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.

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

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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
