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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
