If true that might give us a good start for round 1

 

Who cares?? we got Jimmy Toumpas !!! Oh Hang on!!

  • Author

I still remember how much praise Garry Lyon used to give Toumpas.. it was getting to the point of embarrassing 

 

In round 1 2014, St Kilda had 6 of their best 22 out and we still stunk up the joint against them.

I hope we don’t fall into the complacency trap as Port at their best will be a tricky assignment.

Port have good players _ Westhoff cuts us up regularly, for example.

Yes, no  room for complacency. I think we have the wood on the Power though.


Is it true Wines missed a Port training session or some kind of club function to attend Viney’s wedding?

Someone can correct me on this but wasn't it after a round one slaughter by Port in a game we were expected to win, Neely said at the presser " We didn't see that  coming"

Both teams are a total opposite to back then, we were a bad team getting worse, they were on the rise, now we are on a rise and their team was already weaker before wines injury.

He appeared to be one of the groomsmen at the wedding so perhaps he had permission. I doubt be just didn't turn up. 

I’d say he was given permission. Just found it a tad comical that some Port fans are claiming Wines isn’t committed to the club because he attended a close friend’s wedding.

I don't think we were complacent in 2014...just not very good.

Neither were the Saints but they did have Nick Reiwoldt.

He & Etihad were the difference.

If we lose to Port complacency will have nothing to do with it....

Wedding was Jan 5. Port were still on their mandatory 3 week break at that time.

May b, that's where he hurt his shoulder,  putting it to the Vandenberg school of... 'harme's wrestling'.   ?  ?

.

He shouldn't have signed that contract.

Who cares.......

Enough of the rumours and innuendo Ethan. This kind of gossip posting is against Demonland rules 

? ?

If he has popped the shoulder, some sort of damage has been done.  Scans today should determine exactly what. 

News report last night showed him running around without any strapping.  But then G.Ablett was shown doing exactly the same 2 years ago when at the Suns.  Trouble was he couldn't lift his arm above shoulder height for another 6 months. 

Clubs don't want the fans to lose hope before the season even starts.  He would be a huge loss to them if the prognosis isn't good.

It is better to break your shoulder then dislocate it, break it and they put in a rod and your back in 2 weeks

9 reporting he’s had minor surgery. They are saying a 6-8 week return.

Should Wines have been waterskiing ?

Footballers are full-time professionals and top players like Wines are contracted to play on big money. 

What are the limits on what a player can and can't do?

If you incur an injury in training or a match fair enough.

But a high risk recreational activity like water skiing seems well....risky.

At the same time, the player should use some discretion. I seem to remember Jones stopped surfing during last season. That seems sensible.

sounds similar to a chaplin of ours in 2017...

Why would you break your shoulder, then dislocate it?

I got it - better to break than dislocate

This poster has been making the same mistake for as long as he has been posting. ALWAYS uses "then" in place of "than". He also gets very offended when you correct him. 

:P

hasn't had surgery yet.

"It's believed he won't need a full shoulder reconstruction, but will have surgery to tighten the ligaments."

My mistake dc. Went back and had a look at the tweet i read at midday. Was getting ready for it.

@VSchwarz9

 

Ollie Wines has entered Sportsmed for minor surgery, his shoulder injury not as bad as feared. It’s believed he will be back in 6-8 weeks.

  • 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.
