    Hope this is not true but a reminder that you never know whats around the corner.

    All the best laid plans of mice and men can come undone very quickly with injury and bad luck. 

    Even with strong depth you can never replace the genuine star, particularly a dynamo like Mitchell.

    Take care you Demons, may the football gods smile sweetly at you in 2019.

    A quick peruse of the Hawks bigfooty page tells you that they think they have no depth. 

    Their best player down and they’re calling it ‘season over’ already.

    Poor bloke has broken his leg. Report says he will miss the entire season.

    That hurts the Hawks a LOT.

    Hope he comes back well. Great player.

    No one wants to see this happen to any player. We had it with Lever. All of a sudden beating the Hawks has become just a bit easier.

    This brings O'Meara & $ullky to the fore in their 2019 season.

    We can NEVER underestimate the Hawks as a club.  They will fire up for us.

    This is what I'm hinting/alluding to.   Both those stars are hindered.   As are Burgoyne by age, and Roughy by age, as well.

    As much as I dislike Hawthorn, it's still horrible seeing this happen to a player. Hawks are going to struggle mightily without him.

    Seems like an innocuous training drill. 

    To pull or strain a muscle, even injure your knee can always happen, but breaking a leg is strange. Usually caused by a collision or forceful impact. Breaking a bone is not easy to do.

    Seems surprising given the circumstances.

    I wonder if it will affect his leg speed, not that he was tat fast to start with.  I remember Nathan Brown was never the same after his break.  Though I'm not sure how the two compare in severity?

    It will severely dent their chances this year as they transition from their older players to the next group.  Scully will be interesting as I think he was taken on as a longer project and not expected to play a lot this year.

    Does a year seem a long time for a broken leg? I thought they generally came on quicker than that.

    They will miss him. Really bad loss. Hope something like that doesn't happen to us.

    I wish Tom a full recovery, but i shall enjoy watching Whorethorn a man down all year. 

    That jumper has inflicted so much arrogant pain on me over many years....

    Leverage can be a powerful force. The wrong angle and even the slightest of acute pressure can end in many ways.

    • 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.
