He did walk down the race with the team after the game without crutches but had a noticeable limp.

Is it a suspected PCL, or similar? From a marking contest?

Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. It’s grim how much we’re missing him already, but such is life for us right now.

 

Hopefully he’s back soon, and becomes a gun, as we traded out this year’s pick for him. Or am I wrong about that?

Must admit when XL wNt down and was holding hi knee was a real downer.😢😪


Watched the replay and I’m not sure it was a contact injury. Appeared the ACL buckle. Hope I’m wrong as I’m a huge fan already

 

Goody's post game presser he said they were hopeful of it not being too serious but would need scans to confirm.

Fingers crossed for the young man.

That's unfortunately a bad sign....

Just watching the incident I reckon we’re in for some bad news which is a real shame.

Bah.. never before have I been so frustrated by the lack of information.

I usually fully understand that the club just want to get the scans know before commenting.

This one really hurts. Sitting here just fearing the worst.

MFCSS and Norm Smith curse strikes again. Already two in form small forwards done for the year.

Some of course won’t blame MFCSS but rather Goody, fitness staff, selectors, doormen, board, President or Jeff Kennett.

Goody said Medicos usually know from examination but they were undecided so they will rely on scans.

Line ball.

This was the case with Max last year from memory. Hopefully we have the same outcome. 🤞

Brain fade

 

If it is an ACL, it sucks for him and the team big time. It is clear as day, we are nowhere near contending this year.

If there is a silver lining, he'll be able to return still in season and put in a mammoth amount of physical and fitness work for next year.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.
