Xavier Lindsay will be a star. Showed it in his first two games already. Fingers crossed on his knee scans!

As many know, I posted numerous times last year that he was the player that the Dees needed. Has footy IQ, good pace and ballwinning, with elite skills. Imv Worth trading out our 2025 pick. What was strange was the add-ons in the trade. I think gave up too much

Bombers - pick 9 plus 2025 third-round pick to Melbourne.

Dees -2024 picks 28, 40, 46, 54 & 65 PLUS first-round pick in 2025.

We only had 3 list spots last year. We took Langford and Lindsay, and then AJ at 68.

So at most we could have used one of 28, 40, 46, 54, or 65.

And if we had decided we needed a mature body ruck option as one of our list selections, then we weren't going to use one of the early picks on someone better than AJ. So we are better off trading these picks under value to get something we would use.

All that being said, I reckon we could have tried to keep one of them and traded into this year's draft for points. But given theis is obvious to me, we probably tried it but there were no takers.

Fantastic news.

(For the MFC good news is bad news that hasnt happened, and I'll take that.)

 

Who else thought that it was going to be the most Melbourne thing ever had he tore his ACL..

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.

Nah, in this day and age, and amidst all the current angst in the world and totally bad luck, it is definitely a sign of Trumpitis.

Guilty as charged.

Things are crook when hearing a bloke isn't as injured as he might have been turns to be my footy feel good story of the weekend

It is good news of course but an MCL can still be several weeks, right? Seem to remember Gawn missing a few weeks from one and Salem missing half a season, but my memory is hazy!

Melbourne will assess Lindsay during the week and don’t expect him to miss much football if he doesn't prove his fitness in time for round four.


It shows you where we're at right now that probably the only two good things to come out of this weekend were Langford's game, and this news that Lindsay's injury isn't major.

I was looking at the positives. Trac, Gawn and Lever all went alright in our premiership year

This news really brightened my day. Although, to be honest, I'd already been buoyed when on Sunday morning, during my kid's praccy match (during which I was sulking silently on the boundary, thinking about Saturday's debacle) I overheard another parent proclaim that the reason for Carlton's start to the season was they were "too woke".

A fellow Carlton supporter, apparently able to comprehend what he meant, said "Except Patrick Cripps..." and the bloke responded. "No, he's woke as well."

I quite literally had to stifle a laugh.

Immediately brought to mind the "this engine is woke" meme.

Some Good news scans have cleared Xavier of major structural damage to his Knee. Diagnosis: Medial ligament strain.

It wouldn’t have happened at Carlton if John Elliot was around!

Add Casey's encouraging performance. Talls and Smalls; Daniel 'Disco' Turner, Jed 'Jethro' Adams, plus Tom 'Cream' Fullarton. Bailey 'Bill' Laurie and Kynan 'Pup' Brown. All showed some promise.

No, but spending over their salary cap happened when he was around and that's largely why they have been so bad since.

Thank goodness for Carlton. At least we have something to laugh about.

A can of Melbourne Bitter would be appropriate


Look, I realise that this is meant to be a Xavier Lindsay Update thread but we now have the update.

Just one more to help ease the pain, Demon fans.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • 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.
