Potentially horrible result for AMW. Absolute shame as he was looking in ripping form for R1. 
 

Fingers crossed it’s a more fortuitous result for the young man.

    Is Johnson playing?  Surely he should be the relief ruck. 

    yep has been as good as campbell in one qtr, very impressive

    AMW looks like the dreaded knee. Fingers crossed. Geez I hope we don’t become the ‘injury ridden team’ this year.

    There's a reason the NFL has banned the hip drop tackle - very annoying to see it pulled out with a couple of minutes to go in a match sim.

    Possibly an MCL? He was holding the inside of the knee.

    Yeah that’s what I thought. Which is consistent with that type of tackle where they are dragged as trying to turn.

    On the tv coverage it looked like he pointed more to the inside of his knee rather than the outside. (Which would be a good sign if it was a medial not an acl)

    Harry Sharp and Langford certainties to debut in R1 the takeaway from today

    Aidan Johnson very good in his one quarter

    Teams have been doing it for several years now. There have been several knees courtesy of this dangerous tackle.

    Would think Lindsay is a certainty too. He is all class.

    That was my suspicion, often hurts more than acl. Hoping for the best

    He was like a dumb extra. It was always Skull Murphy who applied the sleeper hold...

    ACL by the looks. A couple of big F words as he comes off. 

    What? Like 'Floccinaucinihilipilification'?

    I was hoping for a narrow win with no injuries. Still, glad to get the 4 points, and the percentage could be handy.

    Campbell rucked against Xerri and the 193cm Johnson rucked against skinny kids.

    I can't ever remember Brute Bernard wrestling one-on-one, he was always with Skull Murphy. 

    Usually against Spiros Orion and Mario Milano (before he went "bad")

    I’m not able to watch but been reading this and thought we were 5 goals down. Get a grip people!

    Pessimism seems rife on the comments so far ... and very limited for the DL  folk who cannot get to the game.

    I don’t know why they didn’t go with AJ in place of Jeffo. He does provide that 2nd ruck option to chop out Gawn. I don’t know if that’s the plan with Campbell.

    Bill already has his ticket punched and Jeffo looking to be that way as well unfortunately for the both of them. 
     

    I did however think Chandler worked really hard playing in that role. Often goes unnoticed as it’s a forward defensive role.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
