Difficult to see how he'd run laps withOUT a hamstring, Brendan!  (Preferably one in each leg...!)  Boom Boom!

    Jeff's scan came back completely clear as reported in the club's injury update.  If he had a hamstring tear, he would not be running laps.   But he had / has hamstring tightness.  So it becomes a risk assessment as to whether the tightness dissipates sufficiently to be able to play, including running at full speed which is vital to Jeff's game.  I don't think he'll get up....

    So, what exactly, is 'hamstring tightness'? Does this mean the muscle fibres have over-contracted but without causing damage? And how does the tightness dissipate? Just with time and perhaps massage, ice (or heat) and ultrasound?

    Pedo is fine

    Hannan is fine

    No Watts, got nothing when I asked

    Garlett 50/50

    Hoges said next week to everybody who asked including me

    Viney is more than fine

    White and Wagner trained with AFL side when they split at end of session

    Did the Weed train with the main group? I think maybe he will play and TMac will go to Buddy

    Did Dion Johnstone train with the AFL contingent?

    No, but means nothing, Hogan could be lying, he looks super fit, only additions to last weeks team seemed to be Wagner and White

    At end of session 'Casey' team break away to have 10 min run together

  • Quote

    Reporting just now on AFL website, that we have ruled out Hogan, Watts and Garlett. Concerning.

    Just back from training.  Salient points:

    - no Watts for the entire session

    - Garlett joined Jones for run throughs on the boundary for the whole session.  Practiced a few snaps at goal but you'd think unlikely to come up

    - Jones quipped that his quad was feeling significantly better than the previous session

    - Hogan participated fully in the whole group session

    - Kent looked sharp and up and about

    - TMac doing lots of goal kicking practice

    - Joel Smith training fully with the main group

    - Hunt looked a bit flat, Pedersen looked a bit sore

    Huge news. The forgotten man. Love to have him in form and banging down the door at the end of the season.

    The mind games have just begun, been along time since we have been playing with the opposition and public's minds love it.

    No he looked very tender. Not at all fit IMHO

    When you think about it though, we won without all 3 last week. Watts and Hogan didn't play and Garlett did nothing all game due to injury. So an upgrade in Kent or similar might be better. Think positive man! hehe

    Hopefully the Swans even the ledger and rule Tippett in.

    The only problem being that we play the strongest Swans side of the season so far and basically at full strength and in form, with 6 wins in their last seven games, with us on a third six day break and having played in Perth last Saturday.

    Then again we are having a red hot go, no matter who is in the side.

    Ouch on all those outs. I was desperately hoping Watts would play this week, and Garlett is a massive loss in his current form.

    • 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.
