    I wouldn’t worry Picket, the report said it was done at training on Friday afternoon.

    Heard from a friend of a friend that, Traccs cracked ribs are on the minor side of things. They said, he said, "if it was in season he would be playing next week".

    Apparently it takes 6 weeks for a cracked rib to fully recover, so if you go by that timeline he’ll miss the first practice match (V maybe North around 20 Feb??). This is on the assumption they go fully conservative on him.

    Makes you wonder how and why May missed just one game with his fractured rib.

    The first key to success for 2025 is to have a strong and healthy pre season. Already we have our best 2 players missing the entire January…

    You can still train with a cracked rib….don’t panic…..yet!

    No contact for 2-3 weeks to be on the cautious safe side.

    He will be fine one would think.

    My memory tells me Jimmy played on through cracked ribs, as a ruckman!

     

    I don't expect the same from Trac but this is not a disaster.

    Not good particularly when he was already behind the 8 ball fitness wise, was hard to see him been 100% this year before this, even more so now

    I understand from 'sources close to the Club', Trac's been so far behind the 8-ball lately, he might start as a tagger in games—just to see if he can catch up.

    Just hope he is mentally strong enough now to be able to move forward and put his body on the line when needed... feel for the guy. I don't know if I could do it.. but il back him in. Just hope this is the very last time we hear the words petracca and cracked ribs again.

    Nope not the Case, from what Ive seen from training sessions is that he was and is in great nick. My concern from what my source is, that the same rib as previous has been damaged! This is shizzen news if coŕrect!!🤯

    Rib injuries are actually quite common in the arts of grappling.

    Many have played with broken ribs before, so it can be done.

    If he is not peak fitness in the first half of the season, play him forward. He’ll give many a defender nightmares as a permanent forward.

    I would not be averse to him playing in that role anyway, notwithstanding the current rib issue. A great weapon to have there in the post ANB period and it would give our younger mids starting with Trent Rivers the opportunity to blossom in a new look midfield.

    Having broken ribs myself, the recovery is mainly about pain tolerance. You can do pretty much everything you would normally, but some things are just a lot more painful. Even things you wouldn't expect, like pull ups. It's an upper body exercise, but having your arms in the air pulls on your ribcage. Hurts.

    So you can train and play but it'll be uncomfortable. Trac I expect it will be in the yellow bib at training for a bit so it heals fully.

    Sneezing was the worst for me..

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
