Sounded like we were super keep on him in the draft too. Makes you appreciate how much luck can be involved.

    Shocking news for the kid. He can take example from our own Christian Petracca who also suffered a torn ACL in his first year at the club, worked hard to come back (and from the experience of some of my own family members who have undergone that surgery, it’s hard work) and win a Norm Smith, a premiership medallion and acclaim as one of the great players of our game.

    Good luck Jagga!

    Terrible luck for the kid, but this should shorten the rising star odds for Langford.

    Awful news

    Other then our new draftees, Jagga was the one I was excited to watch this year.

    Rotten luck for Jagga Smith.

    My heart goes out to him. I have injured my ACL in my knee playing footy in the past and know how tough it is to recover.

    I was definitely keen on the Demons to draft him, but the Blues had the earlier pick in the draft and snapped him up.

    I wish him all the best with his recuperation. ❤️

    Fingers crossed for our own Andy Moniz-Wakefield and his injury diagnosis. 🤞🏻

    Yes rotten luck. 
    even if you do not run a two year old yearling in a Melbourne cup   You can still have unfortunate occurrences.

    good luck AMW at least you had 12 months or more conditioning but still hurt your knee.   let’s not put too much pressure on our man Harvey.

    Whether young or old, I never like to see season ending injuries, but this being Carlton (and the AFL's darlings), they may get the SSP extended and that might be good for us, considering the possibility of losing AMW for the year

    the ssp won't be extended

    it's now a case of waiting til the mid season draft to be able to bring a player on to the list, if determined that it's worthwhile doing so

    Probably not this year, but clubs are pushing the AFL for next season: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1271028

    How I hope you haven’t just karma’d us into a disaster year.

    My Blue-supporting brother made a special effort to avoid gloating about all our issues in 2024 as a football karma consideration. To his full credit, he didn't even gloat about not gloating.

    So I'm doubly conscious that ' VNightCityLegend' is inviting all kinds of karma bus, and we should collectively admonish him to ensure the trouble only heads to Tottenham.

    Carlton's supporter base has always had a healthy flavour of superstition and they must be right on edge at the moment after losing Newman, now Jagga, and the major scares to Walsh and Curnow.

    I suspect Carlton would have seriously considered Jagga even if he'd done the knee before the draft, and he's still got a long and likely shining career ahead of him, but there is something really unpleasant about seeing a kid take a hit like that. All the best to him.

    Hate Carlton but also hate to see any young man having a serious injury while trying to make a career in the AFL. Hopefully he comes back bigger and stronger.

    Agreed. Preferably playing for someone who isn’t Carlton

    Yes i vaguely remember that now, that you mention it, incredible when you think about it, being a tear, it would depend on the length i suppose…

    I remember when Petracca did his knee at this same time of the preseason in his first year. He went on to have a great career but at the time it felt like the sky was falling. Early picks are such a huge investment.

    Hopefully he can recover like tracc did.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
