Still sore after ruptured plantar fascia. Hoping to be right by next week.

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.

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
