The first post on BigFooty is mine. Would there even be journos there to write an article about it?

I wondered if that was you clint (same photo). Agree on journo even being there but even more unlikely is a news.com.au journo getting the story correct. Seriously the worst news site on god good earth (or at least Australia's good earth)

Anyone know how Dom Tyson ran today? Any other training related into on the fella... watching his highlights on afl.com.au really got me excited to see him in 2014.

That means 12 weeks if the past is anything to go bye.

You're a glass half empty kind of person aren't you ?

Although I did have similar thoughts, I thought it could turn into 3-5 weeks

Agree....I'm so excited to see Hogan play...I mean with Mitch Superman Clark and Dawesy and all the guys fit.... we have things to look forward too for once!

To have a major injury now would just be terrible...but then again....186 was terrible and we got past that too didnt we!!

Your fiance must not be A Demon then...or she too would be a painful wreck at that point lol

cant be bothered backtracking through the 3 pages

did jamar train?

does JW look like hes gonna have a breakout preseason?

how did hoges look in the training session after time trial?

Posted

That is the point I am trying to make, do we want 2 or 3 pages of hand wringing over what might or might not be, if it said he was carried away in an ambulance...then I would panic......he walked away, so probably jarred it....as I said watching training so often...slight problem and you are off.....he'd be [censored] off because he wants to do the full preseason....doesn't want Roos having any excuse not to play him

thank you

Sure am mate, big Mitch was ready to go last season and played 4 games, I don't believe a word this club says when it comes to injury updates.

Yeah.....I'm with you on that MJT.

Most of us are suspicious of stated injury recover times. But sadly mjt you are a glass 3/4 empty on almost all issues. The mirror image of Saty.

I don't think Mitch was a good example to choose however. There were clearer cases where 3 weeks became 4,6,8.....

Maybe I've forgotten (note this before lambasting me if I am wrong) but I thought once he was out, it was pretty clear he'd be out a long time.

In any case it is hard to see why a club would lie to their supporters about this. But I can see they might not want other clubs to know too much and we are just collateral damage. Plus of course, sometimes injuries take more time to recover than originally expected.

From the AFL website: "The Dees believe Hogan will be sidelined for 1-2 weeks with the injury."

The Demonland optimists will assume that 1-2 weeks means nothing and that he'll come back stronger, fitter, cleverer and probably better looking.

The Demonland pessimists assume the hyphen is a typo which isn't meant to be there.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 12th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
