Did anyone else see the topic and thought his hammy had blown up again?

Anyway, Yze sounded really confident on radio that he's on the right path and will playing games within 2-3 weeks.

(I've learnt not to hang off every word Goodwin says in his interviews)

If he can get the last 3 games in before finals, then that would be a good result. Even better if we can knock off Richmond without him.

Don't you mean "when" ? 

 

He has been out for a long time does he come back via Casey or straight in? Medical sub might be good.

Clarence Oliver does not "do Casey" 😁

Cmon man! He walks straight into the first centre bounce 

I don’t think the FD are playing games. I presume the hospitalisation due to infection significantly impacted his conditioning and delayed his return.

frustrating for sure but the silver lining is he’ll be raring to go and cherry ripe for finals

Lol at Clarry playing for Casey.

Me, trying to be zen and accept that Clarry will be back when Clarry is back:

Me, in reality, in response to every conflicting media report by every know-nothing under the sun:

I reckon Goodwin is giving us nothing after he told us 10 times Clarry will play next week, when Clarry in fact did not play the following week. 
 

Yze would be much more in the know anyway since he’s Clarry’s direct line coach, so would have conversations with him on the daily.
He is probably sage cleansing and praying daily for the return of his star player! 😂

Got that wrong.

yep

Looking forward to your non-laconic podcast.  We love the nitty gritty.  😀

Yep i think more so on the impact on Clarry and putting indirect/unnecessary pressure on him to be fit and healthy. I think he'll come back and play against Norf and get some match fitness before he is then really tested against the Blues the week after. I found what Yze said in relation to him joining the team for full training an interesting statement as the track watchers have already mentioned that he has been doing that for quite a few weeks. Was that perhaps an indication that he has recovered and now its all about building match fitness?

  • Demonland changed the title to Clarrie Oliver … the saga continues?

On the socials today there is a video of the full group doing run throughs and Clarry is in there.

Casey would be a kick in the bum, sub would be a plank across the guts.

Clarry can be glimpse in the second pic/video.

I found it helpful to watch that video at 2x speed.

Clarry looks ready to roll.

He won't have played for over 2 months by the time he gets back, could be closer to 3. He is not Superman.

If he was superman DC he would have not missed a game.

Nothing released officially by the club on their website or socials but this was on the AFL Website.

Medical room: The full AFL injury list, R20

melbourne.jpg?width=500
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN
 Bayley Fritsch  Foot  4-5 weeks
 Tom McDonald  Ankle  1-3 weeks
 Clayton Oliver  Hamstring  2-3 weeks
 Harrison Petty  Ribs  Test
 Daniel Turner  Wrist  4-5 weeks
 Kye Turner  Groin  TBC
Updated: July 25, 2023

Early prognosis

Petty should be fit to face the Tigers after the club erred on the side of caution for the Adelaide clash. Oliver is still at least a fortnight away as he builds his ability to hit top speed, while McDonald continues to train with the main group as he closes on a playing return. – Michael Rogers

Oliver - not a Superman, probably 426. A wimp?

He’s way better than Superman. How many All Australian teams and coaches awards has Superman won? None. 
He is a hack. 

Still shown as 2-3

Is that weeks  or months ??

If this is just a hamstring  I'm the archangel Gabriel.

Best recovery Clarry !!

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
