Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I searched and couldn't find it.

 

I read somewhere that TMac has re-injured his foot and won't play today? Anyone shed some light? This doesn't sound very good for Tom who has had a history of toe/foot related injuries..

 

Can't help thinking of Trengove, Mitch Clark etc.....

    [censored]! Shouldn’t have tried to rush him back so hard. 3 months for a 6 month injury? Jesus

    So he wouldn't have been available Friday night anyway if we did get through.

    Well at least they can take time over the pre season to get it right.

    I hope they do because we really missed him

    When he played in the Prelim for Casey after our season was done, I thought to myself ‘why?’

    It may be a sign of the respect between clubs and the playing group but the risk did not outweigh that benefit.

    And here we are.

    The fact we are chasing Gunston is probably a result of this. Incredibly poor decision making from the football dept. Reeks of desperation.

    Where has it confirmed that we're chasing Gunston?

    He does reek of desperation.  It would have been left in T Macs hands if he wanted to have a crack at it and he choose to do so

    It’s still the FD call. They would have to tick it off.

    I thought they said during coverage last week that someone stepped on his foot?

    If so, it might be a bad luck situation rather than poor management.

    I assume you're a doctor/physio and you can definitively confirm that the speed of TMac's rehab contributed to the re-injury?

    Had his foot stomped on last week which could very likely be what has caused the re-injury.

    I remember asking myself "Why" when watching Schwarz run around like a man possessed in a pre-season game starring in the 2s at Lavington after his 1st or 2nd knee reco.
    Popped it again early in the 3rd qtr.
     
    In the 2s, playing like it was a final during pre-season.
    Could not believe what I was watching.

    I believe The Charlatan mentioned this in between moaning about being victimised or some nonsense.

    Pretty sure they said on the broadcast after interviewing him that it wasn't that but a kick to the calf..

    Its a 6 month injury - one that some don’t ever come back from and he was playing back at 3 months. Now he’s out injured. 

    I don’t have to be a medic to question wtf they thought they were doing. It’s shambolic.

    • 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.
