News 2025 Injuries, Suspensions, and Concussion Protocols

[Scythe]

Didn't realise Gawn had dropped so much. IF Xerri plays and keeps him to a reasonable score he will be cheap soon. Might even be able to swap a spud like Cerra to him.

Posted this earlier in the season - worth keeping in mind (though there's no denying the value if he gets cheap)

And one more for the folks looking at Gawn that's worth considering (bearing in mind that he's 33-years-old and hasn't played every game in a season since 2021). His past five seasons:

2024
Average after eight rounds: 133
Average for remainder of season: 118.6

2023
Average after eight rounds: 112 (removing injury-affected 0)
Average for remainder of season: 103.1

2022
Average after eight rounds: 120.5
Average for remainder of season: 108.0

2021
Average after eight rounds: 127.8
Average for remainder of season: 116.8

2020
Average after eight rounds: 153.7 (lol)
Average for remainder of season: 126

This is not to say he'll be a bad pick, but just worth considering if there's value getting him at ~$690k considering his tendency to burst out of the blocks and the fact you've likely missed just missed his two best scores for the season.

Xerri's almost certain to be out you'd think.

I know they say he "passed" his test but gee he didn't look right did he.

No chance AFL let them play him with how he looked.

Gawn who

 

[mochacinolatte]

Xerri will be underprice next year given how many injury affected games he had this year lol...

 

[Petrify]

Interesting non owner look Xerri and Caldwell News tomorrow

Caldwell rumoured to be out for rest of season needing surgery

 

[mochacinolatte]

Might trade Xerri to Grundy if he is out this week. Need to be aggressive when playing for overall.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Underpriced as long as he doesn't have more injury effected games next year.

Xerri and Caldwell owner checking in

 

[croweater 41]

Hopefully its a Bont illness and he scores 220

 

[cznsnowy91]

Damn shame about Caldwell if he's really out, he's been a great value premo pick.

 

[THECHIEFTON]

Ahh well looks like I'm sideways trading Caldwell to Zerrett if he's cooked. Didn't look that bad at the time.

[Petrify]

Rumours were basically true then

Caldwell rumoured to be out for rest of season needing surgery

Crap news for Caldwell owners. Was a great pickup as a POD. Gave him serious consideration but his lack of continuity with lack of trades steered me away. Bullet dodged I guess.

Same reason I didn't pick him up, it's pretty unlucky for owners as it was just an injury that can happen to anyone at any time. Its not even due to his bad injury history

I've had all of Macrae, JHF, Callaghan and now Caldwell.

Xerri should be fine if he passed and had no delayed symptoms.

 

[MrChristo]

Xerri should be fine if he passed and had no delayed symptoms.

As someone else mentioned though, the optics are awful for the AFL.
I expect him to miss.

 

[gutsroy]

Figured Caldwell would be fine, rough luck to do it so close to the end of the game.

Rachele (assume maybe draft relevance at most)

 

[pincrusher]

If Xerri misses Gawn may very well score enough points for both of them.

 

[Spanghertron]

Xerri should be fine if he passed and had no delayed symptoms.

You'd think, but the fact he is still being monitored after being cleared tells me there is a level of caution. Hopefully he stays in the clear.
