I immediately thought it was a kidney. Looked like a boxer that copped a heavy kidney shot from how long it took he to ‘recover’ and the level of pain. Watching him walk off, I was expecting him to go to Hospital and get checked out. I think it’s worth saying that players will always want to go back out on the ground and the pain threshold goes through the roof when you’ve got adrenaline pumping through you. Just from my own experience (and I’m 100% positive other people on here have experienced the same thing) I’ve broken fingers whilst playing footy and just kept going because I wanted to keep playing. Which isn’t a ‘toughness’ thing, it’s physiological. If I did the same thing at home, I wouldn’t be just going about my day, it’d [censored] hurt. Things hurt less on the footy field. My point being (and this isn’t a defence, it’s just true) it must be hard to assess a situation like that in the heat of the moment for a doctor. Having a player continuously say they’re right to go, doing sprints on the sidelines etc. Still the wrong call to let him back on but as others have said, the AFL should really be supplying equipment to deal with these situations. Could’ve ended very, very badly. P.S. I can’t remember the exact examples, but there’s been a couple times this year that I thought a player was unable to continue playing, only to be perfectly fine 10 minutes later. So when he was going back on I thought it was one of those scenarios.

Ahhhh the images. Tracc emerging from the race full pace, knocking over all the doctors in his way trying to stop him, they’re all crying ‘Christian, please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO’

I’d agree if the criticism was incorrect, premature or over the top but I think he’s pointing out things that everyone already knows and has been spoken about for more than 3 years (like Schwartz said). I’m happy that someone associated with the club is talking with some passion and representing the frustrations of the supporter base. I agree with you as a general rule though. I think in this instance it’s necessary.

If you’re going to include Brayshaw then add Nathan Murphy to Collingwoods outs too and that loss is even worse.

‘They locked them out of the half time meeting?’ Could you clarify this? Who got locked out of the half time meeting?

I reckon our forward problems have been spoken about since 2019 at least. Unless I’m misremembering

JVR?

4 finals in a row we’ve lost because we can’t convert. Today, 21 scoring shots to 19 with the easiest conditions to score. The week after ‘enough is enough’ with top 4 and top 8 on the line. Lose by 38. Kicking to player disadvantage all over the ground. Players mindset is obviously screwed. Commentators referencing that we look ‘scared/afraid/timid’ and we’re the 3rd most experienced list. Where is our resolve? See if Roos wants to coach again and I’m not even joking. Goodwin and the current coaches are unable to fix our problem between the ears. There is something seriously wrong. Weed out the problem players and get a god damn proper forward coach. This current set up is not going to get it done obviously.

It looks so weird when we actually kick to to the advantage of a leading player. It stands out when it should be the norm.

He only needs to kick 15 goals and we’ve got Collingwood right where we want em’

Better Dees! Just move the ball with intent. C’mon boys, you can do this

Man we just beat ourselves. Crazy dumb turnovers and missing easy shots whilat we just hand the [censored] ball to them and they waltz in and kick easy goals. It’s self sabotage.

FREE TO ANB??????? WTF?????

ANB you legend

C’mon Roo!!!!! Shove it up em

Good man!!!!!!!!!!!! C’mon dees don’t lose it these bastards. Have some pride

This is against a depleted Collingwood team with no: Elliot De Goey Mitchell Mihocek Pendlebury Cox. This is probably the weakest Pies team we’ve played in many years. WTF.

For [censored] sake, what is with our skills?????

Oh my god

No advantage because????

I think I’d rather unplug a disgusting toilet than watch St Kilda?

Seeing the Ross Lyon game plan in this era is bizarre. There is absolutely nothing to watch for as a neutral supporter.

This is a very frustrating game to watch.

That’s no a free kick. He pushes him in the chest.

Was a perfect bump from what I could see and got him a split second after kicking it.
