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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
