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

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.

*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.

May Out this week and return TBC. 

Windsor in a Moonboot and his foot infection will be monitored. TBC. 

 

what the hell is Windsor doing with his feet....

Can someone setup an account with FeetFinder.com to work this out?

Is that the spider bite rearing its head again? 

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.

Jake Lever — ankle / test
Steven May — larynx / test
Jake Melksham  — hamstring / test
Marty Hore — calf / TBC

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
