    Hope this is not true but a reminder that you never know whats around the corner.

    All the best laid plans of mice and men can come undone very quickly with injury and bad luck. 

    Even with strong depth you can never replace the genuine star, particularly a dynamo like Mitchell.

    Take care you Demons, may the football gods smile sweetly at you in 2019.

    A quick peruse of the Hawks bigfooty page tells you that they think they have no depth. 

    Their best player down and they’re calling it ‘season over’ already.

    Poor bloke has broken his leg. Report says he will miss the entire season.

    That hurts the Hawks a LOT.

    Hope he comes back well. Great player.

    No one wants to see this happen to any player. We had it with Lever. All of a sudden beating the Hawks has become just a bit easier.

    This brings O'Meara & $ullky to the fore in their 2019 season.

    We can NEVER underestimate the Hawks as a club.  They will fire up for us.

    This is what I'm hinting/alluding to.   Both those stars are hindered.   As are Burgoyne by age, and Roughy by age, as well.

    As much as I dislike Hawthorn, it's still horrible seeing this happen to a player. Hawks are going to struggle mightily without him.

    Seems like an innocuous training drill. 

    To pull or strain a muscle, even injure your knee can always happen, but breaking a leg is strange. Usually caused by a collision or forceful impact. Breaking a bone is not easy to do.

    Seems surprising given the circumstances.

    I wonder if it will affect his leg speed, not that he was tat fast to start with.  I remember Nathan Brown was never the same after his break.  Though I'm not sure how the two compare in severity?

    It will severely dent their chances this year as they transition from their older players to the next group.  Scully will be interesting as I think he was taken on as a longer project and not expected to play a lot this year.

    Does a year seem a long time for a broken leg? I thought they generally came on quicker than that.

    They will miss him. Really bad loss. Hope something like that doesn't happen to us.

    I wish Tom a full recovery, but i shall enjoy watching Whorethorn a man down all year. 

    That jumper has inflicted so much arrogant pain on me over many years....

    Leverage can be a powerful force. The wrong angle and even the slightest of acute pressure can end in many ways.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
