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 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?

    • 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?
