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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
