I wonder when Viney might move from TBC. Really starting to wonder if retirement is closer than a return…

On Paddy Cross, his work competing in the air was amazing, reminds me of Melky.

And on the ground SPC, he set up Chin for his goal in the square in the third quarter

    And this one does?

    Incidentally, people aren’t deliberately quoting posts three times in one post. When it was just Pickett Fence doing it we all thought yeah that’s soooo PF but it’s happening to several posts/posters; clearly it’s unintentional.

    Just trying to help

    Tomorrow’s injury report should be of interest with some questions arising from the last week or two:-

    • Daniel Turner’s hand injury. How close is he to a return given his importance as an emerging defender in the team?;

    • Changkuoth Jiath was injured during yesterday’s game. Reports say it was a calf injury which makes him a likely out for Sunday vs Gold Coast;

    • Jake Melksham was clearly hampered by what appeared to be an injury to his right knee in the VFL game vs Footscray last week. He wasn’t included on the club’s official injury list but his status remains a mystery;

    • Trent Rivers was omitted from yesterday’s game with the coach referring to an issue he was dealing with - another mystery;

    • Paddy Cross - reported on Facebook* that he’s had surgery for hand injury that will put him out for possibly a few weeks.

    * ALL ABOARD THE DEE TRAIN (Barb Kearsley)

    I think Ghosty got the latest at today's session on all but Melky. Straight from the horse's mouth (apologies to J.Longmire).

    Kentfield available and Turner a test. Great news!

    Jeffo and Johnson also available but wouldn’t have thought they would be a consideration for the Senior team.

    There's no way Viney will choose to retire when he's contracted until the end of 2028 on good coin. He'll take the whole year off if he needs to for recovery.

    AFL story stated that Cross is out for 4-5 for his dislocated thumb surgery… bloody hell.

    Not ideal for the young fella to start his career.

    I was so excited about McAdam when we got him, thought'd we got a good one but just has had the worst run it's terrible, for him most of all (

    Still hopefully we might see him at some point, really do hope so, wouldn't that be something if he just popped up ready to rock and actually was a player!

    Will not play a senior game in 2026 and will be delisted!

    Kade Chandler played one game in 2019 (against the Swans) - had just 7 disposals but made 9 tackles and broke a hand or finger.....maybe a nice parallel there.

    True, but when Clarry broke his hand he couldn’t and wouldn’t lay one tackle.

    Hopefully we get the Chandler version 😂

    Bad news re Paddy after a promising debut.

    Better news re Disco and Luker in particular.

    I just hope that Casey don’t have yet another bloody bye, and that Luker gets a run. If he performs could he ba a dark horse for debut in gathering round or Bears?

    Good news indeed.

    If Disco was available, reckon they’d call him up before Rivers/AMW?

    Kentfield in for JVR? I don’t think JVR is not performing but he’s not doing what he did R1, and maybe they look to give Kentfield a run.

    Does anyone know how and when Paddy broke his thumb?

    Nothing stood out in the replay.

  • Quote

    Kentfield, Jeffo and AJ will be a massive boost for the Casey fwd line!

    Hopefully Luker can play well and come in to ruck for us to Petty and JVR play their regular roles

    Maybe when he flew to spoil Weitering (JVRs kick inside50). If he didn’t, Weitering would have have the intercept mark. Cross spoiled, ball was crumbed by Fritsch for that AMAZING curling left foot goal 👏👏

    think we can afford to keep CJ out for a couple weeks.

    Give him 6 week to make sure he's cherry ripe for Casey.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
