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..

It was done last year and it did... risk vs reward....

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 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.

    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.
