Doesn't sound too terrible... light jog afterwards.

Dave Misson on the MFC website has basically said the AFL article is rubbish - Garlett will 'absolutely, definitely play on Sunday."

A bit of good news this week is nice for a change.

What seemed strange about Misson's statement was that he basically says Jeffy will definitely play and implied he'll play even if he doesn't train on Friday. I would have thought that wouldn't be the greatest preparation. Then again, I'm no expert...

Garlett must have wanted to get inside out of the rain !    If so,  maybe they should drop him,  if he didn't like the wet weather ! 

I hope I'm wrong,   & this is not a sign of laziness & cockiness in him.

Read my thread from three days ago on Gosch's Paddock surface quality.....if it was crappy turf he rolled it on, I'll take the blame for putting the mozz on him.....

What the Fk?

Do you seriously proof read before you post rubbish like FMD. And the fact is you have pot shot a player for no particular reason.

Idiot

ahh, g'day Idiot.

 

Tthe guy just turned his ankle, It  was retaped out on the paddock & then immediately sent for a straight-line run to test,  and after only 20mtrs he said its too sore.  I have to go inside.

 

...  now Misson says he's a definite starter.

 

I said I hope he is not getting lazy/soft already,  after his iffy time with the Blues.  and I said I hope I'm wrong.

You are wrong and a simpleton. Its quite obvious he was in a fair bit of pain and needed attention on. Its not laziness or soft its a fact.

To say he should be dropped because he might have faked is quite bizzare and one im not surprised it came out of your mouth.

FFS..

just putting a left field possibility out there,  just in case there is rot setting in..

 

We all around the club,  the coaches & us supporters in the social media,  have all got too far ahead  of ourselves, & last match this showed itself in our footy.

 

Today,  it sounds like jeffy couldn't get inside quick enough,  & all & sundry said,  'a bad roll of ankle'.   Now,  hours later our chief fitness man says all's clear,  100%.

I would be bustin' to stay on the park to get a full session in,  just as Trenners would.

 

.....  so all in all,  I think we should be guarded with jeffy,  just to keep him on his toes.  I think some observer said he played a good 15minutes last week.   leopards & spots, & all that.

 

It always concerns me when supporters start getting too far ahead, & the players here & feel this optimism during the course of they're week, out & about.  It does effect them.

  • 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.
