Poor guy has had a shocking run with injuries during his time with us.

    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? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I thought May had now served out his suspension

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

    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. 😢

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
