Blake Howes?

There was mention somewhere I seem to recall reading yesterday that said he was returning to the vfl - he was listed as 1 week a week or so ago.

 
 

Does anyone know the nature of Lever’s shoulder injury?  AC subluxation should be manageable, but a full AC  dislocation may not be. Presumably not a shoulder dislocation. 
 

And anything specific re BBB? All it says is “knee” which covers a full range from plays, 1week, all through to bye bye BBB. 

Joel Smithseems to have accelerated towards being able to take the field, hopefully not to sustain yet another injury. Could be handy as a defender or a forward, or even medical  sub. 


From training photos:

Oliver

No protection on his right hand!

He got two coaches votes vs bulldogs playing one-handed!

Watch out Freo!!

Goodwin flagged in the postgame presser that BBB has a permanent knee issue.

One wonders if he'll see his entire contract through?

Agree. Brown had knee issues at Norfff. We took the gamble and it paid off. A premiership to remember.
Love what the BBB delivered in the GF but I think BBB will go through to end 2023 most likely. We need the succession planning to happen for JVR to come through for 2024.

With Daw retired, Mitch Brown likely to, Jacko probably gone, JVR not quite ready, TMac sketchy and Goody not being a fan of Weid, it definitely gives a lot more context to why we've been chasing so many key forwards. Could be a big issue next year.

I wouldn’t mind a Fogarty type player to help fill the void someone with a it of mongrel to hand out a bit of hurt. JVR might have to come into the mix earlier to take the second or third tall. We put a lot of our eggs into LJ it’s really going to hurt our list if he walks out, we really need to keep playing Weid for the rest of the year. Preferably at CHF.

Added a Weid into conversation.

We must try Joel Smith in F50 - hopefully he can get on the park and stay there

Yes Sydee he would be very handy in F50 right now if he were fully fit, even Howes if fit.

Anyone else find it strange that there's no official injury list available despite the fact that the team trained yesterday?

Main training session was today Chelly, might get released soon.

Good to see Joel Smith available . 

He was good for us early this year. Still not sure his best position but is very versatile. At a minimum he is a better sub option than Bedford,thommo and others who have been sub this year

Could be very handy up forward/back. Hope he gets a gig soon.

Petty x JVR 

Petty forward, JVR back?

Both fwd 

I'd persist with Tommo back 

 

Health wise we have Rosman and TMac our only long term injuries with BB requiring long term management for his knee. Hopefully Joel Smith and Daniel Turner stay fit and healthy over the next 4 weeks excellent depth.

We don’t have to really worry about pressure acts in t who ever we recruit . Because, we’ll you know anyone would be an improvement in that area

  • 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.
