    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 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
