    Pre-season starts now!

    Okay, jumping the gun a little, but if he's starting running now, that bodes well for being in full running form by the beginning of actual pre-season. Exciting stuff.

    And it means that 4 months away from pre season he can really gradually build his running up til Xmas.

    I'm sure they will be reigning him back, I bet he will be trying to get out there asap.

    If hes running now they should have him ready for a few Casey games and maybe an MFC debut at the tail end of the season. :):)

    For a first year player, that's not a great idea and I'd be astonished if he were to play any sort of competitive footy this year.

    The fact that he's running now is great but he's still miles off being able to perform any high intensity high impact sport..

    His muscles surrounding the knee including the calf, hamstring, quad and glute need a huge amount of conditioning before he plays a match.

    As stated by previous posters, it's great that he's running but he's still got a mountain to climb and we won't be seeing him this year. He's a first year player/kid.

    I should have said I was kidding. Editing it with a smiley now

    No. No. No.

    Stupid idea, gradually build him so he does no hamstrings and builds his strength in his graft.

    I actually hope he plays 1/2 game at casey development in their first practice match, builds to a few casey games early in their season and looks at a MFC debut 1/4 - 1/2 way though the AFL season.

    Couldnt think of a worst possible thing they could do.

    What benefit is it for him to rush into the end of the year to play a few meaningless games? Are people not realizing he is coming back from a serious knee injury and their is far great risk he could potentially re do his ACL again. You have to give these kind of injuries lots of time to recover and plus the strengthening that goes into it.

    Plus Paul Roos will NOT allow this to happen

    He did his ACL on the 16th of Feb.

    So he's back to running in 4 months but to play in a game he'd have to be back within 6.5 months. That's completely out of line with any other recovery from an ACL in AFL.

    The good news should be in his mental recovery as much as physical. If he gets through the rest of the season training he can probably take an end of season break with the rest of the players and whilst he'll be on a modified program he can start preseason with a focus to playing just like the rest of the group.

    Man did you just get roasted for a joke. Cost of not ending it with obvious emoticons.

    After his reco he said the surgeon had said he could play by the end of the season and then there was coverage of Roosy saying no way that was happening.

    A very confident and rounded young man - oozes leadership. IF we can get him, AB, JH (and the other best 22s currently on the injury list) all up and running together we will look a whole lot better.

    Something real to look forward to after all these decades of disappointment.

    I know a quite a few people here have doubts on Missen, but I suspect that they will spend a lot of time on working on his quadriceps, his hamstrings, and doing a lot of straight line running, and not have him doing any twisting or impact work at all at least until the preseason.

    It would be absolutely pointless risking him in lower level games for zero gain this year. Unlike many of his predecessors, he has a very well developed body and as soon as his knee has fully recovered he should be ready to make an impact at AFL level.

    Going to have a few 'new' guys playing round 1, 2016. Trengove, Petracca and a couple of high draft picks. Oh, and of course Dangermouse.......

    I'll pretend to be 'old dee' and say: "maybe, if we don't lose them to other clubs after a few more years being a cellar team". :o

    • 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.
