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

    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.

    Jai Culley — foot / available

    Jake Lever — ankle / test

    Charlie Spargo — concussion / test

    Matt Jefferson — hand / test

    Luker Kentfield — illness / 1 week

    Koltyn Tholstrup  —  back / 1 week

    Xavier Lindsay — knee / 1 - 2 weeks

    Judd McVee — hamstring / 2 weeks

    Marty Hore — calf / 5 - 7 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?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
