Nine shocking AFL injuries

Eth
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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

    • 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.
