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

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

    Damn he looked good giving us the run and carry we badly need last week...chance for Baker to debut now?

    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

    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!

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
