A nasty injury to come back from. Not a short recovery either.

It's always been his weak spot.

i saw 6-12 weeks from now nominated as a likely timeframe, so back before gil's round a chance

I think the article on afl said 6-12 months if we are talking about Todd Marshall

I hate to see any player cop that sort injury, particularly in the preseason.

ah, i read it on the sun website first and they were saying 6-12 weeks; presumably they actually meant months

i did think 'that's a quick recovery'

Yep ... can relate to that.

Coughing and laughing weren't great either.

Yeah coughing, laughing, hiccups even just deep breaths.
All not ideal.

Thanks for the invite!🤪

Feel for Todd Marshall, good player who could be great if his body would hold up. The Dee’s have had their fair share of those.

Jack Lukosius should be a logical replacement for Marshall as that third key forward option.

Good bit of recruiting in hindsight by Port.

lukosius is a strange one

he went from a precocious talent to an atrocious one

Well whoever that tackler was should be unleashed on Maynard next season

For a second I thought you meant unleashed to Maynard for doing such a thing!

The good old Feral Hun.  Sometimes I think they are not even sure when they are peddling disinformation, misinformation or simply making a mistake (which I think they did this time)

Sensational reporting Ethan!

Cracked ribs are worse than tennis elbow.

But golfers balls is no laughing matter for sure.

As for Achilles injuries, time wounds all heels.

I am concerned that while ribs heel quickly, if it's the same ribs compliments of Moore's knee, is it likely to happen again?

Do they become as good as prior? 

I think all of this will test Tracc's mental fortitude. 

It could impact his confidence in his body and thus his game.

Oh Cwood you pack of t#76$, another gift from them that keeps taking.

And to think there were rumors about Tracc joining them.

That game where Tracc was injured, was a missed opportunity to repay a few debts.

 Shame.

In three consecutive losses against Collingwood:

1) We've lost a club great due to a crude hit

2) We lost out best player for the second half of that season, effectively ending our season at the time

3) Lost our gun small forward live wire for the first 3 games of the next season, potentially threatening our W/L record to start the 2025 season.

What's next?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
