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.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
