Has Jack Viney done much with the main group? Hopefully he can play a JLT. 

I think I heard Melksham joined the main group which is positive. 

23 days to go!

    26 Days until the Demons take the field for Round 1. 23 days until the Extended Bench team is picked for Round 1.

    I don't believe that he has trained with the main group this preseason.

    So i guess he has had no interruptions to his interrupted preseason.

    Looks like all of Jones, Viney, May and Melk are good

    Kolo Good for round 1 (probably VFL)

    Lever Going great guns

    Hannan seems terrible "Hopefully see him before the bye" ?

    Nietschke done for the year obviously

    Great result to have those guys back in full training with still 3 and half weeks until round 1!

    Get KK right for the season.

    Shame about Hannan but if he can get his knee 100% for the back end of the season he'll be cherry ripe come finals. He was playing through the injury in the finals last year so I reckon he can get to another level when fit.

    That Kolo injury sounds nasty. Playing in round 1 at any level seems ambitious.

    Hannan - not good, but I’m of the belief he’s been inconsistent since he’s joined up and played a lot of games bandaged up. It’s preseason so I’ll take the optimistic view that getting him fully healthy will be good for him.

    Hannan could be a handy addition, much like AVB, in the second half of the season.  If you watch the highlights of the last 4-5 games of the season, which includes the finals, he was a key contributor in either scoring goals or being in a position to assist them.  With our depth I'd say he gets plenty of time to get himself right and put himself in the frame to make an impact come July or August.

    Is it just me or has Hannan being out for half a season just come out of nowhere?

    Fingers crossed they get this round of rehab right and he comes back fit. As with others above, I feel he has been consistently hampered with knee problems.

    Just wondering what is the official latest on Lever? At the beginning of the thread mentions mid season, after surgical setback. I realize he is currently in the USA doing that rehab course, which has been very successful with others i believe...

    Saw  post today that Jake comes home Sunday.

    all went very well inUSA with Bill Knowles.

    Aiming to be back in full training group in a month.

    Round 8 is looking like return to Competitive play most likely VFL then AFL.

    Good Luck Jake can't wait till you return.

    I hope they don't do any rushin with Kade, after his osteitus tendon injury.   Let him ease the way back. 

    I don't mind if he misses the Rnd1 and Rnd2.   Just get him 100% first...  at his new club.  

    He is coming off injury issues and broken chains of games.   Lets not risk his long-term well being with us,  just for an early start in 2019.  It's not worth it.

     

    Get him absolutely 100% right,  before he plays any senior games.

    It feels like this preseason we've had way more guys starting slow and recovering from surgery, not to mention a few injuries thrown in. Anyone else concerned heading into the season? I've got a slightly uneasy feeling about it all. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid!

    Addressing these issues (with surgery at various levels of depth) and more gentle and time-consuming training/readiness agendas in place, it is better for the whole team to have dealt with these requirements prior to the start of the season or, for example, midway through the season, or by largely overlooking or even ignoring latent problems in/with players where these could well fester, leaving a severely handicapped depth listing nearing the end of season - when we should be knocking off other finals aspirants without mercy or concern. Notice - ameliorate - fix - prepare - test - win responsibly.  A good footy mantra.

    With all of the justified concern over player fitness and team depth this coming season, ain't it just going to be amazing and inspiring when they all hit the ground together for the first time, and line up on match day as a totally unbeatable team of great footballers with immense team pride and interactivity.

    Why do you want him to play in the JLT? To get injured again?

    The bad news:

    • Lever - another 3 to 4 months.  That suggests a return to the field just before or after the bye ie round 12, 14.  Hannah another 2 to 3 months.

    Not so bad news: 

    • KK - 3 to 4 weeks away.  Garlett avoids surgery but is 4 to 6 weeks.

    Good news:

    • Jones, May, Melksham and Viney are cleared of previous injuries and all expected to play some form of football this week.

    What they decided was as he was going to get one knee done, they may as well fix both up, hopefully to end his knee issues

    Unfortunately the 'worse' knee had a bit of a hiccup and he had to have a small procedure post Xmas

    Club believes in fixing the issues completely or hope to, no matter how long that takes

    He has, like Vanders, been working his butt off in the gym, so core strength will be even better than ever 

    He starts his preseason on legs next week, hence the timeframe

    Most of the others rehabbing were either small procedures or not leg related and were able to get the k's in

    Hence Oliver's performance post an 'interrupted' pre season

    Viney has had a few drills with the main group over the last couple of weeks

    so with Hannan being out for a while, and now Garletts injury, who would be next in line as a goal sneak/small fwd option for us? Bedford, Chandler, or heaven help us, C.Wagner or JKH?

    also can we still use our last draft pick* to get a player like that, or has the window shut on that option?

    edit- *spot on our list may have been a better term.

    Spargo, ANB and Melk can all play the small forward roll

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
