On Footy Classified last night they said it was broken and some time ago and was being ‘managed’.

    I think Edmund inferred on FC that he'd had it prior to the QF but not completely sure.

    Hopefully he did, as he would have played one of his best career games while dealing with a broken toe.

    I am not sure if anyone noticed but he came out really late onto the ground after half time. Did not run with the team, did not do the warm up.

    My guess is that they were assessing it and injected it, and he went on to have a great second half.

     

    Did I mention how passionately I would like to punch Cox in his teeny tiny nuts?!

    Glad we're not heading in banged up as compared to last year.

    In fairness to the club i think we've handled injury management a lot better then what we did last year.

    Can't help when you pick up impact injuries in finals.

    The worse part is even our depth is thin as they're also on the injury list.

    Someone like a Luke Dunstan would have been handy replacement for Brayshaw and even Ben Brown for JVR.

    People are laughing at this but I’m not joking!

    How lucky are we to have an All Australian ruck just waiting in the wings.

    We are, but nobody is Max Gawn.

    We are cactus without him.

    I wouldn't mind kneeing him in that region..

    I didn't realise we had Tim English to come in. 

    Grundy is a former AA ruckman, just like I'm a former 30 year old.

    Jeez, anything else?  

    Grundy being in our team is amazing, I love it, want him to stay I don't care what anyone says.  Glad he's there.

    Those pies hey, that game was a shocker, I have some faith but honestly if we make it past this week it'll be amazing.  Brisbane will be licking their lips at all this.

    Put max at full forward as a tall target in place of JVR and bring Grundy in to shoulder the ruck duties. How.much do you want a premiership medallion, Brodie?

    The subtext there is that he hasn't been trying.!! FMD!

     But what about the umpires or the AFL?

    They had an opportunity after the first bounce to establish what is acceptable in a ruck contest. They squibbed it.

     

    Cox is a dirty dog

    I agree we managed players and training loads alot better.look how we run out games this year compared to last. We have had retched luck with injuries. Also our game style is so taxing , our players have more KMs and bumps and bruises than some other teams

    if Cox did break Gawns toe

    the pies comments are … 

    🤣🤣🤣

    incidental contact 

    a footy act

    Gawn should have avoided Cox’s foot 

    Gawn should never be playing after a prior foot injury 5 years ago 

    Cox will deliver red wine and roses to max at home 

    we hate Collingwood ( full stop )

    Is there a suggestion that the injury to Gawn isn’t new and he has been carrying it for a few weeks?

    I heard that he’s been playing with the broken toe for weeks but it was aggravated when Cox trod on it during Thursday’s match.

    Mason Cox needs to take a long walk off a short pier. He has the goggles all ready to go, he can swim back to the USA.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
