    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: 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.
