hardly 12 months. I think you'll find that the moment SIA get off their rear-ends and convene, that time served will be the punishment. We will impose 2 games like every other club. He is [censored] for doing it, but wasn't the first or will be the last to take recreational drugs in-season. 

I wouldn't be surprised if we went a bit harder on the club imposed suspension.

Think 4 AFL matches minimum.

    Any news on Kade Chandler???

    Don't think fitness was his issue.

    Looked to be back training yesterday.

    Its never a good time but to do it in pre-season seems so cruel. Couldn't see him playing next year. He will have to rehab essentially until March 2025.

    And from memory he will be out of contract at the end of 2024. Its a 2 way street with contracts. Get injured and you could get shafted with a poor contract.

    I understand that young Bailey has done extremely well in business venture and will not be sweating on a big contract to pay the rent, bread and milk post 2024.

    Petty back up and running after 131 days.

     

    Encouraging. Only just started on the anti-gravity treadmill.

    Feel for the bloke, we've likely seen his last game.

    Surely he and club could've done the selfless thing, come to a financial agreement and retired. Who didn't see this coming? Won't play a game this year. Could've used his spot to select JVR's brother in the rookie draft but now he's training with Freo which could turn out a disaster for us, they know what they're doing ...

    Stick a fork in him, he’s just about done I’m afraid.

    Forward line is going to be a problem yet again this year.

    JVR, Petty and Fritsch will have to bear the goal scoring load this year. Any contribution we get from BB this year will be a bonus.

    Whatever's happens, we'll always have 2021. BB was fantastic in the finals series.

    Hang on I’m just ringing Schultz, Acres and Henry to see if they agree with you.

    Plus Fullarton is available, Tom Mac is fit again, Verrall and Jefferson may be improvers, as may the smaller Seston and Schache is break glass.

    Disco is another that could be tried up forward if we are desperate.

    Ed Langdon anyone?!!

    Jesse Hogan for pick 6 (which we used to get Steven May) was a great success for them too!

    Benny was restricted to only 7 games last year. Him not being there was not the issue.

    Forward line only became a problem when we started losing the pieces towards the end of the year.
    We were the highest scoring team for most of the season. 
    In saying that I hope we haven’t seen the last of Benny.

    On the bright side...

    No, I can't quite find a bright side.

    The most positive I can be is that he might be available and fresh late in the season, OR he will call it a day and we can pick up someone in the mid-season draft or even the pre-season supplementary which runs until mid Feb.

    Does anyone have some clarity about the latest changes to the 'inactive list' because if Brown is out for 6 to 8 weeks we may actually be eligible to put him on the inactive list right away without him retiring, which would let us snap a SSP selection. Perhaps the junior Van Rooyen can be ours after all?

    I can’t believe anyone here actually thought he would play a role this year. Cooked is a massive understatement. Brown, TMac and to a slightly lesser extent Schache are what are commonly referred to as list cloggers. 21 was a long time ago for mine so please don’t roll out the “They helped us a win a flag and deserve…..” Rubbish it’s a business and we’re not playing it hard enough atm. 
    Jeez, I really got fired up!!

    Admire the bloke's tenacity. Just a flesh wound! A 6-8 week rehab will see him cherry ripe for round 0.

    I'm surprised theres such a strong reaction.

    He signed a 4 year deal with a degenerative knee condition. A lot of us on here knew at the time that anything we got in the fourth year would be a bonus.

    It was a shame that we couldn't get what we needed out of him last year when we needed it. 

    He was a 200cm proven key forward who was available. He got a 4 year deal that we knew he probably wouldn't see out to the end. We got a kpf for a good price when we needed it. He was very important in 2021. Its worked out to be a pretty good deal for both parties.

    He has had a fantastic career, he is a fantastic person.

    Sad to see his body break down like this, hopefully he can retire on his own terms.

    • 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?
