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.

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.


Injury List: Round 2

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

When will Milkshake be realistically back?

Bowser is one tough player.

Milkshake looking at round 16-18 at this rate. 

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.

Always seems to be the case ☹️

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: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
