End of the 3rd quarter, looked like he re-injured his ankle. Looked disgusted and punched the ground a couple of times.

Hopefully it's nothing serious but it didn't look good. He was playing exceptionally well before the injury too. :(

    The guy can't take a trick. Our backline just looks so much better when he's there. He played well, again today. Certainly hope it's not too serious!

    Classical case of being rushed back in... :(

    Not sure how you figure that. He played with Casey last week...

    He walked off with the other players after the game!!

    True. He was out, chatting to Barlow shortly after the siren. No sign of crutches at that point...

    was on crutches after the game

    Definitely not on crutches when coming off the ground, no ice, no strapping, just a small limp.

    Was he on crutches in the rooms?

    looked like a rolled ankle to me. there was no downward pressure on the foot.

    I originally thought he'd cramped up in the calf or something...but he definitely wasn't on crutches and walked off with the team.

    By the sounds of it he should be alright for next week. If it was anything serious they would have had him iced up and on crutches keeping off any weight.

    He will be very very important for us next week with the Tigers forward line.

    Not uncommon to be on crutches for an ankle as a precaution.

    He was effin excellent in that first half.

    Bailey press conference right at the end he is asked about Garland and Bailey said he should be right for next week. He just jarred it more than anything else and they decided that they had the sub there anyway so to rest Garland and use the sub. He didn't seem real concerned, just said it is a case of see how he pulls up in the next 24 hours...

    Thats good, I don't mind if he's not with us in Darwin, But we need him against the Tiges.

    How good was he looking before he went off? We're so much of a better team with him. He's really not far behind Chip at all as our most important defender, if he is at all.

    As for the injury, has anyone else noticed how many times he's been in the hands of the trainers, looking like he's done for the year, then he comes back on the ground and plays well... He's done it to me about 6 times where I've turned to my mates and said he's done... So I'm hoping the punching the ground is just another example of that.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
