That's an awful injury list. The midfield was looking thin even before the Beasley injury. 

I guess a small (obvious) silver lining is getting to try players we may not have had Beasley, Mackin, Purcell and Paxman been available. 

Note to self: Time to put a line through some of the greater expectations for this season and settle back into the pre-2021 MFC supporter vibe of celebrating the 'little wins'. Actual wins are going to be hard to come by.

Dees only have 2 emergencies for Saturday, youngsters Johnson and Madigan.

A condensed draw with 3 games in 10 days will surely see more injuries. The AFL may have kicked an own goal here.  

Collingwood similarly suffering from lack of player availability.

If we are allowed to add further injury replacement players, Casey BnF winner Meg McDonald, while not quick, is a ball magnet with AFLW experience and would enhance our current list balance.

Reinforced.

Confirmed: add Mackin and Zanker.

Do we have the longest and/or most impactful injury list in the league?

Yet the TV commentators all only on Sunday carry on about Cwood who have had 3 home games and an easier draw.

A bit understated about our severity.

Certainly so, if it were to be published after today!


Horrendous injury list.

No team would be able to make finals while missing so many top liners.

Impossible. Crazy decision to have such a compressed fixture and not expand list sizes.

After Sunday's meaningful reinjections, only Pearce, B Mackin - both 'prossible' for Round 9 - and Colvin remain as returnables. Four 'Seasons' (thanks Signor Vivaldi) round out the list. After our young team's darkest hour, sneaking up on finals now?

  • 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.
