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.

Good thing we have Grundy.

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.

This… it might go down as a huge master stroke

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.

  • Demonland changed the title to Injury Cloud over Max & Clarry

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.

Aim for his guts Jaded. They haven’t dropped as yet. 👀

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

Quick  who can I blame?

Endless really....

The Board, Greg Stafford, Maynard, Burgos replacement, the Home Base committee, whoever recruited the old crock, Grundy, Cox,....

 

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? 

Put him at full forward.

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. 

 

I give up

Just cannot take a trick

Oh well Grundy must play now

Mason has picked up all the "good" points about AFL fair ruck play/contesting, funnily enough, at, of all Clubs, Collingwood....go figure

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
