Being managed apparently, rather than injury. 

Isn't that against the "emergency rules"

Tis a glorious day.

I was on a bikeride this morning and rode to and from (and around) the 'G.

I was telling my bike buddy (an American) that even after all these years (I'm freakin old) I still feel the buzz of the 'G on match day ... sigh ....

Yep

That siren gets you going followed by the roar of the crowd.

    Currently watching the 2002 replay match Semi Final against the Crows.

    Its half way through the first quarter and some Crow player called Simon Goodwin has kicked 2 goals and has about 7 touches.

    This was the game I thought Travis Johnstone would become a genuine star of the competition. 

    We were completely shot at the 3/4 time break.  Travis had the ball on a string, but was out on his feet.  All we had to do was hang on, and Daniher left Darren Jolly on the bench for the final quarter.  We just needed a big body at CHB to stop the marks the Crows were taking there.

    It can go down as 'hamstring awareness' or some other vague 'injury'.

    With Walker out it makes sense for May to be out and with O'Brien out we are more than well covered for talls.

    I like that if players have a niggle they get a rest esp with no bye likely.

    With the likelihood of no pre finals bye, they must rest a critical player this week. I suggested it should be Salem with his sore groin, perhaps May is more pressing. 
    Also, very happy for another player to get an AFL game before Finals in case he’s required.

    If past games against lower sides (including Adelaide) are anything to go by, this will be a closer contest than some may think. That, of course,  means irrational game day posts suggesting the sky is falling in from the 1 minute mark of the first.

    ah.. the old "general soreness" injury

    TBH we should be fined or at least get a "please explain"

    Interested to see how Joel Smith goes in May's absence, and of course desperately hoping May is right for the Geelong game and everything that comes afterwards.

    Readjustment my predictions now. Crows to kick 7 goals 😱

    Kieran Strachan vs Max Gawn.

    25 year old playing their second game in their third year on the Crows rookie list.

    Tough gig but we've seen a number of times already how fringe rucks have come in and competed hard and well against Gawn. I would imagine there's a certain liberation to knowing that there's no contest for 'total quality and ability' and your only option is to do the team things and focus on having a crack.

    Could be interesting.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
