If / When there’s actual news can we post a new thread? I can’t keep checking this every 5 mins .. and pretend to have conversations with people.  re stages of grief,  Im officially in denial .. everything will be fine and nothing happened. Also we won in Brisbane and kozzy re signed. im not well.  🥶

I suspect, good news or bad, our moderators will retitle the thread. 

 

Just when you think it cant get any worse....

Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton the current Top 3

Im assuming the club would know by now. Max would have gone straight to Olympic park imaging from the airport as he lives on the peninsuLa so would have to travel all the way back to the city.

Tom Browne is for sure in a bin somewhere outside the clinic

Kane Cornes will be frothing at the mouth, right now, so I doubt it will be him!

Port are being sodomized 

 

The longer this goes without an update the more likely it is for a serious injury… let’s hope news comes out soon 

I’m not a Physio or work in the medical industry but have read a number of clinical sites which are all non conclusive but suggest that a grade 2/3 ACL or MCL (partial / full year), the pain will almost always prevent you from walking unassisted.

Whilst there’s always exception to this rule, given his walking without assistance and what looked like without a limp, suggests there is a good chance it’s only a minor tear to a knee ligament. This is what I’m telling myself anyway to make the minutes go by.

I think he actually lives in Malvern now GtG. Still owns the pad in Blairgowrie though as a friend of mine lives on the same street. 


Let's be honest, how many of us are hitting the refresh button every 1 minute.

He also converted a van with his brother and started a mobile food truck business called The Bearded Jaffle. Knocks them out for $14 each. 


Max ran for about 30-40 metres towards defence immediately after the knock. Is that a good sign? No sign? Doesn’t mean sh iit? Anyone ?

You can read it both ways. No pain = good, so what caused him to leave ground? Instability = bad. However instability can be from any knee ligament injury = good.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
