Now the AFL call inequality just a fixture quirk, and note another example 

 

Terrible news for Jagga. One of my kids favourites from the u/18 crop and a very well spoken young man. Pretty sure the first social media post the Blues put up after drafting Jagga included my son with his Dees jumper on!

Get the feeling Carlton rolled some dice to get a midfield gun into the team to support Walsh & Cripps whilst in their peak, so this will be especially flattening for them. Long term am certain Jagga will come back strong. Will be a star.

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!

Not that much luck!

cruel news for the kid. This year will feel like an eternity.

Poor young man. As if being named "Jagga" wasn't bad enough.

You have to have sympathy for the poor devil.

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

How things change 🙂

Heartbreaker (Doo Doo Doo)

AFL to intervene how?

make the games non contact?

More injuries happen in training and intraclub games 

What is Hardwick going on about - better scheduling > fewer injuries???

But is pushing into packs in causing injuries then that is something the AFL could potentially do something about. (Couldn’t read the story due to HS paywall)

A case could be made the High-Performance Manager is now the most important nonplaying role in footy, including senior and assistant coaches.

Not necessarily. We gave Adelaide Darren Burgess and they still haven't made finals in the 3 years that he has been there.  Horse to water?

Fines mean nothing - if it is deliberate and dangerous suspension is the only deterrent.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
