Awful news, really sad for him. It really sucks that they’re pre-season injuries as well so he’s never had a chance at showing what he’s got out on the field.

    Yeah ... like Schwarz and the Swans player Alex Johnson.

    It's so sad. Looks like Aaron just isn't cut out to be a footballer.

    I hope he finds another career which is rewarding for him. But it looks like the AFL dream will not materialise.

    I feel for the kid, but the sad reality is that some players don't have the bodies to play football at the highest level.

    I get that we wanted to do the right thing by Aaron and give him another chance, but it was a poor decision at the time and in hindsight. At best we should have allowed him to be a train on player and have a look at him through the pre season.

    I wish Aaron all the best for his recovery and the next phase of his life.

    Did it happen late in the first third on Friday? Seem to recall Aaron copping a dog act after kicking from inside defensive 50 and a downfield free being paid.

    Very sad news - whatever Aaron decides to do now I wish him all the best

    You know, at some point you are going to have to say that a decision the club makes is a good one, just to give your unending, unyielding, and often unfair criticism of the club's decision-making some meaning.

    How ironic that the phrase "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" was first expressed by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Different spelling, so I assume no relation of Aaron Nietschke.

    Freidrich & Aaron only share one letter, unlikely to be related.

    Actually could possibly  be related, way back in der fatherland.  
    Many homophone names result from transcription errors, and poor education especially in previous centuries.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
