Absolutely fantastic - stoked to see - well done Daniel Turner and good luck! Nice change to see the happy and united team on the track after the week we've had off the field! Bring on Monday.

I'd like to see AFL reporters be compelled to disclose which clubs they support ahead of their segments/articles (akin to finance journalism). Would put an interesting perspective on the various positions they argue for.

People need to bear in mind Turner is not a green 18yo, he's 20 - that's 2 important years of physical and mental development.

He did get a mention in Max's interview just now - interesting..

Instead of this community service bollocks, how about some anger management classes! Imagine being a family at a nearby table when this garbage went on. A table full of muscular blokes on the amber fluid throwing banter around is antisocial and obnoxious as it is. Let alone the escalation to a 190cm 100kg+ specimen getting decked, before the both of them scuffling, breaking fittings inside, and ending up on the street. So easily could have led to injuries to bystanders, etc. Just disgraceful, especially from senior players. How on earth was melksham not suspended for responding to words with physical assault, in public no less, and against a recently concussed player???

Are they a Pies supporter? I'd hope the club would have reached out to the venue today.

If true, to have that comment from a teammate with the premiership medallion must have seriously stung. It's not like it just came from some oppo supporter nuffie in the street.

To anyone who actually knows this stuff, is the mooted late season return prospect at all realistic with a low grade lisfranc issue supported by a plate via surgery?

His last two games probably took care of that.

Can mitch cleary get suspended for a week for that egregious misuse of the hyphen in "one-match"?

Jeez the media will have a field day with this. Terrible undisciplined look. WTF is going on?

Pretty fair positioning for Trac. His first two weeks were sublimely explosive but a possible knee injury and/or other niggles and illness have certainly taken away a lot of his power and explosiveness. Seems to have tied himself in some psychological knots around his set shot goal kicking too. Hoping the bye freshens him up for a strong 2nd half of the season.

Goodwin in his presser said when asked that TMac had some soreness in his foot/ankle and that he was going for scans this week. Journalist mentioned lisfranc injury but not confirmed by goody. That would be a 3 month plus recovery if true i believe, but Goodwin's mention of "going for scans" is inconsistent with the rumour that he'd already had scans and was going in for surgery. Could be a smokescreen or the rumours are misplaced - time will tell. I did get the vibe that Goodwin is expecting TMac to be out for some period though - there wasn't the usual "he'll play next week" kind of comments. If he is done for the year he'll be sorely missed going on the form of our other tall forwards. Fingers crossed it's a better outcome than that.

Is there any veracity to this claim beyond a rumour from the gameday thread alleging TMac told some random spectator at the G that he was having surgery and would be out for the year? Seems an unusually detailed set of information to relay... 🤔

He's not on our list.

Well f me we looked absolutely knackered there in the last. Those intercept marks by Syd in defence screwed us. Better hope we're in the midst of some serious loading on the training track because our much vaunted fitness looks to have evaporated.

Really letting ourselves down with crappy turnovers

Thank freaking chrabst for Fritta and Harmes

Jackson is having a real crack.

And half what Neal-Bullen got for a tackle back in 2020.

I believe the MSD was just this week. I don't think Ellison was selected?

Literally kicks himself forward off the Geelong player's front. Absolutely pathetic. Should be reported.

Had a pretty tough run with injuries last year and covod screwing up the vfl so it's great to see him developing nicely this year.

Or indeed their parents, where acts like Franklin's must make low-contact winter offerings such as soccer increasingly appealing.
