really disturbing. Is there ANY other club having the same type of foot issues? It does seems like its particular to us and, if so, must  in some way to the way we prepare/ train...or the surface itself. Unless its just horrible luck. I hope they're investigating, because if Oliver, Gawn, or Brayshaw go down with something similar there could be riot ...and I'll be at the front of it. 

 

Don't forget the surface of Gosch's Paddock. There has to be a correlation to the surface and the spate of foot injuries over the past few years. 


Does vanders qualify to be part of this elite list?

Absent extreme coincidence or bad luck (both unlikely), one must assume there is something that we are doing at training or the site of our training.

Surely some sort of enquiry will be made by the footy dept to get to the bottom of this most troubling foot injury syndrome.

 

Too much repeat exercise on hard surfaces is the prime suspect according to the missus (GP).

Don't forget Tim Smith last year as well.

 

It is definitely associated with overuse, they definitely need to look at training loads.  Have had a lot of experience with these injuries in association with basketball.

Stretch and before that Clark and Trengove. All under Missons watch?

Yep I've been banging on about it for the last 18 months, time to ditch this fool.

The guy is a jinx.


Its hard to judge compared to other clubs, but at a glance it seems we have far more than we should.

Did the pies have problems before us at our training venue?  I don't remember any reports.

So it must be another cause, or simply poor physical mechanics in our players that we need a biomechanical to fix ASAP.

  • 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.
