Been told Lukers acl is in tact but he needs a scan to confirm what has happened within the knee

    Where’s Melky in all of this?

    Love Melky but I think we can still avoid having him as a tall atm. Especially coming back from injury.

    Certainly didn’t look like an ACL action, was a bit like Sam Darcy’s injury last season…what was that 8-10 weeks

    AFL club doctors can diagnose an acl tear with around 95% accuracy

    Low key approach to this news.

    Yeh for sure but I hope he’s not sent to the magoos all year. He’s too smart for that and has significantly more skill than them.

    Shame his body is last used by date.

    Nathan Jones said he was in a lot of pain. Isn't it often said that the 'bad' knee injuries aren't so painful? So, maybe (🤞) 'not-so-bad' news?

    Yes, as I understand it, the initial injury is painful, but as it often severs the nerve(?), the pain can be very short lived. From memory, when my son did his acl, he initially cried out in pain, but after that, was not feeling too much at all.

    Is the Richmond player that whacked him going to get weeks or what?

    Thought coat hangers went out of the game years ago.

    The AFL said last season they will crack down on players who “make them pay” with blows to the head on opposition players in marking contests. Most cases deserve a free kick but in this case there was a serious injury forcing the player off the field. It was obvious Kentfield was incapacitated before he hit the ground. The punitive laws should be applied like with a dangerous tackle causing injury. Deserves a three weeks suspension.

    I’ve always been of the thought that it should be the action and not the outcome that gets punished.

    Maggot was very reluctant with the whistle as well. You know free kick or play on, up until he was lying on the ground almost.

    Some funny not 15 mtrs decisions as well.

    Me too. Thats not what the AFL has done over the last few years though.

    I keep flip flopping on this one. The defender has to be allowed to contest the ball and it looked like a simple football accident.

    In the flip side the defender didnt have good eyes on the ball and was just throwing his body and fist in the general direction of the contest. It was extremely clumsy and resulted in our player being hit it the head.

    The Doctor will tell him Caulfield's a bust and that while his knee is ok he will be training at Waverley Park.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
