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...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
