Does anyone have any idea if and what the skipper is carrying ? He was good yesterday without been a standout. He just doesn't seem his usual self the past 2 weeks, obviously his entitled for a few quiet games and his set such a high standard that we expect so much from him. Just seems a bit down atm, I did notice around his left shoulder with some tape/strapping under his jumper.

Btw I'm not having a dig at him, just curious to see if anyone's heard anything

    There was a rumour going around he's had the flu for a couple of weeks.

    That could fit the bill No obvious physical ailment but clearly not at his best. (although better this week)

    Looks like he was having injections or some sort of treatment because his shoulder had a bandage which didn't look like it was doing a structural job.

    He looks sick so flu would explain it.

    I agree that he just doesn't look well, so flu could be an explanation. We'll need him fit and firing against the Tiggers.

    Still has that kamikaze attack on the ball even when not 100%.

    Against GC early in the last quarter he had his arms pinned in a tackle, took him a while to get up & looked sore, it was on his left side, no idea if that's the problem thou

    I noticed on the telecast at half time in the rooms that a physio was working on his left shoulder (which was strapped) and neck.

    Flu would explain the lethargic efforts vs GWS and while he improved last week was still down on his normal output.

    Have it on decent authority that his issue is to do with a his back/shoulder, had a bit of strapping there on the weekend

    The flu could be a vague excuse leaked by the club to hide the nature of something more bothersome. If opponents knew he had a crook shoulder he may get the Ablett workout. He is NQR at the moment but still solid last week.

    maybe he is just adapting to his new role; & maybe he is copping even more attention from the opposition. perhaps he could do with more of a 'chop out' from his team mates?

    The last 3 years of carrying this club must of caught up with him!

    Definitively playing through pain barrier. Told he's having pre-game injections and half time - but obviously club are keeping issue under wraps.

    Heard from the same source that Tmac has rib issue but will push through. Brutal game.

    Yeah, I was at the light training session on Friday at AO and also the game on Saturday...

    A fair few times I noticed that Jones was almost at a walk once the play had left his area... I believe the shoulder/back issue may well be bothering him, but I would almost bet my left knacker that a flu would be the main cause of his lower than usual "awesome" output... Just didn't seem right even on the Friday... Did a few light run throughs and was actually quite 'nasaly' when giving my lad a signature...

    As for T-Mac... He copped a dirty one from Richard Douglas right in front of us... The Crows can bang on all they like about Bernie's tactics, but they gave a fair few cheap shots on the weekend!

    Speaking of Bernie... I have some serious man love for that bloke now! :)

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
