Paddy Mcartin's concussion problems stem from a neck problem.

Did some research and it’s quite complicated by the sounds of it. 
Not ‘technically’ a concussion from a brain injury but all the similarities in symptoms.

    Loving hearing AvB training really well, was hoping Hannan would be the same but fingers crossed the fitness team can get him out on the park.

    Also happy to hear some positive reports about Weid. If he gets a clean run at it then this has to be the year things start to click, our forward line was so impotent last year so we need TMac and Weid to find the form from the end of 2018 that contributed to us being so high scoring.

    Also just a quick one, any reason why Melksham was a no show? For me he is one of our most important players.

    His brother Tom had similar problems, I will leave it at that as I don't wish to divulge too much, but one can now play as the other has ongoing issues.

    Not sure if you realise that facts aren't welcome on social networks in this post-truth world. Consider yourself admonished.

    With the ‘explosive pace’ and ‘Dangerfield at the same age’ comparison I think Older Demon was referring to our SA recruit Tom Sparrow

    Agree, you have surgery on a muscle bit of scare tissue and it is just waking everything up.  He will have tight calves and need to manage them.  He is the cream on a pretty good trade and draft period, no essential but a big bonus if he does get through 

    I imagine his lower legs will take quite some time to adjust and strengthen,  now some bits have been removed.  It will change almost everything in his lower legs,  and all tissues will need to re-adjust..

    Maybe it will be next year to see any real improvements.?

    Was hoping Hannan would get a good pre season in, seems not to be the case. 
     

    Fingers crossed he can get back in the main group ASAP. 

    I think Hannan is always going to be a week to week proposition for us now,  with his knee issue.

    OD was referring to Sparrow, not AVB, and I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure it was Bernie Vince who compared him to Dangerfield last year

    That would make a lot more sense!

    The amusing thing at training is the players,  if they are in the opposing team to AVB, trying not to be in his vicinity

    I'd say that's some smart behaviour on their part.

    Yep, definitely Bernie during a preseason fluff interview on SEN.  He was involved with our preseason training and was asked which recruit was standing out. Got me pretty excited about the kid, especially when he was picked so early on in the season.  Hopefully the non-fairy tale first season works in his favour and Sparrow has a great career.

    You can see it this pic.

    Dunkley looks like he's just spotted a white pointer and he's done, meanwhile his teammate (is that Bedford?) is looking on like he's a gonna...

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

      The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

    • 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.
