Ah yes, my mistake.

I'd delete my post, but not possible on Demonland. Will have to settle for being publicly shamed for my ignorance.

Why not just edit it and delete the offending text?

“Simon Goodwin insists premiership stars Steven May and Kysaiah Pickett will be fit to take on Fremantle, despite the pair dealing with injuries.”

Sore pair under injury clouds, Goodwin insists winless Dees are 'united'

Well, that settles it. At least two outs for Saturday’s game.

Hopefully more than two Chelly.

Because it messes up the feed as it has already been quoted.

I like it when a post is reduced to a dot (.) and then someone comes in with 'Good Point'

Yes, and I'm sure most of us have gone to a lot of trouble (with a bit of rant) and then have the index finger hovering over the 'Submit Reply'

Will I, will I?

And then wipe it/delete!!!

I've written some beauty's and then thought better of it, Redleg

But every now and then I can't help myself haha

Did I miss miss something?

Last week, Tom Campbell didn’t play after he was on the injury list waiting on a test for his hamstring injury. Is he available this week?

Yes Selwyn said they held him back last week because of the shorter turn around this week, if that makes any sense. I’m assuming he is fit to play.😁

McVee and Jeffo available - but no VFL games.

Tholstrup not listed, so presume he's available as well.

Edit: My mistake, there are VFL games for Casey. Thanks to Distraction Jackson for calling me out.

Marty hore can't take a trick - retun set back with calf tightness.

Gee wiz, having a look through other teams lists it seems a standard hammie ping these days is 8-10 weeks.

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!

Mcdonald! He is playing some of the best football in his career you have to be joking. Milkshake is filling his role well we simply have no replacement at present.

I was surprised just how long it took McVee to get back to playing after doing his. I thought it was a 3-4 week injury.

I did send this in March... agree at this stage he has earned another year

seems to be more then norm for a tear to be 6-12 weeks these days

some still get the 3-4 week ones, then there's the one where they talk about surgery to re-attach the tendon to the bone - which truly sounds horrific - which can be up to 16 weeks

it's not a one-size-fits-all which i guess shows the improved treatment methods and more individualised approach to injury management

  • PREVIEW: 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.

  • 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.
