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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
