Was very lucky not to break his leg or even worse. I'm taking the glass half full approach. Could've been a lot worse.

    Not ideal but a sprain will quickly mend. No fracture or break is a positive. Should be good for early rounds.

    Not if by "high sprain" they mean Grade 2 or 3. Looked like a Grade 2 to me, thus the 426.

    "High ankle sprain" refers to a syndesmosis strain, which connects the tib and fib together. 6 weeks is standard for a stable syndesmosis injury as opposed to an unstable injury which requires surgery and months of rehab.

    You can shove Etihad where the sun don't shine.

    I'd like to know how many leg injuries we have received at that S**t hole.

    Based on injuries per game it would be quite an interesting statistic IMO.

    I am feeling that they are taking a VERY precautious approach to this injury. I'd say if we were playing finals, it may only be a 2 weeker...

    I'd say he is a fair chance for round 1.

    Just my opinion......

    Injuries like this will happen all season long....It's going to happen at all clubs

    The good thing is he may only miss 2 proper games...

    Very intersting Wreck, thanks. Given your knowledge can you advise if Blease, with that injury, will still be able to maintain his base fitness (by doing non weight bearing training such as bikes and swimming)?

    If only this was the NFL we'd just find him a monster ankle brace and send him out there like Ben Rothlisberger did.

    I hope he's back soon but when he's healthy and I like to think all injuries are partly avoidable and this one could of been helped by more talk to let Blease know he was about to get crunched. At least it came from a loose ball not a hospital hand pass.

    Spot on Boss dog but if you do the comparison on Petrol it was way cheaper than it is today.

    I can still remember the week I cleared $100 / week I thought I was set for life.

    Interesting that if you compare the cost of cars and petrol in the 70's

    Cars are much cheaper ( and Better ) now but Petrol is much more expensive.

    This will take you back OD - do you remember Nepean Hwy after mordialloc having 3 lanes - one lane in one direction and one in the other. The middle lane could be used to overtake by EITHER traffic direction as long as no cars were coming !!!!!! We used to call it the "suicide lane". I tell people this story and they dont believe me.

    Love that movie! Saw it after watching "Death Proof".

    Anyway Blease has a 4-6 week injury. So I suppose we'll see him ready to play around July...?

    Doesn't 4-6 weeks indicate a strike under the illicit drug policy? Joking btw

    Yes I do mate.

    Do you remember the traffic lights having big circles on top showing how long the cycle was before green changed to yellow etc.

    God I am old!

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
