NO ONE has learnt from the Joel Smith saga at Casey 2/3 years ago and we had the great DB in charge then.

Not sure the successor from Brisbane or Goody are heeding any lessons nor was Trac with the flu/ gastric and now looks slow and banged up.

Salem and Langdon are clearly underdone and can't run.

Gawn has been carrying injuries since before the West Coast game.

Petty has been carrying injuries for weeks as well.

Petracca has been well down since being sick prior to the Freo game.

The young kids are looking tired and beaten up.

How much more evidence do we need that we can't keep carrying players who aren't anywhere near full fitness?

    On AFL 360 last night Goodwin said Max was sore at training - I think he said it was a back issue but difficult to make out the audio. 

    Then Cox crashed him with this knee.

     

    ... who were the morons on the bench giving him cheek - from the tv vision they looked more like supporters than support staff!

    Agreed Gawn and a number of our players are banged up but we don't have replacements for most of them.

    We don't really get a bye this week but lets hope the 9 day break gives them some respite.

    It may be time to rest the most injured players.  Not all at once but alternate one per week or similar.

    It appears the Pies had some Intel on Max's injury and deliberately targeted it all day. 

    I've decided to baselessly blame Jeremy Howe.

    Max was looking at their bench. Moron Club.

    Apparently it was Ginnivan.

    Being the afl's only playing skipper immortalised as a premiership captain , something pendles can only dream of, i suspect his high self esteem held him firm whem moronic and disrespectful epithet s came his way from the filth bench.

    Poor max should be told to go away for a week & rest up. He is battered & bruised & sore.

    His knees and today his hip & ankle were bothering him. 

    He's one that needs the bye

    His head, particularly the back of the head, must be mushy by now. Every game, he cops a half dozen straight jabs and flung elbows without umpires noticing - he is more than a martyr for us.

    This whole pushing players through the injury barrier is certainly paying off..

    Zach Merrett had surgery to repair a high ankle syndesmosis injury earlier this year, was expected to miss 6-8 weeks but only missed 3 weeks
    https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/03/27/syndesmosis-surgery-to-sideline-merrett-for-six-to-eight-weeks/

    I would think a ruckman will require longer to recover due to the load on the ankle because  of his height and weight and the force required to spring in a ruck contest.

    Was bound to happen at some point.

    Jackson and Weed as a one-two combo should frighten most teams. Weiderman is a veteran of the club now whether we like to accept it and needs to step up. It took Max until his 6th season to step up. This is Sam's 7th. No better opportunity for the kid to step up.

    Can the swearing filter be turned off please. I am bloody sick of no plan to protect Max from cheap shots. I want to see an opposition player throwing up after some body work the next time they elbow Max in the head. And words cannot describe my sadness at the prospect of Max having that particular injury.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
