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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
