He was a good contributor in 2019, then was basically injured for the entirety of 2020 and 2021. We redrafted him and (shock) he was injured again for most of 2024.

What did we possibly think was going to happen in 2025, other than him being injured for most of the year?

At some point the club has to recognise that guys like Hore and McAdam simply aren't built to play AFL.

hore had a very strong season in the vfl in between stints at the mfc

maybe we're the problem

Sadly, Marty Hore is out for the season and beyond but there’s better news on other fronts.

Ollie Sestan was one week last week. What's happened? I want to see him pushing for ones again!!!

Oliver Sestan due to return after a lengthy lay off with a hammy.'

Injury List: Round 19

Oliver Sestan — hamstring / Available

Aidan Johnson — ankle / Test

Harry Petty — concussion / Test

Tom Sparrow —concussion / 1 - 2 weeks

Jake Lever — ankle/ TBC

Marty Hore — knee, shoulder / season

Shane McAdam — Achilles / season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / season

Thanks for the update Chelly, a bit sad for Rick that ankle/ foot issue has really affected his 2025, let’s hope they keep him out until it is back to 100%.

 

Time to put Lever on ice for the remainder of the season. Get him 100% right for day one of pre season.

I'd bring May back in for Lever and bring Petty back through the twos.

I also wouldn't be dropping JVR or Jeffo the rest of this season, unless through injury or needing a rest.

If they are both fit then potentially Petty can come back in as a key defender.

Oliver Sestan has incurred a further injury after recovering from a hamstring. He received a knock to his face at training resulting in a fracture to part of his face which required surgery. He’s expected to be out for four weeks.

Injury List: Round 20

Tom Sparrow — concussion / Test

Steven May — concussion / 1 - 2 weeks

Oliver Sestan — face / 4 weeks

Yesss, good to see a few coming back in. Hopefully Aiden Johnson gets called back Up after his strong performance, I love the fire and bullishness he brings!

Injury and Suspension List: Round 21

Steven May — concussion, suspension / 2 weeks

Oliver Sestan — face / 3 weeks

Jake Lever — ankle/ TBC

Marty Hore — knee, shoulder / season

Shane McAdam — Achilles / season

Andy Moniz-Wakefield — knee / season

Surely they can rule Lever out for the season. What benefit would there be to bringing him back in this year instead of having a look at Adams?

Despite a shocker of a year, one positive (I’m clutching at straws) would seem that we have had very few soft tissue injuries, or injuries at all if you take out those to AMW and McAdam. Which must put the heat on other factors of why we’ve only won 6 games. I know fitness is talked about ad nauseum but I just can’t fathom why a professional football club is not fit. Is it attitude to not go the extra yard when you are hurting, is it abdicating responsibility to other players who are on the big bucks but who are also not performing? Or is the answer a pineapple? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jack Henderson — groin / Available 

Steven May — suspension / 1 week

Oliver Sestan — face / 2 weeks

I thought May had now served out his suspension

He was suspended for three matches. This is the last week of his suspension.

Didnt that get downgraded to 2 weeks?

Jake Lever — ankle/ season

Xavier Lindsay — hamstring / season

Shane McAdam — Achilles / season

Matthew Jefferson is racing against time to participate in the finals campaign.

“Jeffo landed awkwardly in a marking contest,” Griffith said.

“While initially he tried to continue to play on, unfortunately the pain and function decreased.

“He's had a scan which is unfortunately showing that he's injured his big toe. At this stage, we'll have to determine his return based on how far through the VFL team goes in finals.”

 

Sadly Marty Hore is hanging up his boots. He won’t be going on next season. 😢

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
