Did I mishear or did he say his back was a bit tight / sore before the Geelong game?

Yep. I'm not going to crucify our fitness staff over it. They are highly trained doctors and physios, that can't stop guys playing every time one has a stiff back.

Salem looked surprisingly solid. Hogan said he is hoping to be back round 2 or 3 but can't lock anything in because they don't know

How can Hogan be 'back' when he is yet to play a game?

I am concerned re the being mentored by Byrnes comment...

I'm not. Byrnes is a good guy. Came from a successful team. Still knows how to get to the right spots. Is still capable of tackling and some of the other hard stuff. If Byrnes is giving him lessons on kicking I'd be down right angry but I doubt he would be.

I heard talk Cripps was about 191cm pre draft but now has shot up even more to about 194cm.

Probably now a question whether he's too tall to be a midfielder. At the minimum I'd advise Carlton to take a long time with him. Midfield minutes in that big a frame could result in injury

It amazes me, because when I saw Cripps play for WA v Vic Metro on a HBF I'd have guessed he was no more than 188cm.

The kid has grown a lot in a short time.

Yes very very disappointing to hear. Why the club would fly him up to Alice and play with a tight back is a utter joke. Should have just rested him plain and simple.

This is starting to mount on top of the lack of information on our injured players. Maybe our medical team needs to seriously pull their fingers out of their ass and start looking after our blokes properly

Or maybe he didn't tell anyone.

Footballers do that.

No he didn't.

A poster on here - TGR - noted he was having his lower back rubbed prior to the Geelong game at a training session.

The club played him and it was evidently the wrong call.

It happens.

We don't know when the tightness showed up.

It could have been as he ran onto the ground for the warm-up, but at that stage it was just a bit of discomfort out of the blue.

Hence telling a trainer and getting a rub before the match began, maybe it went away and they assumed it was fine?

Jumping to conclusions with not much evidence is not a wise move.

Criticise when it is deserved.

i missed the footy show tonight. Is it true they didnt mention the passing of Dean?

NOT TRUE. They did have a tribute to him leading into an add break. Was only short but a tribute all the same

    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
