Misson said today that Michael Evans is out for up to a month with a similar injury to Viney.

Grimes is going 'really well', trained with the group for the first time yesterday, and should be ready to go at the end of his LTI-required 8 weeks (in 3 weeks).

Viney is also 3 weeks away but is going well too.

MacDonald will be tested tomorrow. McKenzie had a 'mild hyperextension' of his elbow but should be OK.

Dawes and Frawley are both to be tested. Frawley is surprising with his running, so he's a chance for this week, whilst Dawes had last week off his legs and so looks OK this week. Said we won't know until later in the week.

Misson report

Round 13 injury list

Mitch Clark (foot) indefinite

Chris Dawes (ankle) test

Michael Evans (foot) 4 weeks

Jack Grimes (shoulder) 3 weeks

Jack Viney (toe) 3 weeks

Put Mitch on the LTI and elevate Couch already FFS!

Tell Mitch his preseason break starts now, and he has until the start of September to go on holidays. After that, he has a month of "light duties" and will be ready to go day 1 of the new preseason training.

They can elevate a rookie after Rd 11 anyway.

Thats what they thought last year.

Shattered Pickles is out.

Glad he's out myself.

Firstly the break will do Michael no harm.

I believe he needs to tighten up defensively. He spreads well, especially offensively but several times isn't able to work back as hard as his opponent. Similar to Blease.

Hope Craig can work with him on this. Footage of what he does, footage of who does it well and direct training for it.

The Inveterate Prognosticators won't know what to do with themselves

They forgot to add;

Nick Smith 4-6. On the other hand it may have been 426 weeks all along, which is just over 8 seasons...expect a surprise inclusion very soon.

No, put Mitch in full time rehab. His injury requires careful attention. He can have a holiday at seasons end. This time s crucial to his long term future

Round 3 against West Coast was our last non-Sunday/Monday game.

However, we've only got two more Sunday games to go (Round 15 vs Sydney; Round 21 vs Fremantle; funnily enough, our last two home games at the G), though I suspect the final Round 23 game against the Dogs will be scheduled on a Sunday too (twilight, probably).

What's with all the foot injuries????

Clark - incredible rare unusual injury

Macdonald - gym injury, his fault

Viney and Evans - first year players, they'd probably be playing if we were competing for finals but they're doing the right thing as first year guys (Evans is a rookie in my eyes)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
