    Very disappointing news about Blake Howes' injury.

    He is only in his first year though. So luckily he has time on his side.

    Hopefully, he can still bulk up muscle in his arms and upper body while allowing his stress fracture in his foot to heal? However, I am sure Selwyn Griffith will sort out a plan for Blake Howes.

    I wish the young fella all the best and a speedy recovery.

    I wonder if the injury to Howes is enough for him to be put him on the long term injury list?

    There’s talk of a few young talented players emerging in the ranks who could be worth looking at in the mid season draft. We would probably have the last pick but it might be worthwhile exploring whether there’s a player out there to fit our needs eg. a genuine young ruck prospect to nurture for the day when Max retires or if Luke Jackson gets homesick.

    The article says … “Melbourne expecting Howes to be sidelined for at least two months as he recovers”.

    Two months would not likely amount to a long term injury so the club would have to wait some time before making an assessment.

    Mmnn, the dreaded navicular injury. That's Howes done for the year. Will need a good six months recovery. 

    Horrible luck for the young fella. Definitely showed a bit in the pre-season and VFL.

    Poor fella. Navicular stress factures can be life-long injuries ala Viney, James Hird and also career ending like Trengrove. Its not the injury you want at any age let alone at the start of your AFL career.

    Lets hope that he is properly rested, allowing the injury to properly heal. I wonder whether research has uncovered any new treatment and prevention measures given the prominence of this type of injury in all forms of sport.

    He played a great game last Anzac round.

    At least we have plenty of defenders in the mix to cover our injuries. 

    Off topic, depending on how Weid fares this year we may be looking for a proven big forward at the end of the year. Tmac was great for half a season last year but is very inconsistent. With Jackson spending more time on the ball we really now only have Bbb as a reliable tall.

    Devastated about the Howes injury, was loving seeing him in training. Really hope they take all the precautions and get him cherry ripe for pre season.

    Given the length of time out does the ETA on Salem allow for effectively putting in some sort of mini pre-season post full recovery?

    great to hear.

    Casey will be very strong this week against the Box Hill Hawks with T Mac, Tomlinson,Bedford, Dunstan and Hibberd

    2:05pm Sunday.... I believe at Box Hill... a lovely place to watch a game and easy parking within a five minute walk

    I reckon. 
    Maybe we’ll aim for him to play first game post bye. Have a couple of weeks hard training and a game and Casey abs come in firing

    Not sure about that... i've had some absolute ****ful days out there copping and giving it back to some of the numbskull Dawk supporters.  Other times have been good days but bit of a coin flip depending on which numb nutz are about.

    If i go i'll probably bring my earphones for some more intelligent radio commentary :lol:

    The venue itself is a great place to watch a match, the crowd is a different story, but this time you get to be the smug premiership winning wnker supporter, how good.

    Given the health of our list and winning form he’ll be the proverbial cherry ripe come game time. Whatever is needed, he’ll get. Loading on damaged/filled joint surfaces has to be done with progressive care, otherwise the surface starts to degrade irreparably…..Clint Bartram’s early career end being an example.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
