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:

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! 😂

And here I was thinking I'm pretty laconic.

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 !!

  • 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.
