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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
