t need spectacular marks or big hits being caught at just the right moment, to show what this game of AFL is about. A photo that captures not just the moment, but captures the emotion of that moment, can be far more effective.
     

    The look of concern in May’s eyes sent a shiver up and down my spine and almost brought a tear to my eye. It’s the photographic equivalent to a medieval painting by the likes of Michelangelo. It’s a rare gem! (settle down Tim, settle down!)

    Name Injury Expected Return
    Harrison Petty Toe Available
    Ollie Sestan Concussion 1 week
    Lachie Hunter Calf 2 weeks
    Daniel Turner  Hip 5 - 6 weeks 
    Jake Bowey Shoulder 8 weeks
    Charlie Spargo Achilles TBC
    Shane McAdam Hamstring TBC 
    Jake Melksham  Knee TBC 

     

    Whilst this is great news, id still be tempted to give him managed minutes in the VFL.

    In a perfect world we do play him and be 60 points up halfway through the 3rd v the Hawks and we could sub him off.

    I was a bit concerned about Chol's knee after it got smashed by May's ribcage and Van Rooyen's head in the same game. Have seen no media or AGL  reports as to whether he has pulled up ok.

    Real shame Disco is injured as well, this would've been the perfect chance for him to step in.

    Talk about backline injuries. 

    Last year our fwd line was decimated.

    Now we have four quality defenders possibly injured in Disco, Bowey, May and Lever.

    Just reported on Kayo/Fox during WCE/GWS half time that May has 2 or 3 broken ribs and a possible vertebrae fracture - saying he'll miss Port and maybe Adelaide games.

    How the actual [censored] does one have multiple broken ribs and maybe a broken vertebrae and only miss up to two games? 😳

    If that was me I’d be out for 10-15 years.

    If that's right I'd be thinking 4-6 weeks and possibly post mid season bye

    Just reported May has 3 broken ribs plus a cracked vertebrae. 

    They suspect he'll miss both Adelaide games plus more.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
