    I was appalled to see Jesse Hogan hyperextending his back on a video clip shown on TV Channel 9 last night. That is the worst possible thing to do for anyone's back let alone someone with an injury. Who on earth has told him to stretch that way??

    Is he injured?

    Didn't he say he'd recovered from the injury and now just had to get his conditioning right?

    Honestly, if you're going to troll, you need to try harder.

    This is not trolling. Nobody should be stretching their back like that.

    Viv's out for 4 with a busted jaw.

    Oh ok, only 97% of your posts are then.

    Anyway, I saw nothing wrong with the way he was stretching.

    The fitness staff obviously saw nothing wrong with it.

    Maybe you should pop down the club and offer your chiropractic expertise..?

    I don't see why you are being unpleasant. I'm a doctor and I'm concerned that he has been given the wrong advice. I will contact the club directly.

    I've seen enough of your posts to know what you're like.

    Because I tell the truth whereas the others on here can't face the truth.

    Of music? Optometry, Biblical Studies perhaps Doctor of Practical Theology

    I don't doubt your concern, but I think the club medicos have a better handle on Hogans condition than the rest of us.

    Witch Doctor are you, statement or question?

    Dawes back this week.

    I just re-read this. Does it mean this week he has injured his back?

    I can't either.

    Which reminds me. I had to laugh hearing Malthouse say he didn't see the loss against the bombers coming. He really was Neelds mentor wasn't he.

    Officially -

    Chris Dawes (calf) – available
    Colin Garland (ankle) – available
    Max Gawn (hamstring) – test
    Jesse Hogan (back) – 4-5 weeks
    Viv Michie (jaw) – 4-6 weeks
    James Strauss (foot) – available
    Luke Tapscott (hamstring) – 1 week

    With Max Gawn a possibility to return, that makes four blokes who could be available to play for Casey against Geelong. Almost worth the drive to the Fields.

    And they're far more definitive about Jesse Hogan - instead of TBA, he's now a 4 - 5 week proposition which makes his back marginally better than Viv Michie's jaw.

    It will be far more fun than the G on Saturday WJ

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
