Nine shocking AFL injuries

This article reminded me of Jeff White's injury/attack from Steven King in 2006 (maybe because it's in the article) and it brought back a few memories of the game...poor Jeff. Five plates, fourteen screws, and a shitload of blood puring from his face as I remember. I was level one that day and I remember the cracking sound of King's foot - he should have been suspended.

Here's the article: Link

It's a pretty good article, I suggest you have a read/comment/whatever :D

Anyone else remember any other injuries? I'm surprised Caracella didn't make the cut

    I was level 3 behind the city end goals and I heard it.

    I never got over Thompson saying he couldve broken King's foot. Argh!

    Oh, here we go. Another 'big tip' link. Stop promoting your own crap on here.

    So, are you saying we should not provide links to any articles in any press as well? After all, that could be considered the promotion of major media interests.

    I found the article to be interesting and relatively informative.

    My name is Ethan. That's not the name of the guy who wrote the article.

    If I find/write anything related to the Dees it might as well go on here...this is a forum about the Melbourne Demons after all

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
