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.

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
