Must be a pretty bad calf injury given that Sydney are still in the hunt for finals.

He’s 36. Calf injuries are never good at that age.

    I did find todays announcement very unusual. No comment from the man himself. They either have something special planned for later in the year, or he’s the new Tom Brady.

    Steven May must be cheering, far less chance of a concussion or tooth loss from those swinging elbows. 

    also something something no chance of a fifth strike something something 😂

    ^ above in jest, of course. I’d have killed to have him in our forward line for the last decade

    Absolute freak athlete and a gun footballer. Was great to watch him at his best.

    Wait until the day you realise that there is no AFL footballer still playing who is older than you.

    At least you're 30! Plenty of youth left!

    Wait until one of your former teammates sons gets drafted. I pulled out the calculator and checked the math twice.

    Turns out the numbers don’t lie. I’m old.

    Burgoyne retiring really hit hard.

    Shaun Burgoyne was the last player my age. At 37 I pulled my hamstring getting out of bed and it was sore for weeks. Seeing him running around at peak AFL condition at the same age and never getting injured was one of the most irreconcilable things I’ve ever seen in my life.

    Slightly misleading in that it looks like he didn’t do much damage against the Lions but he got those 63 goals in 16 games for an average of 3.9 pg.

    Someone at Essendon seriously [censored] him off though cos he smashed them all the way through his career at 3.8 pg.

    • 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.

    • 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.
