According to MFC website:Youngsters push round one claim

Mitch Clark (personal leave) TBC

Chris Dawes (calf) 2-3 weeks

Col Garland (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jesse Hogan (back) TBA

Mark Jamar (foot) 1-2 weeks

Aidan Riley (leg) 3-4 weeks

Jack Viney (concussion) test

TBC means placed on LTI = 8 weeks

TBA means we haven't got a clue, probably anywhere between 2-3 weeks and see you in July/August

    lets hope Jack Viney comes up for round 1

    With the added cautiousness around concussion nowadays I would not be holding my breath.

    Viney did very little at training today. A few laps and some run throughs with Hogan. Left early. He is a long shot and he hasn't got much practice game time under his belt.

    Anyone know what is wrong with Jamars foot? He has barely trained all pre season from what I have read so how would he have hurt it and been out for so long?

    He is the originator of MFC soft tissueitis Got it in 2012 and has so far infected Dawes and Clark.

    Seriously do we actually care with Jamar.

    He is gone as far as I can see, he has been injured for long periods every year since 2010.

    We have some reasonable ruckman in Spencer and Gawn no longer required is my view.

    Dawes is off to the AIS in Canberra to seek treatment on his calf injuries.

    2 to 3 likely to be the classic MFC 4 to 6!

    Yes.

    He's legs are as tough as a bag of marshmallows.

    2013 all over again.

    The amusing part if there is one is that people were saying we should trade Fitzy because we had too many big forwards.

    Ha Ha he is not the next Wayne Carey but he is way better than anyone currently fit enough to take the field in 2014.

    It's absolutely ridiculous the quality of forwards we have on the injury list.

    On a brighter note, how good is that our midfield group minus VIney have had an almost flawless preseason. Excellent news.

    Exactly OD! I really wanted to trade Jamar after 2011 & 2012

    Yes.

    Spot on again IMO. I love how Fitzy's really improved and, despite his diabetic past, keeps himself reliably ready to play!

    Col is one we will miss in that backline. Sorry but when did Jamar hurt his foot. He hasnt played for so long I just forget what made him miss a lot of last year.

    Has he found a cure for type one diabetes Rob Mac?

    Oh yes RTG, I should think so! :-) No I have no details, heard he was doing very well managing it and respect that he keeps himself on the park.

    We really wont know until about round 6 how the mid field is shaping up. Although i agree, on paper it does look like a significant improvement on last years offering. Even after 6 weeks i wont be judging them too harshly though. It takes a season or 2 at least for a substantially new group to really gell together.

    So what exactly is wrong with Viney?He was listed as concussed wasn't he?

    So when will he be right?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
