    Of all the injuries this year, this one is the most devastating as a fan.

    I definitely feel for Harry. I missed the Sydney Olympics 400m final with the same injury. True story.

    It’s still fresh in my memory. I had gone to the bathroom and was running back to the TV to watch the 400m final when I slipped on the marble floor and jammed my foot between the couch and floor, sustaining the dreaded lisfranc ligament injury. I was rolling around the floor in agony while the race was run.

    Ben Brown out with knee soreness this week.

    Tom Mac playing in the VFL

    It’s down to 3 options:

    Grundy

    Schache

    Smith

    This sucks big time, really feel for Harrison, he is so important to our team. Wishing him a successful recovery. We will miss him and his determination especially in finals.

    Are you equating turner to petty. Petty is pivotal to our flag chances. Supporters are on tensor hooks 

    Nah, its was more the point that irrespective of context (importance of player) the response should (could) be the same. Of course its not, and I just think its hypocritical.

    FMD. Hopefully he’ll be right for pre season

    Yep it’s not just a worry for this year but it’s the sort of injury that can really hamper you for a long long time. Hopefully by managing it well now, it’ll have a better long term outcome for us. 

    The endless list of injuries this seasons can get in the bin!

    Super gutted for Petts but at the same time very bullish about season 2024. Reckon he could kick 50+ if his body holds up!

    For a moment I thought you must be a class athlete. 
    Second paragraph soon told me differently. 
    Not to dismiss your horrid injury. Hope all is operating as it should now.

    One thing that bugs me about these things is the announcement on Channel 7 news as a scoop. Surely supporters/members could get this info. Not watch a prerecorded presser from Richo.

    Anyway, feel for Petty. Think this will kill some momentum for us. Hopefully we find a way

    It's a huge blow for us. But, in this circumstance we just simply have to move on and focus in on the group we have available. 

    Huge positive is that we'll have a handy full forward exploding into 2024 season.

    Get well Petts

    Are there any career ramifications here with a losfranc or can we be sure he’ll be back in 24?

    This is what I’m hoping for, a mobile T Mac for the last 5-6 weeks.

    Petty is only 23 and the club are doing the right thing by putting him out to pasture until next season. 

    Hopefully now Tmac is back in the reserves he will be fit and firing on all cylinders just in time for the last round and run into finals. 

    God I hope so anyway.

    Poor bugger, season from hell for him all round.

    We just need to move on now. I think many were hopeful but thats footy.

    On a positive, even though its a big loss, we can still win without him. Not ideal to still be sorting our forwardline out at this time of year.

    Petty has only played 14 games this year. With only 6 games since round 9, 4 of which he was subbed off in.

    He has also been subbed off in 3 of his last 4 games and 4 out of his last 7.

    So as much as it sucks, we ARE used to life without him and need to move on. It probably looks worse after his bag of 6.

    The big question is, who can fill the void until Fritsch comes back, I'm hoping it isn't Smith or Grundy.

    It'll all be OK.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
