    This was flagged earlier in the week by a poster.  Can’t remember who it was.  From memory they said it was only a minor tweak.  Hopefully it’ll only be a couple of weeks as opposed to 4...

    Does that mean your available for selection?

    It’s not this week that hurts so much but next. Usually hammies aren’t a one weeker so it may go to two, then it’s a flight to WA which isn’t great for them either. Unless it’s the tinniest hammy ever I think he misses a few.

    He played out the game so it can't be that serious.

    The cynical part of me thinks that that we are coming up with an excuse for resting him without appearing to be complacent against a weak side.

    I strained my hammy earlier this year and missed 2 weeks,. If you do everything right in terms of rehab and conditioning then you can make it back in 2 weeks instead of your usual 3-4..

    My biggest issue is why did they send him out again when they knew he strained earlier on...?‍♂️

    Our medical team annoys me..

    If it had to happen, I'd rather it now than in a few weeks time. 

    Rest up Milkshake. Time to unleash AVB!

    We have been told all year that if they have the slightest niggle, they go to the rehab group. Funny how that continually proves to be an untrue piece of information.

    Yeap, not sure he will be back under 4 weeks. Can’t wait for the review into training side of things.

    It's difficult to go into rehab in the middle of a match which if we lost it would likely mean we miss the 8.  A judgement might have been made that what you have been told all year (really?) is out of date.

    Dangerfield missed 2 weeks (the week after JLT and round 1 this year) with a very minor strain so I''m using that as a guide. So he'll surely miss the crucial Sydney game which is a pity.

    Unless Smiley Misson is bull crapping about it only being 'minor', expect him back for round 22 V's WCE.

    So lets risk a player injury to try and make finals?

    No thanks! We tried that with Jack Viney and it backfired terribly. Hes lucky he didn't tear his hamstring!

    Should have put him on ice when they first alerted the problem.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
