Would be amazed if this adversely influenced his season start. Looks in great nick otherwise. 

Really? You are an avid follower of this club Webber and you can’t see how this could possibly go pear shaped for Gus? Given our injury history I’d be amazed if he still has two arms by Rnd 1.

    Same here. 3mnths for me and still have little strength in arm...I'm maybe 2.5x Brayshaws age....

    Also around the 3 month mark. 
     

    It sucks because I haven’t been able to bench the usual 140kg limit for a while now. ?

    Not sure if it’s been said anywhere but lockhart left early after talking with staff about his hamstring.

    Gus injury..

    They say that as long as the player has done the full pre Xmas training, they’re mostly set up for the season. So hopefully this won’t particularly affect his season if it’s the 4 weeks they’re quoting.

    The arm is a trial. Pretty soon all limbs will be similarly fitted so that Goody can remotely control from the coaches box (or the bunker)! Look forward to all players running out for Round 1 if it proves a success.

    An arm brace on Clarry to control whether he handballs or drops it onto the boot and a remote controlled leg braces for Gus to make him run the other way. Genius!

    I’ve said that in another thread. 
    Completely agree.

    I'd be happy to hit a golf ball...

    @McQueen and @jnrmac - interested to know how each of you got this injury?

    Started with tennis and worsened by hitting too many golf balls...

    Lady at the scarf collection said the boys at Melksham’s wedding will have a mini training session up in Byron then fly straight to Maroochydore. 

    Also,  membership as of this morning is at 30,278. A bit less than this time last year but on par with 2018. Overall, club is happy with the renewals so far.

    I’ve already renewed everyone in my family, irrespective of whether they actually support (or have heard of) the club.

    A good mate of mine just had a son two days ago. My mate’s a passionate Blues supporter. There’ll be an MFC Baby Dee membership on its way to his house for little Leo within the week.

    Got to get em early.

    • 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.
