that's awful news re dusty; he's mostly had a blessed run of lack of any injury throughout his career

was it tom lonergan who lost a kidney after a clash with brad miller?

Newman also suffered a terrible kidney injury.

    I reckon Tigers will downplay this. If he has bruising on the Kidney he might miss 4 weeks or more, if he has lacerated it there goes his season!

    Yes a St Kilda win would help us and they should given Ports injuries.

    Why is everyone getting behind the saints? We're effectively 3 games clear of Port - we'd need to implode for them to take our spot in the top 4 from here.

    A qualifying/ prelim final against Port would be a best case scenario for us.

    I hate it when a player is very clearly down and badly concussed and they keep playing around him. So dangerous.

    Saints v Port ... terrible standard.

    Steel is the latter day Lenny Hayes. (Both related to the Get Smart character Simon the Likeable.)

    Tom Morris mentioned that dusty has played 260 of a possible 268 AFL games. Thats serious durability

    Hope he makes a full recovery. Kidney injuries can be very serious

    Richmond did us a favour this week and thankyou. However they will come a cropper against geelong and no longer be relevant for the year. If we finish 3rd does not matter as it will be against bulldogs or that rubbish from geelong. Don't want to play the bears or Port at their home grounds.

    Unfortunately given the multiple knee jerk lockdowns  who knows where or even if games will be played.

    A very unfortunate injury - how long before Gill comes out with “the kidney is sacrosanct” ?

    Knee jerk lockdowns? What we now have in NSW is a direct result of NOT having a knee jerk reaction… I know what I’d prefer. I’d say that rather than being a knee jerk reaction, Vic and WA responses are a result of hard lessons learnt.

    Yes he is - and he has lots of company.

    Tonight James Brayshaw described the way in which Harris Andrews knocked the ball over the boundary line as being "laconic".

    BT, in his infinite wisdom, agreed. "Yes that was laconic". 

    Brayshaw is a serial offender - could someone please direct him to dictionary.com. He may well stop embarrassing himself should he learn the meaning of the word.  

    Maybe they are far greater wordsmiths than any of us, Hemingway includes, and just thought that he, Andrews, said very little about the spoil - or maybe not  

    laconic - Using or marked by the use of few words; terse or concise

    Brad Hill's delivery inside 50 today has been appalling. From memory he has wasted 3 kicks, under zero pressure. We got by far the better winger from freo

    What on earth has happened to goal kicking in the last month. 

    They just mentioned on the commentary that accuracy is at a 150 year low...

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
