A weights accident! Thats bizarre.

Terrible news. She's a big loss. I love her dash and dare. 

Defensive stocks getting tested with Colvin and now Eliza going down. 


Sounds like a freak accident! Spinal is never a word you want to hear. I'm glad the surgery went well, though it sounds like a long road to recovery.

She's had some bad luck already, with that nasty concussion early in the final last year. A super talented player and obviously a well-liked club person.

Yikes, that is not a great start to the pre season between Colvin & McNamara. We're going to need some of the players on the fringes to really step up this year.

Such a shame.  Eliza was having a great pre-season, working hard on everything including her speed.   Wishing her a full recovery.  

 

Spinal is such a scary word. Immediately shifts thoughts more to 'I hope she is okay' rather than 'how will this affect the team'.

Of course, since we already have confirmation that she is 'okay' (relatively), well, this is going to suck for the team because she is a real spark. I mean, she is practically a human spark on field and socially!

Get the feeling she'll hate not being able to bump around for a while. Fingers crossed for a speedy and clear recovery.

Clubs have until August 23 to sign injury replacement players should any listed athlete be moved to the inactive list before then. 

Eliza has been moved to the inactive list so we have an opportunity to sign another player.  


Close to being the most talented player on the list. Great shame. Hope she comes back well for 2023.

Gutted for Eliza.  Fortunately the prognosis for complete recovery is very positive.

Her aerobic capacity is a cut above most, and it adds a real weapon on one wing. 


She's such a sweetheart. Pity she can't be part of it this year but what a player to get back for 2023

Noticed that Eliza's been on the bench doing some kind of role a few games this season. She'll come back with something extra from that. It'd be a tough injury to deal with but looks like she's handled it all well and making strides now, with a grin, of course, no surprise there! Will be a massive in for 2023.

Colvin joins the 'first post-injury run' club! Plenty of time before next season to tick all the boxes.

Of course it wouldn't be a training video without there being something alarming to notice like... Duffy in a moonboot!

And she was good on her return - had a few goal assists and her kicking inside50 is great.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
