IF he comes back. 
He just can’t catch a break. Lack of durability is really a problem for him. 

Petty is very injury prone.

We can’t be certain fritta comes back this year either . Foot injuries are tricky.

    Don't tell anyone but....

    WE ARE IN SECOND PLACE!!

    Not yet. Lions still to play. But with a big last quarter we can stay there even if they win.

    Geez we've got at least 8 players who have lifted their form from last year.

    I'd include Nibbler there. Add JVR, JV, McVee, Chandler, Hunter, Rivers, ...

    Possibly 3 or 4 who've dropped away, albeit injuries playing a part.

    I woukd actually prefer Schacke, more mobility and a good back up ruck option

    It might have to be this. Brown is no longer the answer, particularly under finals pressures.

    It's a travesty if Daicos wins the Brownlow before Clarry 😡😡😡

    They both deserve it… unfortunately Clarry will have to wait until next year.

    Syndesmosis?

    Athletes are allowed to return to sport when they can perform their sport-specific tasks at game speed with good movement quality and no significant complaints of pain or instability. Evidence suggests that syndesmosis sprains typically require 6 to 8 weeks for recovery, but this is variable.

    And Ben Brown does?  I love BB but the game has passed him.  Once T-Mac is running a lnd fit maybe.  But Grundy can't play that role unfortunately

    The answer is Petty and JVR. Now petty is out. smith as forward, and Tomlinson back

    My only hope is that Petty doesn’t look incredibly upset so maybe it’s not as bad as we suspect and it’s precautionary?

    • 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.
