THis is a wonderful moment; I was really moved the first time I saw it.

    If I was him at 28, in this squad in this year. I would roll the dice on a synthetic LARS ligament and potentially be back playing in 6 weeks.

    Rather than go traditional and be back next year. Can always go down that road if the LARS fails. 

    ?will cause much greater damage in the long-term.  He is only 28 and it’s early in the season.  Get it done right and he’ll be back for the start of the 2022 season

    They just had on ‘on the couch’ Tommo is number 1 in the AFL in defence for 1 on 1s. Only been beaten once out of 21 contests. 

    a big loss for us

    Gutted for him, every time the camera was on him at the game you could see he was devastated and the players were trying to comfort him. I think there was another shot with him on crutches after the match and Lever with his hand on his shoulder. Defensive brothers in arms.

    Yeah, that was a little strange. I think Jones was quite overcome with pity for him and that’s how it was expressed.

    What was scary was the bit before that as he was coming back into the dug out, he obviously still had his boots on, and looked like he skidded on the studs as he was walking on the concrete, almost looked like he was going to do his other knee the way he started to fall!

    The bloke was having a great year and a foundation player to our strong defence. 
    May, Tomlinson, Lever, Salem, Hibberd, Hunt. Probably the best defence structure that I can remember.  

    It’s a cruel game.

    It would definitely be difficult to do something as simple as just walking when you are literally reeling, which I’m sure was the case.

    Burgo confirmed he had the operation today. Hopefully he will be ready for a full pre-season and back on the park for Round 1 2022 to defend our premiership :)

    Had a chat with him this morning at our local cafe, seemed fairly philosophical about the whole thing and was in pretty good spirits.

    Just gutted for him. Fantastic bloke and was just settling in beautifully.

    Very few other sports are "360 degree" sports like AFL

    And yet Burgo doesn't see any reason why 6 months is not considered enough........ That's OUR high-performance manager plus a doctor who was with our team a long time ago and was with the Socceroos and the Olympics team both DON'T SEE ANY REASON why 6 months is not long enough.

    Surely, given the credibility of the sources, there is reason enough to think there just might be something in it....

    He'll have more time to complete his Masters degree in whatever it is he's studying. (Anyone know what it is?)

    Mind you. I'm sure ACL re-hab is a long and time consuming process for professional sports people.

    It's a bit academic in this instance. It will be 10.5 months, or thereabouts between now and the beginning of the 2022 season, so the real question is not whether 6 months is long enough but whether 10.5 is.

    It will be weird having an injury list next year with none of Smith, Nietschke, Vandenberg and Hore on it. It probably hasn't been that way since late 2018.

    Sadly none of them have bodies that are able to stand the physical stress that comes with being AFL players.

    Glad to hear Viney’s issue is a separate one from all the other foot issues. The way his luck is going with these problems though, there won’t be much room left in the feet to state it’s unrelated. 
    Let’s hope it’s only two weeks.

    A story in The Age promoting Neale Daniher's Big Freeze features Jack Viney who says he expects to be "cherry ripe" for the Queens Birthday day game in round 13.

    This has been a very long 2-3 week injury.  Hope he's fully recovered.

    So much for 2-3 weeks. 

    Having let the bone heal and gradually increased his loading, Viney said he plans to resume running on Tuesday and is confident he will be back to face the Magpies in five weeks’ time in round 13, in what has become the annual FightMND Big Freeze fundraiser led by inspirational former Demons coach Neale Daniher.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
