Out for another 2 to 3 weeks according to reports through the week.

Was left out of the team due to "soreness" and now looks like missing at least 5 or 6 weeks.

Can we slap a wig and some stilts on him and present him to Freo as Jesse.

We'd have to teach him to skip.

Yes Barry I can be precise, the session barely went for an hour, the usual routines, not much to report really. No Spencer, no Dawes, no Brayshaw, didn't see Trenners or ANB for that matter but I may have missed him. The Prince running laps. Some on the injured list were there, e.g. JKH looking fit and Vanders as well. Didn't notice Oscar either or Dunn but I am not great at picking up everyone on the field.

No idea what actually went down, however a photo of him him popped up on facebook in hospital after the game when went out with 'soreness' the following week. IIRC he had the full emergency department kit going on - ECG monitor etc. 

As an early guess might've have a busted/bruised ribs +/- lung injury, or a back injury which would explain the absence but not the quiet treatment from the club.

Pure speculation/Crazy brain ticking over here thinks possibly an undisclosed/undiagnosed medical condition might have popped up. The club possibly should get on the front foot and let people know what's going on, or perhaps not as well - he will be back when he's right.

There was a pic of him in hospital due to his ribs so definitely more than "soreness"

Poor bloke. He got injured at a really bad time. I imagine this team will be even harder to get into in a months time.

He could bolster the scorps in the meantime.

Tenuous segue/not sure where else to put this . . .

As mentioned in another thread, I took a historical tour of the Norwood Football Club during the week. One amusing anecdote to emerge concerned an interstate match between the Redlegs and a very fancied Carlton outfit in the mid-70s. The Legs' coach at the time had all their forwards switch jumpers right before the game and line up together at CHF - with the assumption that their opposition had only studied the numbers rather than footage. Norwood scored a 10-goal jump on the Blues by half-time

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
