Did I mishear or did he say his back was a bit tight / sore before the Geelong game?

Yep. I'm not going to crucify our fitness staff over it. They are highly trained doctors and physios, that can't stop guys playing every time one has a stiff back.

    I lost a bit of confidence in his early return after hearing him.

    Didn't sound real confidant in playing with Clarke and Dawes together in the first of the year either

    Salem looked surprisingly solid. Hogan said he is hoping to be back round 2 or 3 but can't lock anything in because they don't know

    How can Hogan be 'back' when he is yet to play a game?

    I am concerned re the being mentored by Byrnes comment...

    I'm not. Byrnes is a good guy. Came from a successful team. Still knows how to get to the right spots. Is still capable of tackling and some of the other hard stuff. If Byrnes is giving him lessons on kicking I'd be down right angry but I doubt he would be.

    I heard talk Cripps was about 191cm pre draft but now has shot up even more to about 194cm.

    Probably now a question whether he's too tall to be a midfielder. At the minimum I'd advise Carlton to take a long time with him. Midfield minutes in that big a frame could result in injury

    It amazes me, because when I saw Cripps play for WA v Vic Metro on a HBF I'd have guessed he was no more than 188cm.

    The kid has grown a lot in a short time.

    Yes very very disappointing to hear. Why the club would fly him up to Alice and play with a tight back is a utter joke. Should have just rested him plain and simple.

    This is starting to mount on top of the lack of information on our injured players. Maybe our medical team needs to seriously pull their fingers out of their ass and start looking after our blokes properly

    Or maybe he didn't tell anyone.

    Footballers do that.

    No he didn't.

    A poster on here - TGR - noted he was having his lower back rubbed prior to the Geelong game at a training session.

    The club played him and it was evidently the wrong call.

    It happens.

    We don't know when the tightness showed up.

    It could have been as he ran onto the ground for the warm-up, but at that stage it was just a bit of discomfort out of the blue.

    Hence telling a trainer and getting a rub before the match began, maybe it went away and they assumed it was fine?

    Jumping to conclusions with not much evidence is not a wise move.

    Criticise when it is deserved.

    i missed the footy show tonight. Is it true they didnt mention the passing of Dean?

    NOT TRUE. They did have a tribute to him leading into an add break. Was only short but a tribute all the same

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
