Lever very borderline for Saturday according to CH 10 news.

How many ankle injuries has be had since round 1 2022??

He does roll ankles very frequently, I wonder why is that.

    Everything was dangerous at Springvale. 

    I thought Doveton, was pretty rough, cannot remember going in and having a beer after,

    however Thornbury played as hard, but you could have a beer, perhaps only one,

    I have a theory on his ankles.

    I've known only a couple lads over the years who have made the firsts in the big time.  I remember talking with two different players at different teams and they both said it was mandatory for them to tape there ankles to prevent rolling them in games.  

    One bloke had knee worries so he used to cut his tape after the physios were done.  In his mind, he'd rather roll an ankle rather than have it supported and place extra stress on his knees.

    I wonder if Lever is one of the few who doesn't tape his ankles to protect his knees as well with the history he's had.

    It really is an average joint the ankle. It's supposed to hold your whole body up for crying out loud!

    10 year Thornbury player here. Definitely enjoyed a beer with opponents afterwards, but I always kept an eye on 2-3 team-mates that had the potential to explode.

    the teams i hated for sheer thuggery were port melbourne and oakleigh districts (old federal league).   for port melbourne you can add their supporters including old crones who delighted in spitting on you as you ran through the race.

    oakleigh districts probably worse. their whole game plan was based around intimidation led by captain/coach ex demon peter brenchley (who off the ground miraculously turned into a plum in the mouth gentleman)

    Did not mind Thornbury,  I played with UHSOB, couple of suburbs away, so tough match, tough to support the seniors but never really a problem, but we never over stayed our welcome.  Only played a couple of times about  the 1980's if i remember. All a bit of a blur now, throw in a marriage and breakup, I do not remember and not sure i want to remember it all.   If I remember Thornbury had one neighbour club they absolutely hated and same the other way.

     

    Anyway   Go Dees

    Yes I remember Oakleigh Districts in the 70's   sounds the same as Doveton in the 80's. wasnt really safe during daylight if you played for their opposition.

    Can confirm its averageness, currently rehabbing a sprained ankle myself.

    The joint sporadically decides to hate me. The villain origin story being a game of indoor soccer in my early 20s when it decided to go rogue.

    Share your hatred of Port Melbourne.  Played 3rds VFA football against them. Team-mate threatened with a gun by a supporter over the fence. I was king hit by a supporter from behind coming off the ground.  I was also hit when watching in the crowd the year before.

    I remember playing against UHSOB. Enjoyable. Also remember playing against La Trobe Uni. They once described playing against us was like playing against cartoon characters because so many Thornbury players had tattoos. We read it and several of us that didn't have tatts decided to buy several temp ones and put them everywhere including our faces. They looked in shock and we led by 15 goals at half-time 🤣

    The neighbour club you recall was Bulleeen United. Those matches weren't fun. Actually dangerous, ugly affairs.

    Terrible decision to being him back on after his injury when the game was over already ... makes no sense and makes you wonder with all the monitoring they do why they can't make the decisions that matter most

    Any sign of Harmes returning?  Track watchers?  Kev??

    Lever out is a real bugger.  Our backline uaually struggles without one of wither him or May not playing.

    Tomo in to replace but he's not like for like.

    It"s a pitty Disco wasn't up & about as he may have been in the mix to replace if he had some games under his belt & in decent form.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
