If McDonald isn't ready the Weed id be happy to see what he's got. Not many more opportunities will be forthcoming. 

 

Does Salem need to be rested?

Is he any good? Have to say I have never heard of him.

I remember a fateful Sunday mid-season asking that of several Crows. 

 

out hunt in hibbo simples, jones gets the vest

If hunt can't make it I'd take Declasse.  He's reasonably quick, doesn't fumble, reasonable kick, can be physical and can take a taller forward.   Adelaide would be a good game to see if he can handle it.  No future in playing same olds.

    So Tex, O’Reilly both out, wonder how the rest of the crows are stacking up?

    Is it just me or did Kossie look out of sorts? He didn't seem to have much impact when I wathced the replay 

    Maybe tiredness?

    Vanders did my head in last night. Fine line between tough and stupid. Give Hunt the week off if needed and same for T Mac. Rest of the team have a score to settle with The Crows. 

    Yes and a Texless and no home ferrals crowd Crows at that... 100 piont win will do just nicely!)😇

    ROB is a very good player but they are super thin in the ruck after him. Strachan, skinny and 1 game; Thilthorpe first year fwd-ruck. Maxy is putting on the bib tor a feast.

    I really hope a few of the players had this match circled on their calendar for a bit of revenge. We let them stay in it but some very questionable decisions gave them the chance as well. 

    Hunt out - Hibbo in

    AVB out - Jones in

    Weid comes in if Tommy is still sore. Give the old warriors a bit of a chance to A: stake their claim and B: should injuries come it gives them valuable match practice.

    I"ll answer my own question: yes reckon he has sore groins

    With their ruck out is this a situation where we give Gawn or Jackson a rest with Weed coming in. Not Goody's style but it must cross their minds. 

     

    Has Hunt been officially ruled out? Or, at least, has the club publicly stated he's unlikely to play? It seems to be a foregone conclusion here, but I've not seen any news from the club that confirms this.

    The same Olds who have helped us get to a guaranteed top 4 and currently top of the ladder position. We are just about to start a premiership tilt now isn't the time to experiment with a mid season rookie

    Club said yesterday ‘TBC, based on scans’.

    Didn’t look too good for this week with him on crutches post-game.

    Thanks Ioges, no answers from me but some questions...😉

    Ho many 'groins' has Christian been equipped with?

    Does 'groins' soreness increase exponentially in line with the number of 'groins' present? 

    Could Christian rationalise his 'groins' this late in the season as a means to run out the season in greater comfort?

    PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
     Mitch Brown  Heel  Test
     Marty Hore  Knee  Season
     Jayden Hunt  Ankle  TBC
     Tom McDonald  Back  Test
     Aaron Nietschke  Knee  Season
     Deakyn Smith  Concussion  Test
     Adam Tomlinson  Knee  Season
     Jack Viney  Suspension  Round 23

    Updated: Tuesday, August 10

    Early prognosis

    The Demons are confident they will regain McDonald for this week's clash with the Crows, while Mitch Brown and Deakyn Smith should make their comebacks through the VFL. Hunt will get scans early this week, with Simon Goodwin saying on Monday night he is "confident with where that sits". - Riley Beveridge

    PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
     Luke Brown  Achilles  Season
     Matt Crouch  Groin  Season
     Will Hamill  Concussion  1 week
     Jackson Hately  Groin  Season
     Mitch Hinge  Shoulder  Season
     Wayne Milera  Knee  Season
     Luke Pedlar  Ankle  Season
     Brodie Smith  Concussion  1 week
     Daniel Talia  Foot  TBC

     Updated: Tuesday, August 10

    Early prognosis

    A couple of Crows have been put on ice for the final two rounds, most notably inside midfielder Crouch who experienced groin soreness following his one SANFL match a few weeks back. Hately has been managing a similar problem for most of the season but will now rest, while Pedlar has a badly sprained ankle from Saturday's SANFL Showdown victory over Port Adelaide. - Michael Whiting

     

    The Adelaide Injury list doesn't include Reilly O'Brien as reported by the Crows yesterday.

    Geez, why are you limiting the win to 100 points, PF? Add another 30-40% and 20 Hail Marys.

    Maybe stressed by the Tex Walker incident.

    Not officially yet, but why in the world would they risk him? We're guaranteed to finish top 4 it's smart to rest anyone with soreness or injury concerns. At least save them for Geelong who were likely to play first week of finals as well.

    I've been thinking about whether we'll see a player or two rested this week.

    The concern is that with the bye coming up, and the potential for a week off if we win the first final, anyone who gets rested will be having a very stop-start run (will literally be play, week off, play, week off, play, then week off if we win the first final, before the prelim).

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
