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 PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
