Absolutely shattering news.  The youngster must be feeling so down. Hope his teammates get around him and ex players like Schwartz reach out to him. 

 

Sloane? Not one of our players!

3 knee reco's I would think he might find it difficult to get back. Good luck

Absolutely devastated for the kid. 

  • Demonland changed the title to 3rd ACL for Aaron Nietschke

Horrible news. Seems his body wasn’t made for professional footy. He’ll struggle to make it back now you’d think. As horrible as it is, it’s not wise for a club to use a list spot for 4 years on a lateish draft pick who can’t get on the park.

Feel sad for the kid!

Try again Picket

That is truly a bitter pill for young Aaron to swallow, how devastated must he feel, he can't take a trick.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Awful news for him. 
 

The new list rules do provide some relief for all involved. We can replace him for this year, and next year we can possibly invite him to train with the group until he’s fully rehabbed and beyond. It’s too early for those decisions but we can do the right thing by him.

Sloane is a She  PF 

Your AFLW knowledge is a bit limited!

Sorry, but I have no interest in AFLW hence the lack of knowledge about our women personel. I hope she recovers well.

Sorry but with respect PF it's been Well publicised in photos and all over our website Plus D/L posts really pretty hard to ignore or miss.'

Really  bad Luck again  for Aaron Hope he can recover and play again. 
 

 

I'm absolutely gutted for the kid.  Nobody deserves that sort of luck. Bloody hard, but 'keep your head up' Aaron. 


very cruel bad luck, gotta feel for the guy

realistically it's probably the end of his afl career

Ok, it might well have been well docoed and all, but honestly I have iterated my postion and so lets leave it at that. I trust, however both players make speedy recoveries.

Sad news.

Have many/any players made it back from three ACLs like this? Morabito, maybe?

You'd have to think the odds aren't great.

Hopefully the club looks after him through 2021 and maybe considers giving him another shot in the 2021/22 off-season, if there is a spot available.

alex johnson of sydney and dan menzel both did to some extent


Not just 3 ACLs, but all in the pre-seasons of his first 3 seasons as a pro. Poor guy only got a chance to play a quarter of a scratch match in his time in the AFL, that’s awful luck.

Good luck to him, whether that’s another crack at it, or something else post playing footy.

Devastating for the bloke. He has gotta be thinking - is his body up to the rigors of AFL if he cant get through preseasons.

Good friend of Nathan Lyon

The curse continues... unfortunate for the young fella but a common occurrence over many decades at Demonland

  • 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.

  • 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.
