I didn't know this before but I heard on the radio earlier today that the Dickmond player , Rance ,who crashed head first into the Loins' Selwood on the weekend ,with disastrous consequences , was the same player to help cause Brad Green's broken jaw earlier this year .

Karma ?

No. Just part of the game.

Both incidents were accidental and we shouldn't wish the kid bad.

You're probably right , but it's ironic just the same .

I wouldn't have thought so, he just hurls himself at the ball - a trait that is usually loudly applauded.......

Green hit his shoulder, after doing the same thing more or less, and came off second best and that was unfortunate but no-ones fault

The Rance-Selwood hit was awful to watch and Alex has suffered the consequences this time, maybe that's ironic, but personally I hope he makes a full recovery.

And I also hope that he doesn't change being a gutsy courageous player, just maybe with a few less casualties!!!

Rance shows no fear and runs straight at the ball with his head down. Credit to him its certainly brave but he may just have to watch it in future. 2 facial injuries in a handful of games isnt a good start.

True, but I don't think Rance was injured in the Green hit though........

Poor Brad was the only one who wore the full brunt of that one unfortunately.

No karma here, just another example of some incredible guts from a kid that knows no other way to play.

The Selwood incident was an accident, just as the Green incident was.

I wouldn't have thought so. Both Rance and Green had eyes for the ball. It was hardly intentional on Rances part. Could have easily been injured by Green as Green was by him.

I hope the kid makes a fully recovery and is back throwing himself at the contest once again. He's definately one of very few Tigers worth watching.

Just another example of some incredible stupidity from a kid who was never taught not to lead with his head. Once again we see the results of the AFL's attempt to protect players' heads. More head injuries.

Ageed. The kid values the ball more than himself. What more could a coach ask for?

If with a corrupted mind we should either think or act, then suffering follows that.

If with a wholesome mind we should ether think or act, then happiness follows that.

If Rance tried to get Green or Selwood injured, then it would be Karma.

Nice post

I like that

I does make me wonder what the "right" frame of mind would be in a competition sport where people try to out do each other, not talking about the collisions here, just the frame of mind that it takes to beat an opponent. Prime example is in cricket where players hugely celebrate the dismissal of an opposition player

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
