I saw Col Garland being assisted off the field in the last quarter - can anyone explain the injury?

    Stupid SEN gave me this.... "Col Garland with a medial ligament". That's it.

    SEN are dead to me with their crap reporting. That could bloody well mean anything! :(

    Edit: should note that I saw him jumping up and down on the boundary and he walked unaided on the field after the game. Still could mean anything.

    Hope he is ok, he fights so hard, Buddy kicked 2.6 last week against Davis from Adelaide and everyone lauded him. We gave over 70 I50s away and Buddy kicked 2.4.

    After Lance Franklin had out-marked Colin Garland in a wrestle, Brad "the Genius" Johnson goes " Buddy would win 9 out of 10 of those."

    I'm like "Hey doofus, there's been three of those so far, and that's the first one he's won. Looks more like 3 out of 10 of those to me."

    In other words, Judy's a gun and I hope he's okay.

    EDIT: Don't you hate it when the commentators go "so-and-so's coming off with a knee." I would hope that everyone comes off with two knees. You'd think it'd be unlikely that they'd lose one while playing.

    Looked to me like he rolled his ankle, but I'm not sure.

    I did notice at one stage late in the 3rd when he ran towards the bench, labouring to get there... then was waved back onto the field because the guys on the bench were still recovering and none were ready to replace him.

    He stayed out there another few minutes and looked completely cooked when he did run off.

    I'm pretty sure his fatigue could easily have contributed to the injury.

    I also think the rest of our players were exhausted, and it might take a decent period of adjustment before we learn to cope with the new loads on players.

    With the new interchange rules, we may even find our gameplan and the way we defend will need to change, as we seem to be running ourselves ragged well before the game is near it's conclusion.

    I also saw Jetta and (iirc) Martin cramping late against the swans.

    There is a large element of "suck it and see" with the changes; the way we manage loads will evolve over time, but as yet it is the great unknown.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
