    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.

    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: 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?
