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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
