    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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
