Channel 9 news just reported that TMac went in for scans today. Haven’t elaborated yet. Stay tuned. 

UPDATE:

Just saw the spot on 9 news. They Doorstopped him at AAMI Park presumably walking from the radiologist place that is there back to the MFC facility. He is adamant that he will play this week and it’s just ongoing monitoring of his Lisfranc injury.
 

From about 1:42 of this clip

I remember seeing vision of McDonald and Goodwin in what looked like a serious discussion after the match to which McDonald and Goody both looked down  towards his foot.

He was off the ground for a long time towards the end but came back on.

I suppose Schache and JVR will be very interested in the outcome.

I hope the man who has participated in 15 consecutive wins for us (still undefeated) is ok, as he clearly does a few things right.

Fritta says Hello. 

Not like-for-like in my books. Fritter is a 3rd forward, not a KPF.

I do agree with this absolutely, but don’t think we’ll see Schache or JVR come in if Fritta returns this week. I think our best forward structure is 2 keys + Fritta but really don’t think they’ll do it.

What would be stopping them?  Surely they have trained in that tall role all preseason and if they are both fit, they will chose whoever is in the best form.

Surely Fritta (if he really is ready) replaces Pickett. Which means JVR might get his chance. 
 

But the main hope is that it’s all a storm in a teacup. But foot injuries…. It makes me shudder. I think of Jack Viney who took years to get right, and then Jack Trengove and Aaron VDB who didn’t.

JVR come on down!

Doesn't sound like great news for TMac. He's struggled with his foot for years now, and at 30 years old it's not going to get any easier to manage or recover from when injured. Shame his last few years have been impacted by the foot as he was really hitting his stride as a good key forward.

He was key to structure up forward on the weekend and giving brown space, huge loss if out

I've long been a TMac fan but he must be close to cooked. If either Schache or JVR can't offer what he offered on Saturday night then why are they on the list.  Name one thing he did that the others couldn't do. Not to mention Fritsch will take Laurie's spot soon enough. If JVR hasn't built the tank as someone suggested then play Schache and see if at 25 the penny has finally dropped.

Tom says he’ll be there Friday night, just a regular check up after the game.

Channel 7 said it was a standard scan post off season surgery.

Channel 7 also said Viney and May more likely to return this week than Salem and Fritta.

Must have been the foot of a giant that stepped on Fritta... 6 weeks off for a stomped foot sounds like someone is lying.

Could be wrong but didn't someone on DL post it was Stafford.  If so that fits the 'foot of a giant' description😉.

Edit: @WalkingCivilWarhas just clarified it wasn't Stafford... see a few posts below.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
