    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.

    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.

    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?

  • Quote

    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? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
