    Minor procedure and has escaped significant damage. Great news.

    Sounds similar to what T-Mac had in 2019. He went off after kicking six goals against the Blues. It ended his season but there were only about six games left of a train wreck of a year.

    Give him plenty of time to recover

    He is one of the impossible to replace guys

    Good news that it's not an ACL or another sort of long-term injury.

    Still, albeit with no medical background at all, I'd imagine this is a 6-week injury at a minimum.

    T Mac tore his meniscus that day.

    Funny (not funny) that he finally played a ripping game that year and then his season was over.

    As for Salem, 6 weeks or under is a good result here. Rather he out at the start of the year than the business end.

    yes agreed. chipped cartilage not strained?? 

    what’s the likely scenario? 

    a./  career ending possible amputation.  

    b./ season ending 

    c./ 12 weeks plus. Back in for finals

    d./ 4-6 ( which safely covers all of the above) 

    e./ @Webber

    I fully expect the club to claim that the injury is in no way connected to his knee injury from the practice match the previous week. Whether that's true or not.

    Unless he went into the game with chipped cartilege, sounds like a new injury?

    Will definitely be a big loss but as they say: one soldier goes down and another one comes in.

    I understand that there is a large gulf in experience, power and size between them but we should feel very pleased we have Jake Bowey in the backline. He really assists with clean disposal and clear-headed decision making from the backline...not saying that he fully covers the hole left by Salem going out but his quick development to date really helps

    Yup, I remember it well. Carlton charged back and hit the front, only a game saving booming goal from Hunty near the end got us over the line. Isn't cartilage and meniscus the same thing? I've got meniscal tears in each of my knees but the last surgeon I saw didn't want to trim them lest it leave bone rubbing against bone which would be worse.

    Keyhole type surgery, expect him to be mobile day 1, weight bearing day 2.  Prob a week to get back to full running and another 2 to get back fitness. Guess 3-4 weeks

    • 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.
