Thankfully PCL and no surgery but with bad achilles now as well I'd say we've seen the best of CMC. Will be a big ask to hit those heights again and really the coach needs to take some responsibility for overusing him.

Incidentally Jordan Mason the no.2 is out of the season as well. 

I think he can get back to his best, but they should bring his snaps down some to help preserve him. Especially vs the Rams... 0 snaps every time :P

    He very well could Gorg but at 28 y.o it can be tough for a RB especially once those big injuries kick in. I'm sure he'll still provide great value, but his season last year was truly something else. 

    I'm actually not always a fan of having a sole RB and especially not in the offense we play. I really prefer a 70-30 ratio with someone like Mason predominately doing the 'meat grinding' runs. 

    Ever since CMC came here Kyle gives him 20-25 hand-offs a game. He's someone who likes to take his Ferrari off road driving..

    Agree on the sharing, We looked much better with Blake Corum getting a good amount of carries as well as Williams.

    Lions more beaten up, another 2 D-line missing and the LT, all ruled out.

    Packers could be a show this week?

    Yeah, I was close to tipping them, if I knew the outs I prob would have chosen them.

    Bengals, Bills, Seahawks

    If the Packers are going to feature prominently in the playoffs, we'll need to win this match against a banged up Detroit defence

    In saying that, Detroit still have plenty of weapons on their offense (averaging 32 points per game)

    Might be a shoot-out as the Green Bay offense has been quite reasonable this season

    RBs tend to flame out very quickly, especially following injuries, unless they are Derrick Henry. Most have about 4 years of domination and then fall of a cliff.

    Exactly right Gonzo, they can come and go like comets.

    The greatest RB of all time Jim Brown played 8 seasons. Barry Sanders 9, Terrell Davis 6 etc. I know there's longer term examples but it is a churn and burn lifestyle.

    Exactly 

    The Lions are playing like their defence is at full strength!!  

    The Packers 9 & 3 record is flattering as we've had a soft schedule

    Packers getting their run game going this drive. 1st and goal so great chance to get on the board.

    They (Detroit) are just a really good team

    Packers get the ball first in the 2nd half and have to score a TD ... field goals won't win this match as Deroit will almost certainly put up 30+

    goff throws the terrible pick to give packers great field position. Packers get the Td and just like that they are ahead.

    i'm feeling good about my smokey (if you can consider a 9-3 team a smokey)

    Campbell is too aggressive with his 4th down play calling. Lions fail to convert and hand the ball back in great field position.

    There's a reason no one else is that aggressive. it doesn't pay off overall. Cost the Lions the championship game last year.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
