Hopefully the Chip is ok as I was in the rooms after the game and he was on crutches. *GULP*

Would he be our most important player now? IMO he is very close. It is nice that we have Matt Warnock playing excellent footy at Casey and would be ready, but we would miss Chip no doubt.

Thanks to Don McLardy for the invite to the rooms yesterday, great to belt out the song with the boys!!

Go Dees!

    No idea what has happened, but crutches immediately after a game or even in the days after is not always the bad sign that many assume it is. Crutches take the weight off an injured leg, foot, whatever. Happens all the time that a player is on crutches after a game but plays the next week.

    Anyway, it's probably just a chip...

    How did you get from Chip on crutches to him having a broken toe?

    Broke my toe the day before playing in a grand final once. Strapped it, played and won. I was 12 at the time. Couldn't see a broken toe keepin Chip out

    That's what I heard from people in the room after seeing him on crutches.

    As per usual.. Cam Schwab uploads a couple of videos on his twitter of the players in the rooms after the game. I had a nother look to see if I could find Frawley...

    Video 1: After the game. Chip was walking around without crutches but had a slight hobble. Ice on his ankle and part of his leg which is the norm for most players.

    Video 2: The warm-down. Chip was lying on his back with no crutches near him.

    Just relaying what was on video, mate.

    Wasn't on crutches the whole time. Should be fine. No injuries mentioned in the Hun today also.

    Indeed!

    He is tough bugger, I'd imagine it would take a lot to keep him out.

    We have had Dunny on crutches for the last two weeks, seems to be able to leave them in the dressing room on game day,I think there is a lot of messing around going on, I was even amazed to see the players messing around with the numbers on the training tops at the training on Saturday morning, there were at least half a dozen in the wrong number.....Hawthorn would love Chip not to be there......he was standing ok roaring out the song

    Clubs are quite protective of any niggles that players may have and probably wouldn't appreciate this thread.

    Was mentioned on the radio after the game by the commentators that it was a rolled ankle. Not confirmed by the club though

    The 774ABC coverage said during the game that he was off for a period of time getting an ankle attended to. Came back on and finished out the game, obviously.

    Exactly.

    I don't want Buddy, or anyone else next week testing out his foot.

    So folks, nothing to see here. Our AA defender is raring to rip another forward a new one.

    Yep, sure the Hawks are all over this thread and wouldn't have a clue otherwise! :wacko:

    I am sure Alistair Clarkson when he was sitting in the stands on Sunday would have noticed Chip 'limp' off, gee guys we can discuss it, as long as we don't become alarmist......and the black clouds begin to descend

    Exactly. We support our club and support our players. We can DISCUSS what we like.

    • 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.
