Given he is one of our best field kicks this is terrible news 

Courageous act with undeserved consequences - speedy recovery Jake

    The only player to play Bowsers role is Salo. We're missing Gus big time already, he could've plugged in either position in the midfield or half back.

    still think we need salem more in midfield than defensively

    we'll have to cobble a back 7 together out of may - lever - tomlinson - rivers - howes - mcvee - one other

    windsor to be a sheezel across half back?

    hore to resume his afl career?

    woewodin or pup brown to emulate their dads and kickstart careers as defenders?

    Let’s see what Hore can do……big big loss, at this rate we’ll be fielding half a VFL side soon enough

    Wait what? Are there more injuries besides Bowey, Petty, McAdam, Hunter and Melksham? Did we get more injuries in the practice match today??

    Figures. It could have been an AC reco, so I suppose it’s not that bad. But collarbone surgery is as bad as it could get for a collarbone.

    One tough cookie is Bowey.

    I wish we could play him in the fwd line at times.

    This season is starting to suck already.

    He'll be back in time for the late season surge.

    Will be missed horribly in the meantime. Climibng towards Neville Jetta levels of underrated, though quite a different player.

    No but we’re fielding a weak side. Try these names on for size Petty, Hibberd, Grundy, Bowey replaced by Schache, Laurie, Windsor and Howes. I guess what I’m trying to say is we can’t afford any more key injuries, Schache can’t play ever again. It really makes the non playing of Grundy embarrassing. There was a Flag up for grabs and we didn’t even pick our best side. All the club apologists over this preseason would  be mocking any other club who did what we did. Amateur hour. And yes I will keep banging on about it because we’re a rung below these clubs now and it’s hard to get back up. We almost need to bottom out and get some top picks.

    Windsor into the midfield and Salem back (once Hunter is back). 

    … and before Hunter is back?  Woewoden to HB perhaps. Snr started there as I recall.

    Agree Mono would love to see Taj play half back, I remember when Shane started out on the back flank he was very good.

    I thought he was one of pir better players before getting injured, and one of our most important disposers. I'd argue our most important now that Salem looks set for more midfield.

    Jake will be sorely missed.  
    Has he missed a game since his debut? Can’t recall any.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
