Fairly obvious Tommy Mac is not fit. Obvious in JLT 1 that he was not ready  to play a game. Had both ankles done in off season and should not have been targetted at JLT series.  Needed more weeks in preseason mode to build fitness base. Viney and Oliver, probably Jones in same boat. May too.

I'm not sure that's his fitness base,  'dmnc'.

I think he's to sore to run normally...  guessing,  as I heard he was jabbed in the ankle, or foot,  or toe,  on this weekend past. ???

I agree with you Re Viney and Jones, and I think the fact they played in Casey's practice match,  instead of our senior JLT match.

 

This business of pushing players to play coming off injuries is causing us major issues,

Gawn coming back to early a couple of seasons ago backfired.

Viney continuing to play thru the Plantar Fascia injury caused issues,  and then he came back far too soon.    Now maybe a chronic foot ???

Tmc's toe injury as well last year,  and now he's got ongoing issues...   and they're claiming he has ankle problems ?

 

I am having big trouble believing anything that comes out of the AFL clubs,  and their media connections.   They have Zero integrity IMO.

    It can always be worse. I doubt we will maje major changes. If only. We had Michael 'Juice' Newton then all would be solved. 

    Juice was a better mark than Weid.

    With the Sydney ground’s surface in a dangerously poor condition, would it be in the club’s interest to demand the game be abandoned and the 4 points shared ?

    It's bizarre in that Tom Morris from 3AW specifically stated that the AFL will play the game at the SCG regardless of how dangerous the turf is, as they don't have a contingency plan. Hard to believe it in this day in age of OH&S.

    He clearly hurt his left ankle last weekend when it twisted under him. It was caught on camera, so there can be no dispute about it.

    In the comments section Guthrie said he couldn’t spot KK, but admits it’s hard to look out for everyone.

    Ok.  I didn't see that,  BUT... he's been poor all this season thus far.  Coming off the back of  his toe issues.

     

    I say leave him out this week, for the sake of getting has physical issues sorted,  for the next round and the rest of the season. let them settle down.

     

    You can tell i'm a cautious type when it comes to real injuries.   I would rather give them the  'extra-week scenario',  than rush them in,  because it seems to me that whenever we rush players back in to play early,  there is ongoing ramifications  to the injury.

     

    We don't need to be too tall forward this week and its a monty that Preuss will come in.  Let him and Weide have the front half,  and drop TMc out.

    Lets go in small and quick, other than Preuss.    Bring in Stretch, Chandler, and maybe even Spargo   We need to control the ground ball at the SCG.

    Sorry Troy but the persistence and team spirit of a peanut.

    Glad you don't work for me.

    Imagine if the world ran to this schedule and standards.

    Team is at lowest ebb much has not gone right but I bet if we have a real chance later in year or do a Tigers and win next much will be made of this period and the reasons and resilience of our group.

    its never a straight line upwards and if we have what is a good group and confidence in our system coach and brand then it will overcome our injuries lack of form and things like frustration with umps inconsistencies on Friday night.

    We have got to be better than ever from now and all in together players staff and with supporters on board.!

    Two wins vs Swans and Saints can kick start our season then it's really in Anzac Eve against the stuttering Tigers.

     

    Don't worry about ever being my boss 58er. I would never apply to work in fantasy land.

    I do love peanuts though, so thanks.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
