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!!!

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

 

Injury List: Round 10

Jack Billings — calf / available

Jake Lever  — ankle / available

Jake Melksham — soreness / available

Ricky Mentha  — concussion / Test

Harrison Petty  — concussion / Test

Taj Woewodin — ankle / Test

Jack Viney  — concussion / 1 - 2 weeks 

Marty Hore — calf / 3 - 4 weeks

Shane McAdam — Achilles / next season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / next season 

Marty Hore listed as 5 - 7 weeks on 1 April. More than six weeks later he is listed as 3 - 4 weeks.

It is such bad list management to keep fringe players who are never available to play.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    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.
