Given he is one of our best field kicks this is terrible news 

Courageous act with undeserved consequences - speedy recovery Jake

    The only player to play Bowsers role is Salo. We're missing Gus big time already, he could've plugged in either position in the midfield or half back.

    still think we need salem more in midfield than defensively

    we'll have to cobble a back 7 together out of may - lever - tomlinson - rivers - howes - mcvee - one other

    windsor to be a sheezel across half back?

    hore to resume his afl career?

    woewodin or pup brown to emulate their dads and kickstart careers as defenders?

    Let’s see what Hore can do……big big loss, at this rate we’ll be fielding half a VFL side soon enough

    Wait what? Are there more injuries besides Bowey, Petty, McAdam, Hunter and Melksham? Did we get more injuries in the practice match today??

    Figures. It could have been an AC reco, so I suppose it’s not that bad. But collarbone surgery is as bad as it could get for a collarbone.

    One tough cookie is Bowey.

    I wish we could play him in the fwd line at times.

    This season is starting to suck already.

    He'll be back in time for the late season surge.

    Will be missed horribly in the meantime. Climibng towards Neville Jetta levels of underrated, though quite a different player.

    No but we’re fielding a weak side. Try these names on for size Petty, Hibberd, Grundy, Bowey replaced by Schache, Laurie, Windsor and Howes. I guess what I’m trying to say is we can’t afford any more key injuries, Schache can’t play ever again. It really makes the non playing of Grundy embarrassing. There was a Flag up for grabs and we didn’t even pick our best side. All the club apologists over this preseason would  be mocking any other club who did what we did. Amateur hour. And yes I will keep banging on about it because we’re a rung below these clubs now and it’s hard to get back up. We almost need to bottom out and get some top picks.

    Windsor into the midfield and Salem back (once Hunter is back). 

    … and before Hunter is back?  Woewoden to HB perhaps. Snr started there as I recall.

    Agree Mono would love to see Taj play half back, I remember when Shane started out on the back flank he was very good.

    I thought he was one of pir better players before getting injured, and one of our most important disposers. I'd argue our most important now that Salem looks set for more midfield.

    Jake will be sorely missed.  
    Has he missed a game since his debut? Can’t recall any.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
