Luckily we were already braced for this because it would have been the final straw on this 2006-2017 like day.

 

To anyone who actually knows this stuff, is the mooted late season return prospect at all realistic with a low grade lisfranc issue supported by a plate via surgery?

 

Was hoping Smith was closer - would be extremely handy atm


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

Apparently was an ankle today according to channel 7.  Although I'm sure the knee in the back was more troubling mid way through the second.  Courageous effort to stay out there.

It is 100% his back. He was holding it constantly. Channel 7 commentary is trash. 

We don’t deserve him. He is a warrior and I’m fuming that Cox, genuinely one of the worst footballers going around, gets to look like some sort of hero today playing on nobody after injuring Gawn. I hope he drops those stupid sunglasses in the toilet! 
 

We are in genuine trouble if Gawn is going to be out for a while or down on form due to the injury.

Agree entirely.  Jackson showed he isn't in the top 10 rucks in the league today.

Poor guy was buggered. He had hardly no rotation for a whole quarter. He’s just a kid and he was playing against that [censored] Cox who, like Mumford, is a thug masquerading as a D grade footballer. 

Since when was it legal to run under the ball at the centre bounce, not jump in the air and knee someone straight in the thigh/hip?

Leaps way too early at the center bounces too often...cant see how we're going to win many hits to advantage or even neutralise the contest unless he corrects this.

That is correct, but it is also allowing him to hit the ground first and become another mid, which he did brilliantly in the last GF.

He can do that, and does it well,  but I was more concerned with his inability to provide a contest in the ball ups and his lack of capacity to keep up with Cox around the ground.  An obviously injured Gawn provided a better contest than Jacko today.  He had plenty of mates, but it wasn't a great day for him.  Today we needed him to play like a big man and he didn't, other than a couple of times deep forward. 

Goodwin confirmed on AFL 360 that he carried a back injury into the game, which was worsened early in the game when Cox jumped into him and the also rolled an ankle.  Goodwin confirmed he would've been subbed out but as he left the field Turner was concussed and Petty got hurt so Max got to complete his duties.  Gutsy effort by the legend.

Agreed Mr Leg but i still think he halved many of those center bounces in the air before then competing as that handy extra mid at ground level. Prevented the opp hitting to advantage first (some of the time).

He's doing less of the former and seems to be a fair way off the level he showed in the GF on the ground at the mo also.

Not expecting him at GF levels either every week however he's been a fair way off that for about 5 weeks now (post Covid?).  Slightlly improved around the ground the last few but not in the middle IMO.

Maybe don't take significant injuries / illness impacted players into a game?

You don't always need a Maxy to square the ledger in the big man dept.  Use Majak in small doses as required and craft / grind out some of these games.  Maybe for the odd win.  Ok so we lose a few ....we probably would've lost them anyway taking in compromised players.

Gives the injured / ill time to reset and come back primed.

I'm only a keyboard amature but seems a little strange to be managing a team in this manor over such a grueling long season.

Goody goes back to learnings but it appear he has allowed this error with two of our key players now over the last few weeks.  An error that could be the difference between 2nd and 3rd maybe if things get tight?

As we know this is often a game of inches or small percentages.  A few good/poor decisions can be the difference.  Playing a big time player impacted by such issues to me also has the potential to effect a player's mental state / confidence in general, IF he ends up feeling he has not been able to play at his best and has let the team down etc.

Simply not worth it in my book.  Would we take this risk in a big final?  If not, why do we do so in regular season?

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.

Time for Bedford Rivers and Majak to speed up and toughen our team vs Lions.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
