OMG then he will miss out on the joys of AFLXCREMENT!

(Tommy's toe is also probably a bit sore)

    He's still getting over Jack Riewoldt's sick burn, so I doubt he would want to show his face anyway.

    Is this a new fresh hamstring injury or the tweak that was reported on Demonland through the training reports prior to Maroochydore?

    Apparently hamstring injuries are now minor ... gotta love the spin the comms team put on our injuries ... "Minor hamstring injury for May"

    I’d rather he be fit to play AFLX and not have gotten injured at training, personally.

    Thank God! May has an injury, so we don't have to worry about him playing AFLX and getting injured!

    Both GC recruits getting soft tissues at around the same time. Just hope he comes good quickly and plays JLT2.

    the Indigenous team is the one AFLX team with some form of purpose so it’s disappointing he didn’t get to play. He’s more of a match fitness guy than a training guy so I didn’t mind him playing in that, less risk than the Pies scratch match anyway

    WE  think the quote should read " Minor hamstring injury, back in May"

    That would then be a back related hamstring

    He probably is, just too smart to be involved in that garbage.  T Mac should follow suit.

    Smokescreen to avoid the dribble that is AFL X, we are smart.

    I don’t think this is the case but I hope you’re right.

     Agree DS

    Despite the seeming joy on this thread it's not the best news.

    It's early but it would be nice to see that injury list dwindle to almost nothing a la the Tigers in 2017.

    Didn’t we suffer injuries attributed to AFLX last year? How did we go with scratch matches? Not sure the verdict is out on which one is riskier yet..

    The only thing to come out of last years game was many fans (myself included) staggered that Tom McDonald played when he was managing a toe injury. Everyone else got through fine. The small field, minimal contact and quick game time is pretty safe. If fully healthy then May could play that instead of a heavy contact practice game.

    My view on Tommy Mc depends on how his toe is. If there's any underlying concern that a firm Marvel stadium wouldn't be good for it then he should pull out.

    • 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.
