Was Travis injured during last weeks game?

Because according to 774 ABC news this morning, they said that "Aaron Davey and Travis Johnstone look set to play against Collingwood on Monday"

Could this explain his average game?

    Foot, leg, ankle? Think something has been troubling trap below the waist, not sure what though.

    Well if he is set to play, clearly it isn't too bad.

    He is definitely carrying something though.

    Just read that Shaw and Clement are out, while Presti is in doubt and obviously so is Buckley (if he plays, get Carroll to tackle him at the first bounce and he's out of there).

    I'm looking forward to Robbo dominating, now that Clement is not playing.

    Como's out for four, he's screwed his foot. Good news about Shaw, he's a damaging player and thought ten days would have been enough to get over a corky.

    All-Australian defender James Clement and Heath Shaw are both out of contention, with their respective calf and corked-thigh injuries.

    Paul Licuria, who tore a hamstring in Round 4, trained at top pace in his bid to convince the selectors his one game back with Williamstown last weekend is enough preparation to earn a recall.

    Key defender Simon Prestigiacomo was again missing with a continuing foot problem, but he is expected to take his place in the side.

    is it just me or given that the games on monday is it not a long time away to be ruling out a player with a corky?

    According to The Age, Johnno just has "general soreness".

    Which means anything from a broken bone, to OP, to pulled muscle, to toothache, to "we're trying to confuse Collingwood".

    'General soreness' is probably the most useless injury term in AFL.

    Which player doesn't have general soreness at Round 11?

    That's what I would have thought and it's been alluded during the week that he was going to pull up.

    Well he’d been our best player against West coast and the kanga’s but he started the adelaide game on the bench. Also started after half time on the bench. This would suggest that either ND was trying to lose, or something’s not quite right with him.

    Presti has stress fractures of the foot which has been troubling him.

    Not at all, the corky Shaw got was very severe. He probably still has bleeding in his leg and would be finding even walking difficult.

    Maybe he need to knock the top off one

    The stats surely tell the story.

    Game time v Adelaide = 54%.

    If he were 100% fit, that would be >80%.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
