Apparently couldn't make the first training session due to the Qantas issues. He wasn't at training on Wednesday and as far as I no he wasn't part of the 3km time trial.

What's going on?

    He was stuck in Alice. Virgin and Jetstar don't fly to Alice so there was no way he could get out - Tiger was probably already booked out. Probably still stuck due to the backlog.

    5 days? Seems strange.

    Flights were restarted on Monday, yeah? They've got a lot of people around the country to ferry. I'd suggest, firstly, that Alice wasn't a major priority, and secondly that Liam sounds like (from everything I've heard about his character and from Rudeboy) the type that wouldn't necessarily be hassled about a return immediately - although the club may want him back, he'd be more forgiving of others that required priority on flights to get home urgently etc. ahead of himself.

    Forgiving of others that required priority! You telling me he can't get one seat on a plane in 5 days? What a load of crap!

    Before panic sets in, I seriously doubt the rehab group would have been made to complete the 3.2km time trial.

    I'd be surprised if Jurrah wasn't included in that group.

    What is he 'rehabbing' from?

    What is Colin Sylvia rehabbing from, or any number of other players that find themselves in that group?

    I thought most people understood that the "rehab group" includes anyone whose fitness base requires easing into that sort of running.

    Jurrah's fitness in this respect is poor. He can't handle huge loads from the get go.

    A 3km run is a 'huge load'? Hmm.

    Don't be disingenuous.

    It's a 3km time trial, where the sole aim is to lush yourself as hard as possible over that distance.

    Would you really expect anyone within the "rehab group" to participate?

    And would you really expect Jurrah to not be in that group?

    Relax guys.

    He was at training yesterday, after being stuck in Alice Springs for 4 days due to the lunatic leprechaun who grounded Qantas. Neither Virgin or Tiger fly to Alice Springs so he had to wait to get a flight to Adelaide and then from there to Melbourne.

    He's in good shape and raring to go.

    Thanks Rudeboy. Hopefully that satisfies some of the Alarmists.

    rhaz you do not understand. Unless we exercise CONSTANT VIGILANCE over all aspects of the everything that is the MFC it will surely fail.

    I'm afraid you don't understand - our constant vigilance isn't stopping failure, it is allowing insight into when we inevitably fail.

    Exactly. You can't stop the rain. All you can do is prepare for it by bringing a raincoat. If you're especially vigilant, you will know when it's going to rain, but that is all.

    Argh! I was joking. I'm not sure if you are. Damn you, stupid internets!

    Does it involve stopping to scull a pot every 200m or so? We could end up with quite a large rehab group at this rate.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
