plantarus muscle

Wasn’t aware that he had been diagnosed with plantaris tear, but it doesn’t cause foot pain, nor (after being treated or removed) should it affect strength-power function in push-off for running or jumping, other than relating to pain. If he had persistent soleus-gastroc issues, then that would explain it better. Plantaris is undoubtedly a niggle muscle, but not much more other than acutely.

    Maybe I wasn’t listening properly to my Physio when I told me what I had. Jake just gave me flashbacks the way he reacted. I constantly played with this desire to take my boots off it was so painful in the muscle underneath my foot leading to my heal.

    Sorry for the diversion everyone - I just want Webber to diagnose my issues. 😩

    You had plantar fasciitis, rpfc. It’s a nasty sucker. Better now?

    I swear my Physio said it wasn’t superficial? And couldn’t be that? But idk.

    To answer your question, yes, but it effed with my brain and spent a year weirdly not pushing off properly and landing from jumping like an 80 year old.

    It isn’t, it’s an inflammatory irritation of the bone to fascial (connective tissue) attachment.

    Sucked in on day 1 of trade radio and heard the genius Brenton Sanderson give his take on how Grundy gets to us and Jackson to Freo.

    Pick 13 from Freo to Melbourne for Jackson 

    Ontrade pick 13 to Collingwood for Grundy.

    And… he suggested pies may need something more from us, like second rounder or a player eg: Weids!!!

    to cap off his work, he says he can’t see how Grundy improves Melbourne.

    Surprised he didn't suggest we'd chuck in Trac as a sweetener

    There is a new Jay Clark article suggesting there is a 3rd club that will assist Jackson getting to Freo. Cannot access.

    Port Adelaide looms as the key to helping Fremantle unlock the first-round pick swap which can secure the trade for Luke Jackson. 

    Fremantle currently has pick 14 and is talking to clubs higher in the draft order in order to nab a pick inside the top 10 to pass on to the Demons for Jackson. 

    Melbourne wants two first-round picks for Jackson, including at least one selection inside in the top 10, from Fremantle. 

    The Power is open to shuffling back several spots in the first round of the draft, which could see the club swap its pick 8 for Fremantle’s pick 14. 

    Port Adelaide would receive at least one second-round pick from Fremantle as extra incentive to move six spots backwards in the first round. 

    The deal would mean the Dockers are armed with a prized top-10 selection to give to Melbourne to seal the deal for Jackson. 

    But Port Adelaide is holding the upper hand in the negotiations as the club is happy to hold on to pick 8, and the Power won’t do the deal unless it benefits them.

    Bulldogs possibly through Freo trades and if Tommo ends up going to Dogs that is tied in to possible deals.

    Sorry there was info around about the Bulldogs being involved and thought it was what Jay Clark would be mentioning.

    BTW  I hope Port aren't doing this to try and sweeten us about Kossie to go to them. Never know do we!!

    Apparently Lobb for  WB2nd: 29 (?) or so, Logue goes for NM2nd: 19 (?) - I'm guessing Port want pick 19.

    So we get pick 8 and a Future 1st? Give us 29 too please!

    Amiss would go okay with the big Rooter in 2023

    Speaking of Rooters, no way we'd spend pick 8 on Skinny Cox

    Given a number of trades involves North / Brisbane and its unclear if their coaches will remain the trade situation will be interesting.  Eg Does Logue still want to go to North?

    Would people want us to package up what we get to try and get higher up the order (Pick 1 is tradeable) or more just go scatter gun approach with 2 first round picks?

    Grab pick 1 for Cadman should the club rate him accordingly

    I still think we'll get shafted. 

    If the reports are true that wce aren't really in the conversation, then I think the best we'll get is Pick 8 and a F2 and some change. 

    If pick 8 wasn't involved then I think we'd get 13 and a F1 with 32 going back. 

    Either way Melbourne and Fremantle have been in discussions for a very long time. I think both clubs are aware of what the final deal will be already.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
