please advise me as to what matter is more important than this. There simply isn't one. The difference between a side that has a couple of blokes out and a side that has 11/12 out is about 8 spots on the ladder

Let it go pal

I think its a waste of time and resources given the limited degree of control you can exert over injuries given the high contact, high impact nature of the sport (i grant that preparation and recovery will have an impact on specific types of injury prevention)

You obviously dont and thats fine too, will our differing viewpoints change the outcome? highly unlikely i would have thought.

btw i am still waiting for someone to point out which of our current injuries do you believe could be attributed to poor sports science resources/personnel at the club???

    You actually have an inability to read, or listen, or both.

    WE ARE NOT SAYING WE KNOW. We are saying the opposite. We are saying we don't know, and that our disproportionate number of injuries in the past few years is worth exploring.

    By suggesting that our limited sports science/innovation budget is not a factor, you are invalidating clubs who spend a lot more on their sports science (read: the successful clubs). By doing that, you are invalidating sports science. Are you credentialed to do that?

    WTF, yeh, i have an inability to read crap. Do we have a disproportionate number of injuries compared with other clubs? Injury data for each club is available in the public domain, why dont you spend your time working out if a problem exists first before defending your stance to the hilt not to mention wasting valuable time and money in an attempt to provide answers to questions that dont even exist.

    PLEASE I REQUEST THAT YOU PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT OVER THE TENURE OF THE CURRENT FOOTBALL ADMIN WE HAVE SUFFERED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF INJURIES COMPARED WITH OTHER CLUBS.

    FFS DID YOU GO TO THE TONY ABBOTT SCHOOL OF DEBATING???

    It seems however that you graduated cum laude from the Mark Latham School of shouting

    Caps, bolding and underling all at once - Puh-leeeze!

    A modicum of restraint if you please 36DD

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
