    Can’t remember a player ever missing with a blister - infected or not.

    Blisters are painful, imagine having an infected one then running on it the way they do!

    Give him the rest so he is cherry ripe for 2nd half of the year...

    Jab it! The pain can be withheld for a few hours...

    We have a bye next week

    By blister is it a sun blister or one from a splinter. I'm hoping Maxy hasn't had Clarry in the shop making furniture to keep him busy while he rehabs his hamstring. What a disaster if true.

    Anyone heard of blister skins / tape. They are extremely effective once the infection has cleared, which hopefully is 1-2 days. He’ll be fine to train on Friday.

    anyone know what the issue with Hibbo was?  marked as injured but maybe more of a old man managed for a week?

    we need him back this week

    Hibbo has Achille soreness & will be “managed” all season…

    If it's purely the blister that's infected he'll probably be right to train later in the week and likely to play, if things are improving over the next couple of days.

    If there's cellulitis they'd be wise to get that fully under control which would put him in more doubt.

    I had an infected blister on my foot decades ago from bushwalking. It wasn't pleasant but fortunately occurred with only one morning to walk out. I certainly couldn't wear a shoe or sock and there wasn't much weight bearing. It felt like it had gone into the bone. I suspect Clarry has received the Rolls Royce of medical treatment though and wasn't wandering around in the middle of nowhere in Tassie.

    Put methylated spirits on it , will dry out very quickly and he will be right to go. I used this method on a white tail spider bite back in march and cleared it up in a couple of days.

    Hibbo was doing the full running program with everyone else. Though, a little bit behind some of the others. He and Lever were gasping, so was Tracc (who may have been "bunging" it on). A couple of the young ones dropped out, as well as Fritta (I think), close to the end.

    @kev martin thanks for your report!

    Do you think this implies we were pushing the fitness work a bit harder than a usual mid week session?

    Yes, though I haven’t seen any main session this season, but last time I saw a main session the focus was more on sims and execution of structures and processes. Could be because of the long break and they can push them, without game day fatigue. They were working them very hard.

    A few looked like they needed it, given some gasping, slouching and drop outs. Also appeared not like it too much, they went quiet and resigned to getting through it. Thought it was useful bonding being all in it together, and the congratulations and support they showed to each other after completion. The trainer (Selwyn) didn't inform them of how many sprints they were doing, showing lots of trust of him by them. Ended up going at about 3 sets, each 6×150 meters under 20 sec, with a 10 sec break between runs. The players had groupings that ran to various distanced coloured cones. There was also another set of sprints in between drills and some laps as a warm before drills.

    MacDonald - Ankle surgery and now '6 to 8'. Maybe a farewell via a 2023 VFL premiership?

    Hibberd - Managing for 'back end of the season'

    Oliver - Expected full training tomorrow

    That's old school right there, swear by it also.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
