Can't wait to him to get back out on the park.ย 

Do you think we'll see him before the bye?

Hmmm...

With all this talk of players and illegal substances, you may want to consider your wording in future postings. ??

They say itโ€™s a 12 month recovery period from ACL surgery. Collingwoodโ€™s Tyson Goldsack came back in half that time and played in last yearโ€™s finals in what was close toย a โ€œnow or neverโ€ scenario for him in light of the stage ofย his career.ย 

Even playing it conservatively, Iโ€™m hoping to see Leverย back playing at VFL levelย a few weeks before the break.

  • Demonland changed the title to Lever on the Ice

They said the other day that Lever is back in main training in about a month which is when the season starts, so don't be surprised if we end up seeing Lever in round 5-6 instead of rounds 8-10

It was a play on words with the Disney 80s fad of doing things "Onย Ice". I've slightly changed the thread title. ?

"Frozen Water"ย  Demonland?

Thanks. Makes sense.ย 

Like to understand the logic of how running through snow helps with an ACL recovery. Some fitness genius probably getting paid big bucks for this training โ€˜innovationโ€™. No concern with anyย risk fromย slipping over from a knee under recovery?

Yeah the guys is getting paid big bucks because he has a reputation and I assume a track record of getting results and obviously there is a concern with things like slipping over but that's probably the whole point. It's a controlled exercises it's not just go out there and have a run.

Ankle deep snow is probably still a safer surface than the Etihad turf where Lever did his knee.

I believe he is under the same program of recovery as Trac, so ...whatever it takes

Seems strange to me Dee. If you have ever run through snow its a difficult exercise because of uneven ground and uncertainty about footfall. Does not seem like a controlled exercise at all. I would prefer him at home under the supervision of local medicos/rehab people. Being o/s and earning big bucks does not mean anything. ย

I think you'll find that's the point if you go back and have a look at Trac's diary and videos from when he was there. Build the psychological confidence and also fast twitch muscle reactions. Have a look at the videos of what he had Trac doing. I wouldn't do that on 2 good knees little own a reconstructed one. But that's the idea apparently.

Nah, not me, I just thought if Lever wanted a run outside in Philly in February, early March, then snow it is, about as slippy as the grass at Goschs a couple of eeeks ago when it hailed, Lever was pounding around the boundary then


I reckon theyโ€™re simulating the temperature at the MCG when heโ€™ll make his return

Jakey will be the best thing to dash through the snow if he makes a successful comeback and we go on to great deeds!

Bwtter than Father Chris!

Huge kudos to the Club who again and again are leaving no stone unturned in trying to improve our players and provide a base forย success.

Just a thought how would Rance and Astbury ย react if Pruess (or Gawn) were added to the forward marking group after seeing our efforts (Tommy not atย ย best) on ย  Sunday.

Reckon that might alter the weight and height scale.

JLT matches are like horse trials don't trust them generally as each Club has there own agenda!

Lets see how that pans out on the early rounds as fitness and firm kick in.

ย 

Not sure I am comfortable with him running in snow. If ever there was an opportunity for your feet to slip and jar/damage your kneeย that would be it...

Hi It's Time... Is "little own" similar to "let alone"

Good question. If I knew the answer I'd probably have been saying let alone for the past five decades. Never too old. But as you've only posed a question not provided the answer,ย ย I'll now have to use both.ย 

Good one, It's Time. No offence meant. "Let alone"ย is the correct one. At first I thought you mightย be from NZ... a Kiwi mightย pronounce let alone asย little own.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
