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.

Don't think their kidneys would pass medical testing.

Definitely not from the Richmond Doctor.

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.

yep want Port to win they are useless and a much preferred opponent on the MCG

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

Quality of aints v pear is abysmal

Perfect conditions under the roof too

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Fail Kilda at it again

Tiges without Dusty = Ninthdom or worse

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,326]

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. 

[ANG13 2,091]

Imagine how many goals would have been kicked if this was in the rain.

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

[Demon Jack 7,155]

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...
