I agree. Misson and co. should have reinforced Hogan's collarbone with a steel plate before he took to the field. Poor planning. And I hear the anti-oxidants in rooibus tea are good at preventing cancer. I don't know why they persist with water on game day.

Better than drinking your own bath water l guess

They should wash the players' mouths out with soapy bathwater anytime anyone is caught dropping the F-word.

Add Joel Smith.  Our bad run continues 

Poor guy

And (didn't see or hear the game but ABC suggested Mumford took to  the biff) was Max concussed?

Melbourne Website has a story titled "SMITH SIDELINED - Joel Smith will miss the remainder of 2017 season with a knee injury"

Unfotunately the link doesn't open so I don't know if it is just this season or is a reco. Anyone know any more?

8-10 week injury, no damage to ACL, just a crack in the tibia.

Source - AFL site.

Thanks Demon77. As bad as that is so happy that he will hopefully get a good crack at it next year.

Pun not intended

If that's the official injury list then does it mean Oscar McDonald's ribs have come up OK?

......and Viney on crutches just 'precautionary'?

Bringing him back quickly must be taking a toll, I really hope it's not doing him further damage. Courageous as he is. 

Tom Bugg might be a chance vs the Lions if we want fresh legs. 

I think the plan was to bring in Watts and Salem and rest another couple of guys, but Salem screwed that up with his stupidity. 


Excellent news on Jesse Hogan. Greg Denham in The Australian today says Jesse has made a miraculous recovery and could play this week-end if he gets through training this week and gets the all clear from his surgeon. 

Doubt Hogan will play. Viney has been on crutches after every game since he came back and there's been a news report about him "being in doubt" each time bar last week vs GWS.


Surely the source is the Demonland podcast?

 

I'm pretty sure in Dave Missons report he said he was back training but a week or two away. 

 

It would be huge we're Jesse to be able to return so soon AND have a big physical influence.  Sounds too good to be true, so probably is.

Why is Kent's shoulder only now being operated on? 

There has been scant info re Ken'ts injury. The club went to ground. Now its revealed he will have surgery? Something fishy here...

We were hoping he could manage the shoulder so he could be back to play this season.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
