    Why does it always happen to good guys like Trac. Not just a player but a humble champion fella. Great though he will fully recover that more important than a game

    Get well soon Trac. In some ways I'm happy its clear he has to take the rest of the year off. He needs to recover fully and rest.  A mental break will be good for him too.

    Play some kids, get an easy draw for next year, draft picks, trades and go again.

    All the best in recovery Christian, No thuggery against maggies. We do not want suspensions for round 1 next year.

    Given no pre season for Clarry, Gus gone, Tracc out for year our midfield looks shot. Viney looks like he might have a minor calf issue.

    Time to play ANB mid with Sestan on a flank (he does not have ANBs tank though) and bring in Tholstrup for mid/forward duties.

    Also i think we will see young Brown play a few games this year as a forward/mid. He reads the play well and has pace and evasive skills.

    Just came in out of the rain to check DL; going back out.

    Swift recovery Tracca.

    The filth really have smashed us in the last couple of years.

    Am actually genuinely afraid of what might happen in the last game of the season now; pestilence, plague, flood?

    Will be interesting to see who steps up from here & how Goody re calibrates us back to 2017 status.

    just wondering why Collingwood’s medicos haven’t been subject to the same scrutiny for this.. very convenient 

    Duh! Scrutiny of the Pies has been outlawed...

    Shane Zantuck would come in handy too.

    Maybe a bit of whacko Jacko as well - Mark Jackson.  He might even be able to kick a goal or two before he's banned for life....

     

    On a more serious note, wishing Trac a full recovery.  Hope he's still got his spleen though with the injury he's reportedly got, that might not be possible.

    Is it wrong that I’m of the opinion we should now spend the back half of the year focusing on development for 2025?

    WE must have some great medical staff who could not diagnose his condition was too serious to send him back on. If this was another club we would be screaming blue murder. We deserve all we get from the AFL. We literally put the guys life at risk.

    A lot of rubbish in this thread about our medical team.

    and I hate the pies as much as anyone but Moore did not intend to injure trac.

    Seriously. Some people need to get a grip.

    Take a look at the incident carefully and I don't think there is much doubt that Moore deliberately put his knee "hard" into tracs back.

    Hard to tell. 

    What I do know is that it was an unnecessary thing to do. I mean it was a spoil and not a specky. The knee wasn't giving him any altitude so I do wonder why he stuck it out.

    People argue it's a footy act but imagine if everyone did it on every occasion. There wouldn't be too many players running about that's for sure so one has to wonder why he chose to put out his knee.

    And nobody can argue that it was a casual affair.

    I mean four busted ribs, a torn spleen and a hole in the blokes lung ....come on. That's a normal footy act? And Traccas a fairly solid build with a fair bit of muscle and mass around those injured parts. If Moore did that to someone like Bowey or McAdam he probably would have broken them in half.

    All I'm saying is Moore is a big player at 220 odd pounds and over six feet six, he can do a lot of damage with those knees.

    Ill concede that knees in the back happen and aren't illegal but Moore would have to be aware it's dangerous to do.

    But if this happened on a regular basis and we saw these types of serious injuries every week, the AFL would have to do something.

    So while it's technically legal, it's not exactly fair or sporting. Moore had nothing to gain in doing it and here we are with another Mfc player smashed by a pies one.

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
