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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
