Not sure many people actually believed that Doctors had miraculously discovered  the cause of his problems and it could now be managed.

Might also add to the caution needed about Bennell before anyone gets too excited about his prospects.

Hope both make it back to their best for us, but the chances must be extremely slim.

If correct that may well be the end IMO. He has had continuing problems since day 1 of his senior career. Some people just do not have the body for the game

 I suspect he is one of them.

Spot on ding.

It’s pretty sad for KK. Does anyone who attends training know when and how KK got concussed?  Last I heard he hurt an elbow at training in November and then hasn’t been seen again.

I trust by this you meant he won't be rushed back. The other interpretation would be disastrous.

Yes?

A better question might be Tomlinson or Baker..

Tomlinson obviously for now, but we should be blooding some experience into Baker this year too. Does he have to add more forward and defensive strings to his bow to get an op on the wing?

Good point JD.  Baker as far as I read has had little mention in training reports.

Surely if he can't get up for any of 2020 then he should retire (or be delisted).

It's not looking good. He can't take a trick I'm  told

Baker was in the rehab group on Friday. Struggled in the sprints and stood out of the agility drills. Can’t accelerate, can’t change direction? Saw him pointing to his groin muscles in discussion with one of the physio’s. I would venture a touch of osteopubis? Not a good sign on the first day back.

Honestly has he shown anything at senior level? Rarely in the best five at Casey. If it was not for injuries in 2019 I doubt he would have a senior game to his name.

I've always felt that we may well be giving him his superannuation,  on behalf of Gill and his mates.

One hand, washing 'the others'.

You do this for us, and we will do this in turn.

He's a kid OD.

he has some time.

Hmm..let's see, I pick the one whose career wasn't over before he got here.

GC knew KK was finished and didnt offer him a contract, bizzare that we gave him a 3 year contract.

He is now in his third year jnr and so far he has not shown much. Admittedly he has been injured a bit and is again this year. Another year spent mainly on the sidelines will not  serve him well. IMO he is an average talent with injury problems. Those types usually don't have long careers at AFL level.


Unfortunately you'd think the writing is already on the wall for KK. Poor bugger. He is gawn

True, a good run at it this year will be vital. I like his neat side step. He hasn't really used his pace and that may be down to fitness. I think it was last summer he was recovering from a badly torn hammy so we haven't seen what he can really do just yet

The problem is he is injured again and having a poor pre season again which will limit his ability this year.

OD technically 3 years 18,19 and now 20 BUT ONLY ONE here at the Dees with 2020 as a possible seasonal problem.

Fully agree that it's not looking good but is it an injury or a major concussion issue?

Baker has a 2 year contract. (No idea what he did to earn it.)

I think the AFL have, and are on a process, to help the bottom clubs be more competitive and well run.

Helping the competition,  from the bottom side up.

 

Maybe the bummers will get their poor year in 2020,  and then that AFL legup at completion of this year,  as Worsfolds farewell,  and the new coach takes the joy stick.?

You would have been saying the same theme about Vandenburg,  3Yrs back, OD.?

Some players are worth persisting with. 

Pedo another.

Possibly Lever.

Nev Jetta.

Max Gawn.

The difference is all those players had shown they were good at the top level. That cannot yet be said about Baker.

  • 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.

  • 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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

  • 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.
