Unfortunate for Tayla and if the team did  make it through to a top 4 finish you’d love to have her out there. But in what is shaping as a bit of a rebuild year it might not be so bad to get games in to some of the young talls or even go a little smaller and more mobile.

The output often hasn’t matched the reputation with Tay tay

She's been excellent. 

huge loss for the season. i hope she can fully recover. 

And i wouldn't mind if she gave the boxing away and focussed exclusively on footy. return to boxing post footy

 

No surprise. Didn't do a preseason. And chose a Nike sponsored trip to the Paris Olympics over her teammates.

If she wants to be a professional footballer, she should start acting like one

I didn't know this. Not a good look but according to the article was signed off by the club.

The list seems a little top heavy to Meggs.  Especially now we've lost speedster Aimee Mackin and gun mid Liv Purcell. 

There are 4 designated rucks on our list (Pearce, Campbell, Watt and Hose).  Mick also regularly throws Harris and Zanker into the ruck at times plus we have Georgia Gall, training as a lead up marking forward.

Replacement players should be quick, mobile, contested ballwinners, not more one-paced talls. 

Predicting that Mick brings in Georgia (Gall or Campbell) for Tayla.  But would prefer to see Pisano or Johnson.

Yeah I don't think 2 rucks are in our best 21, but they played both of them to ease the workload on Pearce through the early rounds of the season given how vital she is.

Ideally Tayla would be the second ruck which always got her involved in games and opened the forward line up.

I'd probably play Campbell if she's fit because she's a pretty special talent if they can get her to the level. But full well knowing that one of Campbell or Watt has to come out by the end of the year.

I'd like another crumber but that relies on them being any good. The best line is up probably Purcell in asap allowing Hore to play forward more as well as Hanks and Goldy rotating forward more too.

I'm also yet to get a full grasp on just what kind of player Wotherspoon is. Didn't do much against the Cats but there's a good footballer in there. Seems to have size to compete in the air but also ability on the ground and a good tackler.

Feel really sorry for Tayla and MFC right now, we can’t get a decent break with injured stars.


Tough break for Harris. Echoing the sentiments of others with hopes her recovery is smooth. 
 

would love to see Pisano in the side for a spark of a different type. 

Bloody hell, Norm - enough with the curse, already.

Let’s make sure we keep in touch with her throughout the surgery.

Is the Big Brother set on the Gold Coast currently being used? We should invest in that as a place our players can go to recuperate when injured.

2024 continues to be a fiery dumpster.

Hope you're recover well Tay and you're fighting fit for 2025

Agree...she looked good in patches last year.

...be good to see her get a clear run at it.


If you can tolerate the Andrews, Harris was on SEN this afternoon with Maher & Gaze. Topics covered include the shoulder injury, the Olympics trip, immediate future & an ambassadorial role she'd doing. She's a ripper.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
