I wonder if this was pre-incident? @kev martin @DeeSpencer

 

Yes, pre-incident. It happened about 15 to 20 minutes before the end of the full session. I think he will be ok as he wasn't making much of it. He also waited around for his mates to finish up.

PS. They all went off to eat lunch together at a buffet.

    Only on Demonland can you get such detailed reports.

    I beg to differ. If it was a detailed report we'd not only know where they went for lunch but what each person had. And who paid.

    I thought it was listed as groin.

    You could be  are right. From MFC Website Harry Petty (groin) pulled up sore from last week’s game

    I haven't noticed anything (injury wise) for this year but I thought he missed the last two games with a knee injury. Others may be able to clarify.

    Baker has a groin injury and hopes to resume straight after X-mas.

    Spargo injured his ankle ligament last Friday - unless he did them badly, should be back next week.

    I think Petty had a minor knee clean-up post-season.

    Not sure why Smith wasn't there, but he looked really strong last Friday. He has bulked up more and was working with backs - if fit will play on Jack Darling in Rd 1 IMO.

    Most impressive today was Ed Langdon - ran hard, kicked well and looked eager.

    That's the standard of service we Demonlanders expect. Thanks Saty.

    Today's technical whinge:

    Steve May skills more marks than he should because he doesn't get his hands close enough together and he also doesn't allow enough cushion by way of bending his elbows. Locking your elbows makes your arms stiff and heavy, keeping them bent allows for more movement and you can pluck the ball from the air.

    Weid's and Tommy Mc have far better technique.

    I'm not quibbling with your technical description (I wouldn't know), but are you confident from a still image that you can draw that particular conclusion?

    Moonlighting, working behind the counter, to get that inside info, huh, Saty?  Well done!

    • 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.
