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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
