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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
