NOT SURE THE ABOVE GRAPHIC ON THE YOUTUBE VIDEO IS CORRECT 🤦‍♂️

It also is randomly shown well before SG has finished.

    Insert Fritch where they put Petty's name, foot 3-5 weeks. I think that is the only mistake.

    And instead of Bowey, replace him with Petty.

    They clearly stuffed up the graphics so I’ve extrapolated the stats from last week’s reports and come up with this:-

    Injury List: Round 19

    Michael Hibberd - Kidney | Available 
    Harry Petty - Ribs  | Test
    Clayton Oliver - Hamstring | 3 Weeks 
    Tom McDonald - Ankle | 2 - 4 Weeks 
    Bayley Fritsch - Foot | 5 - 6 Weeks
    Daniel Turner - Hand | 5 - 6 Weeks
    Kye Turner - Groin | TBC 

    I have a feeling that in the case of Clarrie they went ultra-conservative with his assessment and it would not surprise me if he came back sooner than this.

    It would also not surprise me that they are in Bikini Mode, to keep the real extent of Claytons injury at bay, lest an outcry!!

    The [censored] went ultra conservative with Danger last year and gave him extra time to rest and recover.

    Is it possible that Clarrie is on a similar path? So long as we are winning without him, let's make sure that we have a fully rested and recovered Clarrie back for the finals.

    The scene is perfectly set for a couple of Mystery Injuries of the Week.

    As far as Clarrie is concerned, I don’t think the selectors will pick him unless they’re convinced by the medical team that he’s right to go. Given that we play North Melbourne in three weeks time, I can’t see that happening until after that game.

    Harrison Petty's injury. Didn't see it.

    He wasn't targeted , was he?

    I don't think so. He was more or less landed on. Having said that, I have no doubt he'd be the recipient of a rib-tickler from Tex Walker (amongst others) this week, so I prefer he didn't play until cherry ripe. Two weeks in a row of being subbed out is more than enough. Out, Petty - In, Tommo

    He injured himself the previous week during a contest against St Kilda. He looked very sore after it.

    Hit the ground hard in a tackle v Brisbane, looked in real pain with bruised ribs

    Surely can't play this week after aggravating, or risks same issue again after a bump or tackle

    He seems to find a way to get smashed every game. Not conducive to a long career as a key defenders.

    So Clarry has gone from 3-4 a fortnight ago, to 4 last week, to 3-4 again today. Hope he can actually get back this season.

    tendon injury was the rumour from the get go

    was probably 10-12 from then but @Webber or another may know more about expected timelines

    Just wondering how long our midfield can function well without him. At this point it's looking a bit like a Jack Viney 2018 situation where he may lack match fitness but we'll go all in on getting him right for finals.

    I reckon it’s panning out to be precisely a tendon injury timeline. He’ll be back, and knowing Clarry’s intent (vomiting with exhaustion in his first ever practice match), he won’t play like he’s underdone.

    Question on Oliver remains as to whether he is progressing. The communication out of the club seems to be the same for the last few weeks in that he is stuck at 90% or thereabouts. 

    @ all the physio's, is this progression normal for an injury such as his.

    We all know he'll give it all on his return, but you do need a few weeks-months to sharpen skills, match fitness etc etc. I'd want at least 3-4 games into Oliver before going into finals.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
