I am absolutely shaken.

This is the first time I have seen or heard anyone involved in AFL media use the word laconic correctly.

Except he sounded more grumpy than laconic.

Reads laconic, didn't sound it.

    Oh binman……

     

    laconic

    /ləˈkɒnɪk/

    adjective

    (of a person, speech, or style of writing) using very few words.

    And here I was thinking I'm pretty laconic.

    Got that wrong.

    Some more mixed messaging to throw people off the scent?

    That'll be 3 weeks from the 3-4 weeks, mate. Where's the mixed messaging?

    Yze says North.

    Goodwin suggest 2-3 weeks away.

    I would say he'll be back for the Carlton game which gives him 3 games under his belt before finals. That would be a good result.

    We have no business losing to North, regardless of the Clarko factor and the game being at our bogey venue, so I'm happy for them to wait for Carlton.

    So going by reports he will be another 3 weeks on the sidelines. This must be the most intricate and troublesome hamstring of all time. A three week injury might now be 10,11 maybe 12 weeks. There also may be a possibility that we won't see him again this season. This after Goody said what 4 weeks or so ago he needed to pass one more test! Must be excruciating for him not to be out there and as a stellar player, sheer frustration for us supporters. Having said that, Jack Viney is in career best form and so too is Trac. Hope he plays soon as he is pivotal to our Premiership chances !

    The longer this goes on you begin think about "what else could it B" it's strange to say the least. Right now it still has the ring of 426 at this point.

    Have to agree but I like to think we are just holding him back and get him going just before finals...

    A fresh Clarry could be the difference

    Whatever the case is, we have to get it perfectly right as there's not much wiggle room left before finals. A re-injury now would be catastrophic.

    It’s a tendon injury. They are difficult to get right. There’s nothing else to it except that he can’t run at full speed with confidence. Until he can do that he won’t play.

    Goody said 2-3 weeks in his presser but Yze said he is likely to be back in a fortnight.

    The poor guy just lives for footy - he must be even more frustrated than all of us combined.

    Get well soon Clarrie.  Looking forward to you coming back fully refreshed and raring to go.

    I can imagine Clayton Oliver being incredibly frustrated.

    He is such a competitive beast.

    His fiery discussion with Selwyn Griffith proved this. He just wants to be out there playing footy!

    Anyway, best that he just takes his time to fully recuperate so he can be cherry ripe for the finals.

    The positives are that we won games against Coll and Bris without him, and that he will surely be fresh and ready to go when he returns ready for finals

    Has been great to see Riv, Sparrow, etc lift in his absence

    Would like Trac to play more forward when Clarry returns

    Did anyone else see the topic and thought his hammy had blown up again?

    Anyway, Yze sounded really confident on radio that he's on the right path and will playing games within 2-3 weeks.

    (I've learnt not to hang off every word Goodwin says in his interviews)

    If he can get the last 3 games in before finals, then that would be a good result. Even better if we can knock off Richmond without him.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
