Looks like a substantial bit of bone. Not nice to have in ones ankle and may explain his lack of mobility.

Hopefully, we need him and another key forward, firing for the rest of the year.

Rough for Tom . Hopefully back to build some fitness and form 4-6 weeks out from finals. Could be required depending on injury and or form . He has been unlucky the past 2 years.

 

In other news clarry has an infected blister

Anyone know much about Will Ferrell? Are we expecting him to become a senior player at any stage or is he purely speculative?

The language around Petty doesn't sound fantastic. Is listed as 1-2 weeks but Selwyn stated they will have more clarity about what his return will look like after that time.

At the time the club reported it came down to how quickly  the ligament healed.  May be some lingering challenge there.  Always sound3d a bit uncertain

No rush.  Tomo is a handy back up in the short term.

Need to get this one right as Petty's critical to our chances at the pointy end.

Petty back in 1-2 matches the timeline we heard when it happened. I’m not worried. Get him right and he makes us better.

Bad news for TMac, but BBB is on the runway awaiting take off.

Latest injury update. No mention of BBB and he's featured in the training gallery so presume he's good to play at some level this weekend. Good to see Verrall back into main training and possibly playing this week as well.

I would hate to be the coach that tells Clarry he isn’t ready to play Thursday

Oliver doesn't have a leg to stand on if he is told he can't play.  He disobeyed doctor's orders and left hospital impacting his recovery thereby disadvantaging the team. 

It is similar to breaking the rule of not drinking while injured for which players have incurred a suspension.  May comes to mind.

For that breach alone Oliver will be damn lucky if he doesn't get a club suspension or leadership group suspension.  He put himself before the team.

This is the hand Selwood kicked last year. 

So several things are ailing Oliver,

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
