Really only McVee as a major loss from that list. Some good players in 20-28 but could be a lot worse

Good to see Hore is a test

    UNAVAILABLE FOR ROUND 1 

    SUSPENSION  Kozzzzy Pickett (available Round 4)

    INJURED
    Marty Hore (hand) — TBC 
    Jake Melksham (hamstring) — TBC
    Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — TBC

    Judd McVee (hamstring) — 4-6 weeks
    Koltyn Tholstrup (back) — 6-8 weeks

    Luker Kentfield (illness) — TBC

    Replaced on list- unavailable for the season 
    Shane McAdam (Achilles)
    Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee)

    If Milkshake gets up and about this year given all his injuries past and present, it will be a phenomenal effort.

    And I will add, a much needed one.

    At his best he is an absolute gun but he has always seemed to struggle to keep his form constant and play a string of many great games.

    I still believe his injury against the Swans cost us a flag.

    Yea, he's one player but he was in career best form when he went down in an already what was then  a much depleted fwd line.

    Jake Lever - underwent a knee arthroscope and shoulder surgery in the off-season, is tracking well and is entering into his final month of rehab. He will be in a modified environment after the Christmas break and is expected to be in full training by the end of January.

    Seems to be really struggling with his body.

    A bloke that has always gone exceptionally hard at the comp and seems to unfortunately be paying the price.

    I had to see a wrist surgeon about an operation recently and I asked about rehab. When she said, 'Four to six weeks' a chill went through me.

    UNAVAILABLE FOR ROUND 1 

    SUSPENSION  Kozzzzy Pickett (available Round 4)

    INJURED
    Marty Hore (hand) — TBC 
    Jake Melksham (hamstring) — TBC
    Charlie Spargo (Achilles) — TBC

    *Steven May - larynx - TBC 2-6 weeks 

    Judd McVee (hamstring) — 4-6 weeks
    Koltyn Tholstrup (back) — 6-8 weeks

    Luker Kentfield (illness) — TBC

    Replaced on list- unavailable for the season 
    Shane McAdam (Achilles)
    Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee)

    *Bizarre injury strikes again
    Premiership defender Steven May was a late out for the Dees, with club officials confirming the two-time All Australian had fractured his larynx in an incident at training on Friday. Freakishly, May becomes the second Demon to suffer the injury in a matter of months, with captain Max Gawn suffering the same injury late last year. Gawn took six weeks to recover, however Melbourne believes May's injury is not as serious. May was replaced in the starting line-up by swingman Tom McDonald.

    So we had 10 players out, 9 of whom have played senior footy for us.

    Didn't Windsor miss a few weeks of preseason with a foot infection?

    Would welcome a medico giving some insight into why this would take so long to heal then come back again some weeks later. 

    Hopefully it isn't like Oliver's infected foot in 2023 that just went on and on and landed him in hospital.

    Sheesh!  Don't antibiotics work any more 🤷‍♀️

    We need some luck on the injury front!!🙏

    First of all I’m not an expert but Spider fangs have all sorts of nasties venom or not. They can result in necrosis and in severe cases amputation of the affected limb. 
     

    Hopefully it doesn’t resort to that but some bite related infections  can hang around for a long time.

    Thanks.  I hadn't seen it reported as a spider bite ... not that it would mean much to me.

    Necrosis and amputation is dead set scary - hope he looks after himself.

    I'm not a religious person by any means, but I think I might go to a church and pray for his sole.   It's worth a try.

    Geeez we always seem to have a number of top 22 players missing 

    Whenever I look at other teams injury lists they have a list of players that I’ve hardly heard of 

    Surely we are due for some luck on the injury front soon

    Marty Hore back on the injury list is disappointing. Poor guy can't seem to catch a break.

    • 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
