Heard that Jake Lever has a sore foot and will miss this week.

Steven May said on Fox Footy that Lever has a foot issue and could miss this week apparently.

    I read this on the changes thread a half hour ago just after I posted how strong the Casey team should be due to the reduction in the injury list.

    Words fail me.. except to say it must be a very sore foot if it's still there after a week off.:(

    It will take more than a sore foot for Rick Lever to miss. Pump it full of the good stuff and put him out there.

    Let me guess we rushed Lever back for QB when he should've come back after the bye...

    Apparently he was already sore before the Collingwood game.

    Who would have thought 3 quarters of a VFL game over the course of 3 weeks wasn't enough preparation after a year out of the game....?

    Injury prone player who now has an injured foot. 

    Talk about déjà Vu

    Sam Edmund reporting on SEN that it is actually knee soreness not foot soreness.

     

    Did he mention which knee Lord? Need to know where to set the anger metre.

    I’d recruit Nakia Cockatoo.  Injury prone Cat who can’t string 3 games together without an injury and then misses 6/8 weeks. Perfect alignment to our list.

    Did May tell a little porkie (on Fox) that Lever had foot soreness to deflect attention from an on-going knee problem? The Fox show was 10 days after the QB game, one would expect May to know which it was.

    If Lever was sore (knee or foot) before QB, as May said, and we played him it is up there on the stupidity stakes.  QB was a big game but not significant from a season view so with his injury history, and just 3 qtrs of football in a year, why take the risk.  Just stupid.

    At the QBD game Lever did do some awkward moves and grab at the knee a few times. I have even heard someone say they “though he had re done his knee a few times throughout the match but it obviously wasn’t the case”

    Didn't hear the segment myself, was just told what was said. Don't know which knee, but you'd assume hey?

    To clarify, it sounds like he does have some foot soreness, but it's the knee soreness that is the problem and the thing that could see him miss this week.

    Guessing here, but it could be that he had foot soreness before the QB game, but now he has knee soreness that's bad enough to keep him from playing. Absolute guess though.

    I've not been one of the 'Misson bashers', but given what seems to have been a growing problem the last few years in injury mismanagement, particularly returns from injury, it certainly puts more context around his seeming demotion this week.

    This is good news considering our 'elite' performance managers history with feet.

    So we played a player on QB who was already significantly underdone in his comeback from a serious knee injury, but who was also carrying a foot problem that may have caused him to change his running style, hence leading to this current knee soreness? Congratulations to the club on its never ending quest to achieve new levels of incompetence.

    I'm guessing Lever was rushed back for the QB game because our deluded coach genuinely thought we were a chance for finals.

    Evidence that Lever was “rushed back”, please? I thought he had been in full training for months before he returned.

    not allowed to have "flare ups" in this industry...

    Well i was going off what May said on Fox Sports that he had hurt his foot before the QB clash.. 

    Whatever the situation, i though 6 qtrs in the VFL wasn't enough.. you can train all you like but you need to get match fit and hardened and confident.

    Isn’t the only way to get match fit to play footy games? 

    I was concerned he might be underdone too but only from a touch/form/confidence perspective. As far as I can see there’s no evidence whatsoever that he wasn’t ready from an injury recovery point of view. People are flying off the handle without having the facts at hand, as usual.

    Probably ACL again.

    If he misses this week with soreness in the same knee that was rehabilitated after playing only 3/4s of a VFL game over 3 weeks that would be evidence in my opinion. Obviously the year out and the training period seemed patient enough, but then to be recalled to the much greater speed and impact of AFL level footy on such limited match play makes it seem like they rushed the final stage.

     Playing 90% game time would have had an impact also. Played less than that in total for the previous 3 weeks. The Frost concussion would have been part of that equation of course, but that seems a pretty clear picture to me.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
