Wow. Lever Garlett injured over the bye weekend. ย Did we run out of cotton wool !ย 

Hibberd is fair enough. He came back too early and clearly wasnโ€™t right. ย Needs to get his collarbone settled. ย 

It may be the last of Jeffy gย

Quiet a statement there.

    Hahahahahahaha, I was *waiting* for the Hibberd came back too early call. I donโ€™t even need to read this forum to know what people are going to say. I think Iโ€™ve been here far too long.

    And Lever got injured in the Collingwood game.

    You could argue the following though:

    - Hibberd's plate coming detached could be because it hadn't healed properly.

    - Lever's impact injury could have been caused by his lack of acclimatization to the speed and impact of match day.

    Just saying...

    It feels like it! Just getting it all out of the way before next years shot. ?

    Doesnโ€™t sound like the Hibberd or Lever injuries are too serious, thankfully. I really want that backline to get a good run at playing together. It looked promising against Collingwood.

    Pretty uninspiring selections.

    My confidence in this team is the lowest itโ€™s been for a couple of seasons.

    So who will we draft with pick 1?

    Some poor little bustard who will have his boyhood dreams ripped from his soul and who will cry himself to sleep every bloody night when he hears he's going to the MFC.

    Plates donโ€™t heal. The bones heal. The likelihood of the plate being bumped out doesnโ€™t change with rest.

    Your comment on Lever is drawing an extremely long bow.

    Or could it have been when someone (canโ€™t remember who) ran across his leg in an attempt to smotherย the ball, on QB?

    T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

    and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.ย  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

    On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

    And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

    That's the point I'm making mate. See my post above for more clarity about that.

    You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
