In form he reminds me of atom Hawkins without the zimmerframe.

Although I notice he's been getting around on some sort of scooter.

In form he's unbeatable and set up our first 12 wins last year. 

I do hope Weid steps up but I'm not too hopeful.

But this could be the catylist  that SW needs with a long string of games under his belt.

There's always hope as a Dees fan.

Cheers

    Saw him at the Brissy game wth his ankle in plaster and riding a mobility scooter. He is a long way off.

    Looks like season done, but one thing we can know is that if there’s ANY kind of chance at all he’ll be pushing hard  fr it. There’s a possible 2nd flag as the carrot. I doubt he’ll be giving up right now.

    On the positive he will back for the threepeat.

    Weid isn't the answer. It needs to be Bedford or JVR. Different players but for once other teams need to watch what we are doing and try to stop it.

    Goornski for the year and agree Weeds not the answer. Blood JVR when Max returns and Bedford stays in!

    He's got a metal plate in his foot, I'd have thought for sure season over. Would be some incredible feat if he sneaks in for finals.

    Must be a very long shot, but in contrast to the report that his ankle was still in plaster our fitness guy had a video of him commencing weight bearing training on his ankle in the injury report

    We can thank North for that

    Actually you can thank the concrete dump that is Marvel for that.

    He landed badly and hurt his foot. Nobody did anything unusual to him and he would do the same motion 100 times a season at the G.

    His season is definitely over. His career might be too, as many players never come back from this injury.

    Looks that way as now saying 10-12.

    Even by some miracle he does return, there’s been a heap of evidence over the years that suggests Tom takes a while to get going after a long lay off… & as we know, this injury is a no joke!

    So in saying that, imo, it’s all but over for Tom this season. Up to you Weids & it’s make or break mate.

    The Weed will be fine, have faith, just needs a good run of games.

    .....have faith !!

    The Pope says hi.

    This is it for SW. He has to step up. T/mac gone  atleast till Sept probably 2023. JVR too raw. Must serve his apprenticeship in the VFL till sometime next season. 

    Huge risk playing  now.

    Its up to the Weed. Start praying for a miracle.

    It's the question of whether you can trust Weid over a block of games now. Was happy with him against the Lions but there is going to need to be improvement and more marks and goals if we are to make a serious charge. It's a big IF.

    I'd say he done for the season.
    It's also not the kind of injury that should/can be rushed in any way shape or form. 
    Has to be 100% or it can be a career ender.

    Yes, hoping, but more realistically wishful thinking.

    Definitely must formulate a game plan without him.

    The chances of him playing again this season, based solely on the injury - Lisfranc disruption - are negligible. Part of this is down to loss of fitness whilst weight-bearing is limited and the catch-up then required. That it wasn’t a Lisfranc fracture bodes well however for next season.

    Goody said in his presser it shouldn't say 10-12 weeks, he's more likely 6-7 weeks and they're expecting him to play a big role in the back end of the season.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
