    Viney in full training. Looked a million bucks! Barely a rehab group - Jones, Jetta, Tyson and Balic on light duties. All moved well. VDB only notable absentee.

    Great, but I really feel for Vanders. He can be a great player with plenty of 'drive' for the footy.

    A no show

    37 training full session, 4 on light duties and 3 missing, depth in abundance

    Although Nibbler may have tweaked something

    Sigh. A week of talking him up and now he is broken. Us MFC supporters have a preternatural ability like that.

    (JACK WATTS!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! WE MISS YOU!!!)

    Am I doing it right?

    7 news talking injuries to Lewis and Jones...Jones with sore back. Any update on Nibbles 'tweak'

    Jonesy was running and kicking in rehab, so can't be that bad, Nibbler pulled out of main session and did some rehab

    As explained before, slightest niggle they have to report

    And as somebody elses stated Viney looks cherry ripe to go

    And presumably throw them into rehab - whilst i understand that when 4 points are on the line you send a player into a game with a niggle or underdone but no club would be risking players on the training track or a practice game if they had the slightest niggle. Makes no sense to do so.

    I think the point that Saty has been making is that under previous coaches (meaning pre-Roos), players did not disclose when they had any niggles so kept training to their own, and the team's, potential longer-term detriment.

    sometimes the players aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but i guess they do get nervous with competition for spots.

    The sports scientists and fitness guys are very good at the Club, they continually watch the players, especially those returning from injury

    I"ve also asked, if you 'hide' something and you are subsequently found out, it's botty smacking from a great height

    Out of interest how do you smack a botty from a great height (there's a phrase i would never thought i'd ever be writing - probably best not to google it, at least at work)? With long arms?

    Anyone know if Bullen was in full training or in rehab?

    Saty said he may have tweaked something on Wednesday.

    Mr Double Hyphen, if anyone should know about hyphenated names I would think it would be you. It is Neal-Bullen

    • 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.
