I imagine we will have a very light week on the training track given the short turnaround, and then another interstate trip.

0 stars for the AFL fixturing. First time all year we've had two consecutive games at home all season, and it's coming off a 5 day break. Cheers Gil. 

At least after the bye we only travel twice.

    Spargo stayed firmly on the ground.

    In general that's what I am used to.

    The first quarter against the Swans was a show stopper

    That’s the worry. He has missed a lot of footy, both high intensity training and matches. We need him back but we need him back all guns blazing and playing 4Q of footy. Half fit or limited game time is not what the team needs. I would rather go with a fully fit alternative defender like a Turner than a player not 100 percent ready. 

    Goody clearly stated on the weekend that Salo had had an excellent pre season before his injuries about Round 1 and afterwards.  Yes some fitness would be down but not to use your expressions not "half fit or limited game time". 

    Salo would /should have at least 2 Casey games and not be rushed like last year before he was fully fit and ready. 

    He might be available for AFL straight after the bye if 4 weeks is realistic time for resumption in VFL.

    Goodwin said Salem was a month away. Glad they are going to take their time with him. Need him for the back half of the season. 
     

    3 weeks Gorg but with Goody's 'no risk' policy he might be adding the extra week.

    What's the old Irish saying...

    So Salem is in full training but Goodwin says he's 4 - 5 weeks away, what am I missing? I'd so love a fit Salem at HB for the last 10 weeks of the season

    3 weeks away Roost according to Salo

    He was on light duties.

    The light duties players (Hibbo, McVee, Fritsch) were on the field for about 30 minutes

    Was today full training day?

    Wonder how they had the forward set up? If so was Petty still there working with the forwards?

    No very far from a full training. Just a quick, boisterous run which had a bit more intensity then normal.

    They didn't split into the lines.

    It has been suggested to me that they won't have a main training session this week.

    Next one is the captain's run on Friday, 9.30 am Gosch's paddock. (Probably)

    Thanks Kev and all posters difficult to get any serious training in with a five day break when coming off so much travel and a hard tough Monday night game.!!

    • 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.
