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

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 it’s a 12 month recovery period from ACL surgery. Collingwood’s Tyson Goldsack came back in half that time and played in last year’s finals in what was close to a “now or never” scenario for him in light of the stage of his career. 

    Even playing it conservatively, I’m hoping to see Lever back playing at VFL level 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 "On Ice". I've slightly changed the thread title. ?

    "Frozen Water"  Demonland?

    Thanks. Makes sense.

    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 ‘innovation’. No concern with any risk from 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.

    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 they’re simulating the temperature at the MCG when he’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 for success.

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

    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 knee 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,  I'll now have to use both.

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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
