    Marty Hore's body is simply not made for AFL. I reckon he retires at years end.

    Sadly I think I agree...he cant catch a break can he.

    There will be quite a few moved on at seasons end I think, will be the biggest list re-set we've had in a while.

    Hore, Melksham, McDonald, Billings, Verrall, Woewodin & Fullarton I think should all be either retired/delisted at a minimum.

    We then need to be ultra aggressive on the trade/free agency table to replenish our list. 

    Have heard us linked to Oscar Allen and Kane Farrell, that would be a great start but we are going to need a lot more!

    I hope so. 

    You can probably add Laurie to that list of delisted/trade. Do the club give Campbell another year or does he retire?

    There is also question marks on McAdam as well and then the obvious one is Kozzie Pickett..

    Will Howes be given a deal ? OOC

    I think Laurie is contracted for another season, so I'm guessing he will be gone end of 2026 if we don't see big improvements.

    McAdam also has another year so I guess we will see how that plays out.

    The club will be desperate for Kozzy to stay, so I guess we will see.

    Campbell you could probably give another 1 year, basement bargain contract to as depth but we need to start scouring for longer term ruck options.

    Is Marty Hore made of paper? What a total waste of a list spot.

    Why do you even bother supporting this club? Everything is a disaster to you. 

    He fractured his hand (freak/acute incident) then has a calf strain without (AFAIK) a history of calf issues. It’s disappointing but not really that big of an issue.

    Yeah, but he (Poita) is right though. He had been delisted, then relisted. Why? If it is just for depth, give the spot to a young bloke

    He had been one of the best players in the VFL two years in a row, so deserved another crack. Unfortunately his body just keeps breaking down while on our list.

    I believe we have 19 players OOC, (18 if May has been extended). Quite a few of those are fringe players who we've been persisting with, so you'd imagine there'll be a few on the way out. 

    Equally, you have to bring other players in to replace them and we only have 3 draft picks, with 2 of those being in the 50's, so some work to be done.

    Yep, massive list problems looming!

    Jai Culley — foot / available

    Jake Lever — ankle / test

    Charlie Spargo — concussion / test

    Koltyn Tholstrup  —  back / 1 week

    Xavier Lindsay — knee / 1 - 2 weeks

    Judd McVee — hamstring / 2 weeks

    Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season

    Gee Culley’s come from the clouds. In the video Selwyn says he’ll play modified minutes in the VFL this week. The way our midfield’s going, we may want to call on him sooner rather than later…

    Kentfield and Tholstrup on the brink of doing the same next week.

    I'm really excited to see Tholstrup playing footy again, even if it takes a few weeks of VFL to blow out the cobwebs.

    As I said to mates before the season, if we have good luck with injuries, we should have a good year.

    Yep.

    So he has gone from "maybe he'll play, we'll see if we can manage it" to "maybe we should seek the opinion of an expert".

    The expert says he needs surgery, so he'll be out for 8 weeks.

    What in the actual F is our 'medical' team doing?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
