Kane Cornes:

Goodwin just needs to shut it down. Put the players who need it into surgery to give them the best chance of recovery and the best chance of a long pre-season. Oliver needs the biggest and longest pre-season he's ever had. He's a shell of himself and clearly not fit enough to be playing at this level. Fix up Max Gawn, it's cruel that they're forcing him to play because they don't have any other options, and I don't know what's going on with Viney. But there are a number of players  who are clearly affected by injury.

They need to shut the season down and get the players fixed and come back for a big pre-season.

It’s the same ribs as before, so it may not have taken much to re-injure them. 
I suggest it’s season over for him. 

May has been playing through adversity the entire season with those broken ribs. Had a chat to him a couple of times and he expressed that his body wasn’t feeling great. 
 

He has been brave this season, but it’s time to let him heal and set his sights on 2025

100%. If they try bring him back this season I will be [censored]!! Time to throw Petty back and see what Fullarton can do as a forward/ruck at AFL level.

 

I wouldn't be against shutting down Gawn but selfishly he probably needs to play out the year and have a good game in there to secure a 7th AA.


Garry Lyon apparently said Oliver, Viney and Lever all need surgery post season. Just send them in now! Seriously, we don’t have anything to gain playing these guys with 3 games remaining. Get them all 100% ready to go for day 1 of preseason

Sad but true. Now that it’s highly unlikely we make finals , I think we’ll give in and prep for 25. 
 

Going to be a hard watch the next couple- expecting a few spankings.

i personally don't think it would be wise to send everyone off who needs surgery etc. off now, as we already look very short of leadership and senior bodies on the field

based on what seems to be his style of leadership, i can't see gawn wanting to NOT play

it's going to be interesting to see what path we go down for these last games

But it also makes little sense to play injured players when the season is done. It allows them the appropriate recovery time and prep for the 2025 preseason.

Gawn and Viney could use a break.

 

 

It all depends on the depth we have in each position. There's no point playing May and Lever at half fitness when Tomlinson, Petty and Turner are options. 

Viney at full fitness is irreplaceable, but at half fitness you may as well bring in Brown or (shudder) Laurie. 

Gawn is a stubborn fool so I'm assuming he'll keep playing until his leg falls off.

Get most of the guys shut down and play mostly kids. 

And if we lose the remaining games the AFL charges us with tanking and bringing “the game” into disrepute? !

Didn't Geelong do that exact thing last year and it set them up well for this year?  Bet they didn't get charged with tanking.

It’s not tanking, it’s preparing for 2025. Giving the future kids a taste and experience of AFL footy. 
 

Playing AMW, Kolt, Windsor and others this year wasn’t seen as tanking. 3 rounds to go does not put the club in danger of bringing the game into disrepute

I was only joking, but you never know what those weirdos at AFL HQ could do.

Yep, can’t trust the AFL. Consistently inconsistent

I made the same joke to spouse.  Response - wouldn't put anything past those bastards at AFL HQ.

You crossed the line there - Max is no fool 

 

Injury List:  Round 22

Steven May — ribs / TBC             
Christian Salem — hamstring / 1 - 2 weeks
Caleb Windsor — ankle / 2 - 3 weeks 
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / season
Christian Petracca — spleen / indefinite

 


Why play May or Salem in 2-3 weeks?   Get them ready for preseason. 

Time to plan the vegas trip lads

do not upload the whatsapp group chat to the cloud though

If this is not done the club is not giving us the best chance of success in 25.

Trac running again and at the gym, is a good sign. Should be up to decent loads by the time he hits pre season. 

He’s the ultimate professional, so think it will be more mental for him

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
