Thanks Webber.

A Lisfranc foot injury is, or can be worse, is that right?

PS:  Can’t you blokes design a more durable body?

Can be quite the spectrum of severity, Red. Depends on the degree of disruption. If it’s just ligament tear without any joint displacement, the whole thing just needs immobilisation, whence it heals up, and on away you go. Surgery will sometimes be chosen to make sure of the ligament ‘attachment’. The worst situation is a full dislocation, what we have called a career killer, because it’s hard to stabilise multidirectionally. It’s the weight bearing arch, so all push off activities rely on it. Surgery is the only option, but outcomes aren’t perfect, though much better in the last 10 -15 years.

    So is 5 weeks with surgery a realistic timeline?

    With 67,943 members you'd think the Club could let us know what's going on. Why do we have to get it from journo's. 

    Because they don't know yet. They'll tell us when they know.

    Soft modern-day  football boots is the problem.  The past players' association should insist on our players only wearing  Ron Barassi boots with  appropriate metal caps (ouch, kicking in danger) and thick leather soul and hard leathered skin.

    Here is another fun fact, high heels were designed by the Persians in the 10th centruy for their cavalry so they had better grip in the stirrups. 

    Love this!

    This is the second significant (and potentially season ending) injury we've had at Blundstone in recent seasons.

    Petty now, and previously Tomlinson with his ACL in 2021, which is what lead to the emergence of Petty in the first place.

    🤔

    The vitriol being aimed at Sparrow is completely uncalled for. 

    I mentioned it yesterday but not to blame Sparrow - he's one of my faves! It was more frustration that it occurred after a relatively straightforward skill error. But not vitriol at all so I hope no-one took it that way.

    Petty should sue the AFL for a substandard surface.

    Where was OH&S?

    Tracc has to play key forward now.  Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney supported by Sparrow, Jordon and the occasional Pickett foray should be capable enough.  We've seen enough of what the others have to offer. A forward line of JVR, Tracc, Melksham, Fritsch, Pickett, Chandler and ANB should be capable enough.  Maybe Smith steps in for Fritsch in the interim.

    I assume we’ll definitely hear by tomorrow. Maybe just wrapped up in the usual article but you’d think the club would release something earlier given how critical it is.

    Think we have played there 6 of last 7 years.

    How often have the non Kardinia Park playing teams played there?

    • 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.
