How many players do we already know of that are going to have a hampered pre season??

nothing frustrates me more than having 8 players that cant complete a full pre season for various injury reasons, then have a crappy season and either get the "had a hampered pre season" comments or get bloody injured again..

are all of these players going to have a crappy pre season?

jarad rivers

brock mclean

brent moloney

chris johnson

paul johnson

aaron davey

russell robertson

austin woeneamirri

any others

can colin sylvia finally manage a full pre season?

    I read that Brock McLean only went into surgery so that he wouldn't be hampered in the pre-season. Jared Rivers' condition is a mystery to me, but I'd hope that with the best part of four months off since his last game, he'd be pretty much right to start his own specially-tailored routine come October 13. My feeling is that the only two blokes who won't be training with the others on that day are Robbo and Riv. Everybody else should have had enough time to recover.

    Yep, its a hip not a knee for sure. Didnt sound overly serious as he played Rd 21 after they announced he needed the op!

    my mistake...

    still, most season ending operations need a fair amount of recovery time

    a round 21 season ending surgery isnt as bad as a round 3 surgery ;)

    was put out when he was as so he would be raring to go for preseason...

    speaking of robbo, is he certain to stay on the list, im not too sure how much we'll see of him in 09

    Well I know he's got another three years on his mind. Not that that means anything, by the way. White and Yze both wanted another two. But I think Robbo will prove a lot of guys wrong in the coming years. He kicked about 25 goals in 10 games in a shocking team. He may not be what he was, but I think he's got a bit left in him. Who knows, the guy might still be around in a few years time to provide a good third dimension to the forward line.

    In any case, I wish him all the best. One of my favourite guys at the Club.

    Chris Johnson, Moloney, Mclean, Paul Johnson will all be fine

    Rivers is the only cloud- because it will prevent him from running because its a chronic problem he has had

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
