That's a bit exciting about Jackson!

Edited by layzie

 

Never thought I'd be saying this after the first few rounds of the season, but we will really miss having Hibberd in the side if he does miss this week.  I think it would be sensible to give him this game off so he can be cherry ripe for the Freo match, but he has been terrific since making his way back into the side.

 

Makes his effort in coming back on and laying a crucial tackle even more valiant.

I must have missed something - what is the nature of Angus' foot tendon injury?  

Was it an in game impact or some chronic strain?

 

Also any inside info on how Jackson has been training and / or scratch matches?

Burgo's replacement seems pretty bullish around us making finals with Jones' prognosis.

I'd have termed it Season rather than 1 week. Even if we do make the finals.

 

In the 'Captain's Run' Gus said his foot is a lisfranc injury.  Says he heard it pop in the Sydney game and it would have been better to not have come back on.

Expects to be ready to run at the start of the preseason.

Much much  better than navicular.

This is a relief. I was worried that he'd miss a chunk of it given the duration.


We've had a really good run with injury this year compared to other sides as well as our previous seasons.

Really hope it continues next year as it should allow us to once again contend for the 8.

The lisfranc injury sounds familiar, I thought that was the one that Mitch Clark had with us (hopefully if ti is it's a significantly lower severity).

Dees

Brayshaw ? 

Jones ?

Bombers

Mcgrath ?

Fantasia ?

Heppell ?

 

Apart from these blokes, both teams have probably best part of best 22 available.  I think we left Sparrow Harmes Jackson out due to maintaining winning team  

 

We’ve had a fairly good run with injury this year. The best we’ve had I  a fair few years.

Im not sure if I should feel good about this, or very annoyed about sitting firmly in the middle of the road given the circumstances.

Just a shoulder clean out for Clarry. Shouldn't cause him too much grief over the pre season.

How many off-season surgeries do we have this year?

Apparently had a second shoulder reconstruction, first one didn't repair as they would have liked.

Played the majority of the year in pain with it.

So which one is it?

I really wish there was more transparency from the club in regards to injuries and in particular post season surgeries. Afterall post season surgeries were blamed for our poor 2019 season.

I'm not suggesting that detailed medical histories be released but it would be nice to be reassured that we are not going to go into the preseason as the walking wounded.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
