You don't muck around with concussion. Hope they take a conservative approach. 2 weeks is fine Grimes can come in for him & show us what he's got.

I noticed Roosy on radio yesterday, after the game said, the player recently had a number of head knocks. I found later he was referring to Jetta, to my surprise.

USD $1,000,000,000 for concussions in the NFL, this injury has been the elephant in the room for a while in AFL and I am totally happy for him to get over it properly. Was happy when Roos said straight out, he didn't pass the test, he's out.

Part of us improving is dealing with injuries, I realized for awhile I've been hoping for everything to align, the perfect team list, the perfect pre season, the perfect coach, the prefect draw, so we might squeak some wins....

Now I realize being hard at the contest as a team makes up for all of those things being NQR. I bloody loved the Richmond game.

a basic team that is hard at the contest, is the basis for an entertaining team & club. a foundation to build a culture, & to grow off of.

this is why I always liked Nev Jettas game, even without frills, he was one of the most honest players we've had over the last ten years; & we had a lot of front runners, & a lot of fancy dancers.

Howe was heading down the fancy this stakes.. lucky Roosy got to him hopefully in time.

Front running teams fold like a deckchair under constant team pressure, just like we used to do in the 2000 - 2012 era, when playing the better teams. and come to think of it, in the 90's as well but we had more talent.

AFL wanted in on the NFL research program. NFL told them to take a hike. Not really a classy move by the NFL, although I can understand it since the AFL would be chipping in such a relatively small amount to get access to their vast body of research and information. I just think it would have been a better look for them to say they welcome input and participation from any sporting organisation to reduce brain injuries across the board and not just in their own area.

Agreed. How does it benefit the NFL in any way to exclude other sporting codes?

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
