    Was mentioned in one of the other topics. Surely there'd be no surprise there, the guy tries hard but gets injured a lot. If he wasn't retiring then I doubt he'd get another look at AFL level next year.

    I feel sorry for him because he's always shown signs but then, hey presto, he's injured again.

    And what the hell  has happened to AVB?

    Seems like he has slipped into the twilight zone.

    That's a shame if true, i really liked him, was a really good competitor and could take a really good mark. Some players just don't have any luck. wish him well if true.

    I still think Pedo should have been on our list this year.

    This would not surprise me. I really feel for this guy. We was the perfect 3rd tall option for us when fit but unfortunately for him and us he is one of the unluckiest men in football when it comes to injuries.

    Agree mate, hope they aren't true and we can at least get another year out of him. Always gets the best out of himself and I love what he brings.

    we have way too many injury prone players on our list. You can carry one project injury player maybe two but not the four or five we have.

    Would not surprise me if we were having serious discussions with AVB.

    Joel Smith is the other interesting one along with KK.

    I expect J Smith gets a guernsey because with the departure of Tim S and Kielty our forward tall back up situation is desperate. (Trading aside.)

    Wonder what ramifications Burgess will have for perma-crocked players given his reputation.  Some may see what DB could do first before I pulled the plug.

    Harry O, Trenners & Clark in recent times also DJ.  We seem to have a penchant of picking up players that are prone to not quite cutting the 'resilient' mustard.

    You can add AVB to that RN.

    I think T. Smith is going to give it one more year. I think he's well liked in the coaches eyes. Dec Keilty will most likely get the chop.

    Am still holding a glimmer of hope that Burgess might come to the rescue OD but it's not looking great eh.

    I have seen nothing from the club since the end of Feb. Looks ominous. It will be a shame because he is just what we need tough and talented.

    Tim Smith has played about 8-10 games per year over the past 3 years.  Often it’s a hip or calf or leg injury. Unfortunately he is another who would be a very good player if he could keep injury free. May be delisted or retired  

  • Quote

    Best of luck Bull, excitement of what might be when you first came in but injuries cruelled it all.

    (if he retires of course) 

  • Quote

    Sad. I’m not sure what you’d earn as a sparky but would it be far off what you earn on a rookie list?

    Agree 'Diamond'.

    It's really effected our depth, particularly this season with the added injuries.

    Officially announced. Ripper bloke, always gave his all, probably to the detriment of his body in the end.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
