    Shortest injury list in the history of the MFC. Pity 2 of our top 10 players are on it!

    did anyone here have any success sacking him, ever ?

    I'm certainly no expert, but assuming there's no further set-backs or especial caution I would expect players of Viney and Tmac's ilk to be available within the month.

    Another of Mission's mission failed on Mckenna

    Misson could work at the MFC for another decade and some supporters would still think his name was Mission.

    And he stuffed Trengrove’s career as well.

    I'm not quite sure who's punning, who's trolling and who doesn't quite get the joke.

    Expert or not, no-one can predict with 100% certainty how the human body will respond to any given treatment.

    Neville Jetta (ankle) – test
    Jordan Lewis (hand) – 1-2 weeks
    Tom McDonald (foot) – 2-3 weeks
    Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
    Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 8-10 weeks
    Jack Viney (foot) – 3-4 weeks

    Extracts: "Tom McDonald (foot) – 2-3 weeks  He’ll actually train with the group a little bit on Saturday morning. We actually expect Tom to potentially be available for the Essendon game.”

    And, "We think Aaron will probably get a couple of VFL games in before the bye and then we’ll see what happens after that bye week.”  

    The Ess game is less than 2 weeks away so it will be a huge effort if Tom gets up for it.  I'm torn between saying we need him to play and hoping we don't bring him back too early.

    Surely Tom will have a game or two at Casey - he played the first JLT, but match fitness?

    I would have thought so.

    But 'match fitness' no longer seems a major consideration for players who have been in the system for a few years.  eg J Kennedy Eagles, Tex Walker,  G Ablett.  Of course, the risk is they can't contribute enough at AFL level or overdo it and breakdown again.

    Hi

    On Saturday night there was a suggestion that Balic had pulled a hamstring.

    There was also suggestion it might have been cramp.

    I assume from his absence from the injured list  that he is fine.

    Wouldn't it be a great story if he comes good.

    Balic was training this morning and looked to be moving OK. Also Dom Tyson was running around and looked good. The Casey boys were training didn’t see any seniors training. TMac was kicking footballs and doing sprints, no Viney or AVB but I only rode past and watched for about 5 minutes.

    jesus wept...how DUMB ARE WE as a football club...

    t mac hurt his toe drilling drills inside in BARE FEET...

    McDonald said it was like a ‘turf-toe’ incident and he felt the problem occur during an inside drill.

    “We were doing some tackling and contact work inside, in bare feet, and as we do all of our stuff in boots, I reckon my feet weren’t as conditioned to doing stuff bare foot,” he said.

    Why don’t we just run over our players with steam rollers. Replacement training for that camp. See who survives!

    I'm assuming Frost was injured and that's why he didn't play at any level this week.  When I went to training he was in rehab.

    Joel Smith did most of training on Wednesday but pulled out of a few drills towards the end and he didn't play at any level.

    Fritsch, Tim Smith and Balic didn't play at any level this week but were not mentioned in the injury report.

    Does anyone have any information on these players?  I don't recall seeing Balic at training.  Is he injured?

    • 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.
