As per the Casey thread - came off injured before half time with suspected ankle injury. Nothing confirmed as yet.

    Thanks for the vague bs. Why not just post what happened?

    Only mention on Twitter is treatment to his ankle. Nothing else.

    Edit: the Casey game day thread said he was done at half time. Pretty terrible thread title when most people don't read the Casey thread.

    If you looked on the Casey demons thread no one knows what happened. Thought I would get all the discussion in one place.

    Well if it's an ankle (in the current circumstances) that's good.

    Further (hopefully) it's just minor ( read "nothing at all really") and they just took him off as a conservative precaution.

    Please do tell the original thread title.

    Jon Ralph (FWIW) tweeted that it's a rolled ankle and apparently "potentially puts his AFL return back a week".

    Rolled is better news than broken. ?

    Has been rolled up and smoked by nearly every oppo defence this season

    season is already lost, no need to rush him back.

    A week off can only be a good thing for his knee imo.

    Agree. Relax. One more week off. 

    Back in Queens Birthday 

    Agree with the above to an extent, but FFS, can no a week go by when we actually get more players back than loose them to injury?

    I know finals are pretty much a goner now, but it would be great to see us be in a position to put a team of reasonable strength out on the park to start building some good form, cohesion and systems for next season.  As much as I'd love to see one or two of the lesser names we have in the side right now take their game to the next level, I feel like the team as a whole is being held back by not being able to get a critical mass of quality players out on the ground at the same time to tip us over the edge from just hanging in games, compared to being truely compeditive.

    I guess some setbacks are to be expected for players comming back from long term injuries, but this one seems to be somewhat unrelated to the original injury and just a further demonstration that we just can't handle a trick this season.

    Latest rumour suggests his foot is to be surgical removed above the knee and replaced with a bionic toby greene kicking leg.

    Had a better forward line when they were smoking on game day...

    I used to love this dude as a kid. He was honestly the best mark but THE worst kick Ive seen at the club . Pull in a screamer and then regularly miss from close in direct in front.  Would put petracca to shame re how many misses hed conjure up from 20-30 metres. Funny in hindsight they still feel the golden years...even though we never even played finals. Hardeman, Wells, Alves, Biffen, Keenan, Bourke, Davis, Molloy, Tilbrook etc. The team is still clear in my mind.  Guess it was the age I was.

    He went to the bulldogs and first game against us he kicked a bag from everywhere. I remember one went through from outside 60 m at the top of the posts. My Dad and I were there at the G spewing.

    FCS you blokes. I keep coming to this thread hoping there is information on Lever and all I get is people wallowing in nostalgia.  Must be a thread for that somewhere else? Please.

    I recall some of the pack marking but the goals were very sketchy so that might explain it Wells ty.

    My most vivid memory as a kid was the last second chugging of a shortish stick..just before the siren and stomping the butt into the ground as it went off before the first bounce.

    Sue this is critical stuff.  Surely this helps somewhat with understanding the culture that made us who we are today!?? And besides, it does involve the use of ankles ?

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
