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...

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
