Early prognosis

Andrew Brayshaw had his foot stomped on during the win against West Coast and he underwent scans that cleared him of any break. The Dockers have not put a timeframe on Stephen Hill's return after he sustained another quad injury. Blake Acres' hamstring tendon injury is serious and he could miss up to eight weeks. Joel Hamling's ankle injury remains the long-term concern for the club, while David Mundy, Alex Pearce and Nathan Wilson lifted the intensity of their running and are pushing for early-season returns, potentially in the first month. Hayden Young is having his training loads managed and was left out of the team that played West Coast. - Nathan Schmook

    Freo certainly have one of the worst injury lists at the moment.

    This is an absolute critical must win game, if the first two tough games don't go our way.

    Freo will be good this year.

    We could be 0-3 after this game which would likely be season over.

    Early prognosis

    The Dockers have fast-tracked their expected returns for David Mundy, Alex Pearce and Nathan Wilson just a week after estimating they won't be available until round four or five. They are being conservative with Stefan Giro, however, after the midfielder spent time with the main training group. The Dockers confirmed on Tuesday Hayden Young had experienced quad tightness, resulting in his training load being managed. James Aish and Luke Ryan need to pass fitness tests after being withdrawn from the second Marsh Community Series match. - Nathan Schmook

    • 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.
