IF he comes back. 
He just can’t catch a break. Lack of durability is really a problem for him. 

Petty is very injury prone.

We can’t be certain fritta comes back this year either . Foot injuries are tricky.

    Don't tell anyone but....

    WE ARE IN SECOND PLACE!!

    Not yet. Lions still to play. But with a big last quarter we can stay there even if they win.

    Geez we've got at least 8 players who have lifted their form from last year.

    I'd include Nibbler there. Add JVR, JV, McVee, Chandler, Hunter, Rivers, ...

    Possibly 3 or 4 who've dropped away, albeit injuries playing a part.

    I woukd actually prefer Schacke, more mobility and a good back up ruck option

    It might have to be this. Brown is no longer the answer, particularly under finals pressures.

    It's a travesty if Daicos wins the Brownlow before Clarry 😡😡😡

    They both deserve it… unfortunately Clarry will have to wait until next year.

    Syndesmosis?

    Athletes are allowed to return to sport when they can perform their sport-specific tasks at game speed with good movement quality and no significant complaints of pain or instability. Evidence suggests that syndesmosis sprains typically require 6 to 8 weeks for recovery, but this is variable.

    And Ben Brown does?  I love BB but the game has passed him.  Once T-Mac is running a lnd fit maybe.  But Grundy can't play that role unfortunately

    The fact that Petty isn't icing his foot spells Syndesmosis to me

    The answer is Petty and JVR. Now petty is out. smith as forward, and Tomlinson back

    My only hope is that Petty doesn’t look incredibly upset so maybe it’s not as bad as we suspect and it’s precautionary?

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
