We seem to have a knack of first year players to the club doing their ACL.

    Bummer, he looked ready made enough to make an impact at Casey. The silver lining for him is he’s got a long time until next season and maybe the extra rehab and sidelines time can be used to work on his strength and some extra coaching time.

    For the team: we’re now have 2 list spots open, do we add a player before the March deadline?

    Horrible luck for the kid. It would be really tough going through that before you’ve even played a game and gotten into everything properly.

    Here’s wishing him a speedy and solid long term recovery.

    Terrible news. Absolutely devastated for Aaron.

    After all the excitment of being drafted and training with the boys with the possibility of some JLT appearances, I'm sure its a tough blow for the kid.

    Fingers crossed on his recovery.

    What a horrific blow to any young kid.  A real kick in the guts  

    Still, it will give him an extra year in the system to get stronger and wiser and perhaps hungrier  - Tracc has turned out more than OK.  

     

    PS. does anyone know how it happened? Fall? Twist? Poor surface?

    Terrible news, hopefully he can come back bigger and better next season.

    Why does it take three days for this news to be released? If it was an open session there would be posts on Demonland within a couple of minutes. What if it was a big name player, eg Tom Mitchell at Hawthorn? This club has to get much, much better at keeping members informed.

    Probably had scans either Sat or today. Club would've waited until he saw the surgeon today to get full picture. Can you imagine how it would look if they came out with full ACL reco news on Friday and the scans showed different?

    I'm only speculating, but perhaps Nietschke requested it not be made public until he had recieved all the info and spoken with the club.

    I personally don't have a pressing need to know the moment things like this happen.

    Having said that, had it been Oliver or Gawn they probably would've fast tracked the process and come out earlier.

    "Is Wagner a human being at all? He contaminates everything he touches" - Nietzsche. Perhaps it wasn't either of our Wagners he was complaining about, though. 

    More relevantly, Neitzsche also said "That which does not kill us makes us stronger". Even though it's now a cliche we've all heard before,  knowing it was a phrase originally coined by Neitzsche, it seems appropriate to include it here. Good luck to the young fella.

    It's hard enough succeeding at AFL level whilst remaining uninjured let alone starting off your career with an ACL injury. Wishing him a successful rehab and full recovery.

    Goodluck to you Aaron with your recovery.

    ...you'll be right kid.

    Well, the upshot is,  he certainly won't be one of those who takes things for granted when he returns.

    But, He will come back with a lot of AFL info, on preparation, game tactics, & his development from the Gym .

    [censored] me some people will be able to complain about anything the club does.

    It probably took some time for the scans to confirm it to be an ACL. Just like Jake Lever, whose prognosis was in limbo for a good day or two after he did his. Yes, Jake Lever, one of our highest paid players who did it in A REAL GAME.

    Let's be honest if they'd confirmed the news yesterday you'd be whinging about the club detracting attention away from the AFLW game. Had they done it straight away on Friday and it proved not to be an ACL then you'd be criticizing them for jumping the gun!

     

    As for the young fella, shocking luck! But he'll be like a new recruit in 2020. Best wishes to him!

    Predictable.

    Good onya Aaron.  Take your time, build it strong...  slow and steady is the way. 

    Don't be impatient with it.  You've lost nothing so far, accept potential numbers.

     

    Your time will come, and your games will come.   get strong.  ?

    What were they thinking? Surely it would have been more appropriate to buy him the collected works of Friedrich Nietzsche. He could start with 'The Birth of Tragedy' and then move on to 'The Case of Wagner'. What could be more appropriate than that?

    I don’t think he needs those books. Looks like the kind of guy that would be philosophical about his situation.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • 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.
