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

And a hamstring


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.

Sounds like Binman is on the money!

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.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    The Demons are back on the road again for the third time this season when they take on the red hot ladder leaders the Sydney Swans at the SCG. Can the Demons take another big scalp? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
    Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
