That’s great news. Even fit for round 2 I would have been happy.

No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think May's injury history was relatively sound prior to last year.

Looking at his stats, he consistently played 17-19 games a season, so to me that supports his general robustness.  Also need to consider that a few of the missed games were probably through suspension.

Sounds like 2019 was a combination of poor preparation and not doing everything in high intensity at GC. He’s done the work this year and it sets him up for a big 2020.

Also shows how important a really good pre Xmas training block is. That base means a small, albeit frustrating interruption, doesn't become something bigger.

Which makes me begrudgingly admire teams like Richmond who win flags and front up the next year in really good knick for another shot.

Agree. I think the ability to do so is one reason experience (age and games played) is such an important factor.

  • 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.
