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.

    • 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?

      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?
