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.

Scully will be very lucky to get on the park in 2019

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....

Lucky for them they’ve got $cully - on a Zimmer frame.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
