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.

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
