    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
