Since the competition resumed from the first Covid-19 lockdown in June there has been one constant at the club: the four players who’s status on the club injury list has remained pretty much static. They are:-

Marty Hore (toe and quad) – indefinite
Harry Petty (groin) – indefinite
Kade Kolodjashnij (head) – indefinite
Aaron Nietschke (knee) – season

Young Nietschke has been that way for almost his entire journey at the club since he was drafted in late 2018, having suffered two ACL’s. We’re not expecting to see him back until next season.

Kolodjashnij‘s concussion/head injuries have been well documented. He’s highly thought of at the club but his  long term health is paramount and my guess is that he is a likely retirement at the end of 2020.

But what of the other two? We’ve heard little about their rehabilitation and with six matches to go in this season of a compacted fixture, it would seem that time is running out.

Does anyone know where Hore and Petty stand in terms of their expected return to full training and playing games of football?

 

Also it will be interesting if they follow through on the pledge to give Nietschke a new deal if the list sizes are cut.

Would like to know more about Pettys injury and when he will be back.  Does anyone know how or when he injured it?

Someone on the board said a groin? Done for the year.

Probably doesn’t make a difference but I reckon that once a player is deemed to be unable to play at all for the remainder of the year, the proper designation should be “season” and not “indefinite”.

I think there was a club report in June / July saying they'd reassessed Petty's groin issue & agreed that surgery was the next step. I guess other treatments hadn't achieved the desired results. You would expect mid year groin surgery would most likely put a line through him for the season

Would be nice to get an update on Petty. Surgery was close to two months ago and haven't heard anything since. Hopefully he is progressing in rehab and on track to tackle day 1 of preseason. I believe he's out of contract as well so would be good to sign him up before Adelaide come sniffing.

No one has seen him in weeks, missing persons report?

 

Thought I saw Petty at either the North or Collingwood game.

I saw both Hore and Petty with the rest of the playing group on the race at the end of the Collingwood game. So they are in the hub. Not sure about the other two.


probably not much to report - either stationary bike or running laps - maybe on a big day both.  if list sizes are cut all but Hore would be in trouble.  Hore has shown he can play AFL level

Petty showed plenty and we should look to get him right for 2021. This year is a bust. 
 

Hore is a player. Behind Lever but very handy 3rd tallish defender. 
 

Neitscke has been horribly unlucky. Two knee reconstructions. Like to see what he can do if and when fit. Hope we hold him and honour the pledge. 
 

Kk - yes his health and ongoing wellbeing is the priority. Serious issues from multiple concussions. He had big potential but should retire at end of 2020.

Agree on all counts. KKs health is the priority, and if the right decision is made sets a good precent for future players and parents. Reach a deal that could help set him up in some Club role for his future.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
