With the shortened time off and the fact the whole list was in WA, I was wondering if anyone had any news regarding off season surgeries that might impact next year?

    Steven May has that 6cm tear in his hamstring he needs to recuperate from.

    Hopefully, he will take it easy and let it fully heal before getting back into full training in the Pre-Season.

    I'm recovering exceedingly well from the damage to my psyche from 57 years of losing

    The way we smashed our way through finals, I feel there are few players carrying major injuries.  Given the short break this should put us in a great position to rest the players and get them ready for round 1.  I would be cautious with the kids and the oldies. Rivers/Kozzi/Jackson, give them a big rest.   then May, Gawn etc.  but the majority of the list are in the sweet spot of big hardened bodies but still young

    Is that worse than an Oedipus Complex?

    Given our age demographic, group booking at The Royal Children's?

    Serious one: Christian Salem's apparent groin issues? (don't know if these are intervention or rest matters)

    His form peaked in finals, the byes helped him a ton. Should just be rest I reckon?

    I'm guessing he's sticking strictly to the nightclub and alcohol treatment in Perth.

    To hell with that. Now he has retired, he’s gotta get to work on producing even more potential father/daughters/sons

    I expect Clarrie's in the shoulder surgery queue

    Does he get them done every off season? 

    But really I haven’t seen any of our players post anything on their socials other than enjoying their off season. May is still away playing golf. The WA boys are off doing gym work and enjoying the sunsets. Jacko did mention on the Gus and Gawny podcast that he needs to have wisdom teeth removed so the boy is in for a lot of dental work.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
