How bad is the injury to Saty?  Hasn't appeared at all this pre-season.

Fair way to take the scooter from Richmond to East Cranbourne.

Really hope Petty gets back on the park in 2021.  Showed enough to suggest he’s worth development as a versatile tall back or tall forward.

My understanding Petty around Christmas or late 2020 contracted a disease ( sickness) which restricted his training snd body strength.

As a result Burgo is handling him with TLC as he patiently resumes full training on his modified style program.

I honestly don't know the health of his groin issues which were of course last seasons problems and I can only go on that We have to wait an see the progress in front of our own eyes or as reported by the power(s) that be Burgo.

This is not a good sign. I sure hope we got Richmond’s doctors to look over him before we signed him...

For the meagre picks we gave, it would still be worth taking him on as a project player that spends the rest of his career battling to get on the park.


Far out, just when you start getting excited for the start of the season, something like this pops up and brings the mood back down. Persistent swelling throughout preseason? Work your magic Doc Feller.

Is swelling an injury? Just sounds like Dr Feller will be working out how to manage it best.

On good money, over several years. He isn’t a project player.

Don't reckon it's time to panic just yet...

 

 

Wait til Thursday.

Panic should always be initiated at the earliest possible opportunity.

MFCSS demands it.

Well I'm not saying we knowingly take on a player that will never get on the park. But you have to make some kind of radical change and take a risk, if you've persisted for two years with the same personel.

BB battling to get on the park, even on that money, still fills the supporters with far more confidence and hope for the future, if he gets it right, than having Preuss lining up at CHF and the club languishing down at 11th on the ladder again.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
