The original and the best. Your #1 resource for daily AFL SuperCoach tips and analysis.
Thank you for all the well wishes.
Much appreciated.
Carlton: Tom De Koning.
“He was just too sore. We took a conservative approach… We’ll get Tom back next week. To be able to get the week off and rest a few bruises is probably good for him.”
Michael Voss
WCE: Jeremy McGovern.
McGovern was assessed at end of third quarter for a hit to ribs then he came off the ground late fourth quarter for a thumb injury and didn’t return.
Hawthorn: James Sicily – shoulder.
“Not sure, I haven’t had a medical update. He looked a bit uncomfortable. But he didn’t look too bad. He still had his arms above his head. We’ll be hopeful but not sure.”
Sam Mitchell
Richmond: Dustin Martin
Martin came from ground in third quarter with a back complaint.
He tried to play through but was eventually subbed out.
” Martin’s back seized up, and availability for round 17 to be made during the week”
Port Adelaide. Todd Marshall was Subbed out due to hamstring tightness and Ken Hinkley is hopeful he can play this week.
North Melbourne: Zac Fisher. Has a leg concern that limited him throughout the first half and eventually was subbed out of the game the third quarter.
Alastair Clarkson said that injury was minor and the club will update during the week.
“He just got a knock to his lower leg which we think is minor. He was just hobbling around a little bit and we had the sub. It’s always a question in the coaches’ box… with Fish just hobbling around a bit we thought we’d make the sub and get Dyl Stephens into the game.”
Alastair Clarkson
Because he was kicking the ball too much! 17 kicks in 22 disposals before he was subbed. Most kicks for the team
Probably created back spasms……
…….excuse to play CMcK???
Melbourne: Harrison Petty – ankle
He came from the ground during the third quarter and eventually subbed out in the last.
It is the same ankle he injured in May.
Collingwood: John Noble has entered the AFL’s concussion protocols after undergoing a head injury assessment in the fourth quarter.
Collingwood: Beau McCreery calf strain.
McCreery was substituted out of the game in the third quarter after injuring his calf and is facing some time on the sidelines.
Well back CT
Hoping everything went well and you’ve got plenty more seasons left in you 🙂
The injury to McCreery hopefully helps Richards and he avoids the SUB vest
Great to have you back and appreciate all your efforts
North Melbourne: Tristan Xerri
“He continues to be a real warrior for us in the middle of the ground. He’s going to a lot of contests. He’s getting forward at different stages and kicking goals. That’s handy that he continues to build that part of his game and make him dangerous. He’s making some progress.”
Alastair Clarkson
Western Bulldogs: Marcus Bontempelli – back
“It’s just another week and another performance where he’s gone in with a bit of uncertainty. His belief in himself and his willingness to drive for the team is always there. He was obviously a convincing winner in his position.”
Luke Beveridge
Western Bulldogs:
Taylor Duryea was subbed out with a corked calf and a sore mid-foot.
Laitham Vandermeer had an ankle knock late in the game.
Sydney: Harry Cunningham was subbed out with “hamstring tightness”
John Longmire said he requires a scan
Sydney: Will Hayward who had a right knee complaint.
“He’s had a bit of soreness there but I think he’s OK.”
John Longmire
Gold Coast: Sam Flanders playing midfield.
Damien Hardwick said: “We moved him forward last week. You need three of him, one forward, one midfield, one back. He’s just a special player. I think his progression and the back-end of last year has been really important for this side. He compliments what we already have in that midfield brigade. What we probably did lose down back with him moving into the middle part of the ground, I thought Joel Jeffrey stood up.”
Geelong: Tom Stewart. Moved into Mids.
“The move makes sense to me. I hold him in such high regard. He’s just got great attributes and great attitude to his footy. I don’t think he’s been shooting the lights out, but he’s been going much better than I sense people think he’s been going.
“The way I think about Tom’s game is we want him to maximise his attributes. But that’s the way I think about the game anyway, I’m not a believer that there’s a right way to play the game and you have to force your players into that mode. We believe we look at what we’ve got, and we try and get the right players into their best spots.”
Chris Scott
Latest News- Round 17.
The year of going premo MIDS is a disaster!
Last few weeks the premo midfield I’ve built has been a catastrophe!
Miller, Rowell, Green, Rozee, Steele, really so inconsistent!
Been beaten by the last placed sides in a couple of leagues as they’ve totalled huge scores last couple of weeks!
Time for RESET!
WCE: Matthew Flynn will likely miss a few weeks after being subbed out with an ankle concern.
Simpson said: “I haven’t heard… but I’m assuming he’ll miss a few weeks, minimum.”
So no ruck against Gawn……
Livingstone to step up for debut and score a tonne
Used all your trades have you Nato?
Noooooooo!!!Livingstone is my surrogate captain.
Melbourne: Clayton Oliver
“He’s worked incredibly hard. There’s been a lot of criticism out there about Clayton I think he showed tonight why teams go to him. He’s a very important player that’s got a high level of skill. We’re rapt to see him back to his best tonight.”
Simon Goodwin
Either him or Viney 150+ next week??
Melbourne: Andy Moniz-Wakefield
Goodwin said it was a “really good introduction to AFL footy” for him.
Brisbane: Will Ashcroft ( returned from ACL)
“With his comeback game, he’s another player who’s got that capacity as well. It probably didn’t work as well for him tonight as it will do down the track, as it’s his first game back, but he has that capacity as well.”
“I was happy with him. I didn’t expect much more than that. Looking at his game, there were moments where you just went ‘yeah this guy’s a really, really good player’. I thought he did a good job after not playing for 11-12 months to come in and play a high pressure game like that and have a solid contribution.”
Chris Fagan
Does anyone know of any concerns with Yeo or did he just have an off day or perhaps managed? Just bought him in to finalise my defence and made him my captain
I was initially concerned as he spent half of the first half on the bench.
Then I remembered – he lost his father during the week … I think that was what was happening for him … poor bugger probably shouldn’t have played, but hats off to him for trying.
I agree with your insightful assessment 100%, o’er the hill.
His father passed away
Carlton: Jordan Boyd has copped a one-game ban for front-on contact against Richmond’s Rhyan Mansell.
Gold Coast: Will Graham is the round 16 Rising Star nominee.

Very slim pickings Rick.
See below for details.
How is Zac Williams going for DPP?
Gold Coast: Jarrod Witts out with a fractured vertebrae this week and will be assessed the week after to determine a return to play.
Darcy Moore’s knee claims another victim…..

Darcy Tucker North Melbourne MID DEF/MID
Toby Pink North Melbourne DEF DEF/FWD
Jack Graham Richmond FWD MID/FWD

Unfortunately there are players close but not possible to reach the threshold this week so no notable changes again this round..
De Goey, CT?
De Goey isn’t a consideration
North Melbourne: medical report.
Zac Fisher will need to prove his fitness if he’s to feature against the Suns at Marvel Stadium
The 26-year-old was subbed out of the clash against the Western Bulldogs in Round 16 due to a foot issue.
“Zac had an incident where he twisted his foot in the second quarter,” North Melbourne head of performance Kevin White told NMFC Media.
“He presented with a midfoot sprain which was sore Sunday but is steadily progressing, so we’ll assess his function at the back end of the week to determine his availability.”
North Melbourne Injury Update…
Griffin Logue and Colby McKercher both made it through increased gametime in the VFL over the weekend.
The pair had a light session on Tuesday and will both look to press their case for selection on Thursday during main training
The crystal ball is showing me Fisher out, and CMcK in……
Thx for the updates ct
You’re welcome BJSO, it is good to be back posting the updates.
Richmond mid-season draftee Campbell Gray kicked four goals in the VFL before tearing his hamstring. Out for two months.
Essendon: Sam Durham missed main training today with illness. Still expected to play against the Pies on Friday.
St Kilda: Max King will miss the remainder of the 2024 Season after tearing his PCL against Port Adelaide
Collingwood: Ned Long will make his Club debut on Friday night
North Melbourne: Zac Fisher left the track early and didn’t complete main training today. With no captain’s run officially scheduled tomorrow, Fisher is in doubt to face the Suns on Saturday as he nurses a foot injury
Hawthorn:
Jack Ginnivan in doubt for Saturday. Left the track early with a lower leg issue after doing a fitness test.
Calsher Dear hasn’t trained this week due to soreness.
Luke Breust confirmed to return vs Geelong
GWS: Aaron Cadman and Darcy Jones both training with the main group at the Giants this morning.
Melbourne: Simon Goodwin says Jake Melksham is under consideration for selection in the AFL side this week. The veteran is returning from a knee reconstruction he suffered late last season
North Melbourne: Clarko on Zac Fisher: He won’t play. He came out of the game halfway through the third last week and was hobbling around.
He’s not far away but we want fit players. A big part of his game is his run and kicking. We’re better off getting him right.
North Melbourne: Clarko: Colby and Griff have had really good weeks at reserves level and got some good match fitness.
Colby’s had foot problems before, so we just wanted to make sure we eased him back into full match play. They’ll both come into calculations.
You are a legend CT. The amount of work you do to keep us updated is amazing. Thanks so much mate.
St Kilda: Riley Bonner (foot) failed to complete training today and has been replaced in our squad by Max Hall.
WCE: Jake Waterman is on the plane to Melbourne. Had a fitness test at Mineral Resources Park this morning.
Geelong: Round 17 Emergency Change
Out: Rhys Stanley
In: Connor O’Sullivan
Collingwood: Josh Carmichael has had his meeting with the AFL’s concussion panel. The Pies are awaiting an official ruling. It is safe to say the expectation is that Carmichael is on the verge of being medically retired. A decision from the AFL is imminent.
Collingwood.
Darcy Cameron taken to hospital for assessment on potential cracked ribs.
He copped a hit in the second half to the same area that was under assessment at training during the week.
He’ll also be assessed for any internal damage
Collingwood
The expectation from Collingwood is that Brody Mihocek is out for the season. He’ll head for scans tomorrow morning for confirmation. Torn pectoral 10-12 weeks.
Collingwood: Isaac Quaynor has a toe concern that’ll need a scan.
Weat Coast: Jake Waterman could be a late out tomorrow. Isn’t training at the MCG and is struggling with that right knee which has several stitches in it
Melbourne: Christian Petracca is back in hospital tonight and is facing possible surgery in the coming days.
Melbourne says he has appendicitis, not anything serious emanating from his previous spleen/ribs/lung concerns.
Port Adelaide: Mitch Georgiades has been banned for one match for his strike on Western Bulldogs defender Nick Coffield.
The Match Review Officer graded the incident as intentional, low impact and high contact, resulting in the one-game suspension.
Probably lucky
Greater Western Sydney: Toby Greene has copped a $6,250 fine ($3,750 with an early plea) for a third-quarter strike on Carlton’s Brodie Kemp.
The Match Review Officer graded the incident as intentional, low impact and body contact.
WCE: Jeremy McGovern has been taken to hospital with suspected rib and lung damage following a final-quarter collision.
