I suspect Spargo has achilles tendinopathy. It’s a pain in the neck of an injury. I’ve battled through it for a decade, being a competitive runner. Generally it’s an ‘over 30s’ injury so he is very young to experience it. It can be season ending and career threatening. 

Out of interest have you ever had plantar fasciitis?

Thanks

 

Would love nothing more than a fit Jake Melksham for the run into finals. He’s a class player, great defensively and has a bit of X factor about him.

Interesting to think we may have both Mc Adam and Melksham at the back end of the year. Looking forward to seeing both of them and how we use them.

There isn't a spot for Turner, but he'll be good depth.

He’s an obvious replacement if TMac goes down. I can’t imagine TMac playing every game. Turner will get his chance but he’ll need to grab it with both hands 

As far as I have seen, Turner for TMac is not like-for-like. Turner is a floating interceptor, not someone who could play on eg Harry McKay. And although I always hope for the best, so far he has done nothing in the one or two games he has played to justify pinning our hopes on him.


Turner is more likely to replace Lever or Howes if either are injured or need a break

Really? .

I can't recall how he went in his second game, but ny recollection is he was terrific in his first game until he had his jaw broken just before half time.

I think he will be a gun. Smart, quick off the mark, competitive and zones off well.

And whilst I agree he can play an intercept role now, ultimately i think he will become a key position defender.

He's 6.5 in the old and given he is only 22 will fill out in the next few years.

Bowey is now nearly 5 weeks from when he did his shoulder. An 8 week injury they said....

Yet he's still 5-6 weeks away?

 

I reckon they are going conservative. Pretty sure Turner is 2-3 weeks ahead of their original timeline.

I have a completely different recollection of that game.

Disco will be a big part of our backline in years to come. Has been crazy unlucky with injury. 


I think Turner plays a bit like Tom Stewart from the Cats. He has good pace, marks well at the highest point and kicks well. I would like to see him play on smaller players in the VFL, because he is going to need to play alongside May and Lever in the AFL team.

Turner needs a run of AFL games to get up to the speed of the game, but I think it would be a good investment.

turner was terrific in the final round against the bloods at the scg and him being dropped for the final the fortnight later was a bit of a surprise

i'm very confident he will be a very important player for us going forward

I have almost zero faith that we’ll see much of McAdam ever at this club. He may string a few games together but my mail is he is extremely injury prone.

Sorry but how is this mail? Injuries are wildly reported as they were when he was in Adelaide and now at Melbourne

Strongly disagree. He’s going to be a pillar down back once he gets a run at it

I like Turner, but I think his issue at this stage is he struggles on the gorillas, so I'd be having him play on the big boys at VFL level. Take the biggest opposition forward.

It's why I tend to agree with @Ollie fan and @Jaded No More that he's more likely to replace Lever or Howes. 

This is not to say he won't be a good KPB when he puts on more muscle and gains greater strength.

I think Turner has already shown he can do well on the big VFL forwards. But there is a big gap in class between AFL and VFL.

Yeah well suspected as much, but unless more damage was done last night, this should have been done SOONER🤯

Post the PA win if we were a bit smarter

Another fail by the footy department, going to miss ever more games on top of offering nothing that last 2 games. Could have been fit and ready to play tigers after the bye if we were smart

He [Turner] was concussed fairly early in his first game

He was badly mismatched in his second and did ok in his third. 
 

I still have a very open mind regarding his potential and his future.

Footy department, medical department, Clayton himself or the vagaries of the human body’s response to injury???

Pretty sure they’ve said he won’t miss any football, provided all goes to plan

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
