    If Bowey and JVR are fit to go this week , then we only have Jake Lever out of our Best 22 in my view.  
     

    We have had a few injuries but overall our main players have been playing each week.  
     

    No excuses at all for our loss last week or if indeed we lose to the Saints.

    Any chance J Smith can be moved from the injury list?

    He's not injured, will most likely never play AFL again and it just makes out injury list look bigger than it is.

    Turner gone from 2-3 to Test; that's a nice change.

    Spargo gone from 2-3 to TBC: that's possibly a sad change.

    Just admit already that you have no idea what's wrong with Spargo and no idea how to fix it. 

    Melksham seems to have drifted out a fair way from his KB target.

    Good one Hector

    PS On reflection Jason's voyage pre-dated the seige of Troy but I like the segway

    Apparently Achilles was an argonaut.

    Might be worth actually listening to Selwyn, if you haven't. Mentioned they'd ramped Spargo's loads up, he was still sore so they intervened (I'm assuming surgery). Hence the blow out of his time frames

    March.  Before round zero.

    “Charlie had some Achillies soreness with a bit of posterior ankle impingement as well and we’ve been able to get on top of that over the last few weeks. He completed a really good re-conditioning session last week and completed main training today, so he’s available for selection this week.”

     

    Then he plays v swans

    listed as injured before dogs match

    now 12 weeks later 

    Charlie’s achilles must be a problem.  
    “he’s had an intervention and will be off legs right now “. 

    what happened? ruptured ??? Strain would be a few weeks so this is a huge setback again to be having an intervention

    Not sure what intervention meant.  I also thought surgery but usually they say so.  It’s a mystery still imv

    I notice that Luker Kentfield is NOT on this list but was rumored to be carrying an injury.  
    Any inside info anyone? Has he trained?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
