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....?

    Wow can we get anymore Melbourne. 

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
