    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.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
