Why is there talk about an injury for AVB - did he cop one?

A poster is adamant AVB has busted his cheek bone and could miss weeks. He started his own thread on it.

    Knock on wood, but gees injury list is looking good compared to the last few years.

     

    Now I've probably gone and jinxed it.

    As an aside, how good is it not to have many injuries to senior players this season (touch wood).  Obviously credit has to go to Burgo and rest of the fitness / conditioning team - and there's also a bit of luck involved.

    This could be critical as the season gets on - injuries are definitely starting to play a role in a few teams fortunes.

    Especially critical for us, considering the fixture is going to be condensed and we are not going to get a bye like everyone else.

    Get that Nietschke is gorn for the duration but a bit sad that Hore, Petty & Kolo can’t get beyond the indefinite tag.

    That sucks about Kozzie, but hopefully the rest will help to keep him fresh. 

    Looks like we will go with at least two changes with Tom Mac being dropped.

    So we now have Gawn and Viney and maybe Pickett out of our best 22. Still should be enough talent to handle the Kangas (who are missing Brown, Ziebell and Cunnington).

    Pickett is playing

    X-rays showed no fracture.

    Would imagine he is pretty sore there though and might be a bit reluctant to crash in. 
    I am still a bit disappointed we didn’t bring in some more pace.

    Rivers, Pickett and Hannan all add pace.

    Rivers and Hannan are not real pace, but I agree they are not slow. 
    Watch what Bolton is doing for the Tigers, he is creating scoring chances for the team continuously. We need a burst player to break up the pack.

    Understand there's already a line ruled through Nietschke for 2020, but it'd be nice to hear an occasional update on Petty, Hore and KK (although I've assumed for a long while that KK's career is over).

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
