I agree. Misson and co. should have reinforced Hogan's collarbone with a steel plate before he took to the field. Poor planning. And I hear the anti-oxidants in rooibus tea are good at preventing cancer. I don't know why they persist with water on game day.

Better than drinking your own bath water l guess

They should wash the players' mouths out with soapy bathwater anytime anyone is caught dropping the F-word.

Add Joel Smith.  Our bad run continues 

Poor guy

And (didn't see or hear the game but ABC suggested Mumford took to  the biff) was Max concussed?

Melbourne Website has a story titled "SMITH SIDELINED - Joel Smith will miss the remainder of 2017 season with a knee injury"

Unfotunately the link doesn't open so I don't know if it is just this season or is a reco. Anyone know any more?

8-10 week injury, no damage to ACL, just a crack in the tibia.

Thanks Demon77. As bad as that is so happy that he will hopefully get a good crack at it next year.

Pun not intended

If that's the official injury list then does it mean Oscar McDonald's ribs have come up OK?

......and Viney on crutches just 'precautionary'?

Bringing him back quickly must be taking a toll, I really hope it's not doing him further damage. Courageous as he is. 

Tom Bugg might be a chance vs the Lions if we want fresh legs. 

I think the plan was to bring in Watts and Salem and rest another couple of guys, but Salem screwed that up with his stupidity. 


Excellent news on Jesse Hogan. Greg Denham in The Australian today says Jesse has made a miraculous recovery and could play this week-end if he gets through training this week and gets the all clear from his surgeon. 

Doubt Hogan will play. Viney has been on crutches after every game since he came back and there's been a news report about him "being in doubt" each time bar last week vs GWS.

Surely the source is the Demonland podcast?

 

I'm pretty sure in Dave Missons report he said he was back training but a week or two away. 

 

It would be huge we're Jesse to be able to return so soon AND have a big physical influence.  Sounds too good to be true, so probably is.

Why is Kent's shoulder only now being operated on? 

There has been scant info re Ken'ts injury. The club went to ground. Now its revealed he will have surgery? Something fishy here...

We were hoping he could manage the shoulder so he could be back to play this season.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
