If you've seen his home setup he has (spa, sauna, ice bath etc) you would know why he could get back so quickly.

I heard Max mention that he thought he had a stalker.

In 2018 WC lost Naitanui ..,Gaff &

Shepherd & went onto win a   GF …it’s about the collective efforts of every player at each match. Do that &

we are in every match , 

Well said Deestar. My take is that if we play how we did vs Brisbane, which I rate as our best game of the season against a very good side, then we give ourselves a good chance of beating any side.

That was also the year Collingwood had plenty of injuries going into finals and they only just lost the GF from a clutch kick from a tight angle. 
 

Everyone is gettable this year. 1 or 2 bad injuries to any team is going to change finals.

Well we already have two of our top 5 or so out for the season through injury (Angus and CP5), another top 22 versatile tall through ? - that is 3 out for the season, and now Max for an undetermined period.

It is an enormous challenge - is not a case of when the going gets tough the tough get going??   Looking forward to what we can pull out if the hat Saturday.  Any sort of win would boost confidence for the remainder of the season.

This thread needs less #notadoctor and more @Webber

It’s an interesting one, Jaded. Little ‘avulsions’ of the fibula often happen when the lateral ligament is torn in a ‘rolled ankle’, and if they’re teensy, we tend to ignore them, so going by the ligament tear and how that’s responding. If it were a grade 1 ligament tear, they’d look to get Max up for this Saturday, so I’m thinking it’s more toward grade 2, hence the 2 games missed scenario. If Max is coming good tho into next week, they will however go by that (as per his own suggestion). The fibula chip is kinda irrelevant. 

Casey track watchers who is best suited to play this weekend on current form Verrall or Fullarton?

I was highly impressed by Verrall's efforts in our pre season hitout against Carlton.

Has Verrall improved since the pre season?

I think we all knew this would happen at some point this season…surely the club had a plan when our 32 year old skipper who plays 90% ruck isn’t available for a couple of weeks?

Clearly they don't

 

We did have an option the other all aust ruckman who we gave away and is now in great form

He’s getting more experience. 
Against Carlton, he was getting good position, but was sometimes pushed out (illegally?). I thought he also did well against Richmond.
From what I saw against Brisbane, and Darcy Fort, who is very highly regarded, he at least broke even. His stats around the ground look to be affected by Brisbane having 3 good rucks. 
He’s a competitive beast, so who knows what could happen if they show some faith in him?
Having said that, Fullarton is in the box seat. His experience counts for something.

did we have a Kentfield  recruited as a big body/


Don't see how Verral has the tank to compete for a full game at AFL level. Draper is a big lad and will surely bully him around the ground, does not offer much as a contested mark either. 

Unsure why we recruited Fullarton if not for these moments.

Where was Grundy supposed to be playing while he waited for Max to go down with an injury though? Clearly playing the two of them together was not working (we should never have brought him in regardless IMO).

If Fullarton doesn't get selected, then why did we recruit him?

Grundy isn't in great form.  He has been beaten (quite badly) in his last two games against Darcy/Jackson and then on the weekend by Marshall, who completely took him apart.  And in case you've forgotten, he got flogged last year by Draper and Phillips.  It was embarrassing watching his lack of ability to defend as the Bomber rucks kicked 5 on him. I get the angst about the Schache selection as sub in last years finals, but don't make Grundy out to be something he wasn't.

Clearly they have a plan and Grundy would not be happy here as you saw last year. Fullarton and Rooey plus maybe Tmac or Tommo will carry the load. 
 

You are bringing up the last  years trading scenarios which are as I have mentioned above. The Plan is obvious.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
