Confirmed by Ben Guthrie as a stress fracture in his tore.

Shocking luck! All the best bill.

Nothing worse than a fractured tore.

Such bad luck for him.  Puts in his best game for the Dees, then this.

Hope he hasn't been playing with a 'hot spot' ala Tom Mc early this year...

We have a bit of experience treating foot injuries.  So hope he is up and about quickly.

Edit.  Just read the Training thread and it seems he is out for the year ?

Dam I was hoping Stretcher would be playing in September like his old man...

Footy was tough then, and Steven was often targetted off the ball or as he kicked

Oh ffs what’s is with foot and toe issues/stress issues at our club?! 

I really do not know of another club who has so many players with foot/toe injuries as we have had in recent times.

That's a shame for him and us as we need outside run at the G. He was much improved Vs Freo compared to his form earlier this year and late last year.

Apparantly Oskar Baker's not ready, so who comes in to replace that outside run that Stretch provides? JFK? Tyson?

Dean Kent maybe? He played well at the G earlier in the season

Its now or never for JKH! Time to reward good form.

Hes been playing as an inside mid for 2 years at Casey.

Agree he deserves a shot but can he play the Stretch/outside mid role?

Hmm.  Given he's been dead for close to 55 years, i'd kinda doubt it!

much like the mfc, vaggy?

Hadn't connected the dots Daisy.  But, it IS a fact we've won just the one flag since the sad demise of JFK!  Any connection?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
