I doubt Ben Brown will do much training this season, let alone between short breaks. 
 

Does Trac have any visible bandages or strapping? 

No, maybe just general soreness.

Trac looks fine, no strapping, just not his normal self. The only people with noticeable strapping are Chin and Tom Mc

As training progresses (very casually) and the boys start handing out little footys, BBB and Chin are alternating on the bike. Clarry is in seemingly no discomfort, May still seems sore, Tom Mc did stuff all, Trac was VERY limited and had a long chat with Goody, Chin was very down, shaking his head, BBB walking ok, but not trying to do anything intense. Everybody else seemed ok, BUT, I am 58 and I could have completed that training no problem!!

I have a feeling Trac and Clarry are both playing with one hand tied behind their back(s).

In the Hawthorn game Trac was in visible discomfort with one of his hands and it was the one he ran 100m to punch the ball through for aa point with


Trac may be playing with a leg injury because it was obvious against Port that he was labouring on occasion when he tried to put on the jets 

I wouldn’t take much out of today, they’ve only had one day of rest after what was a pretty physical encounter.
Our main session would be in two days if we had a full week between games.

There was one point in the 3rd that Trac pulled up sore in a contest.

I remember this, he looked proppy on a left knee/ankle maybe on the outer wing, took his kick but didn’t look comfortable at the time. Channel 7, in their usual way, didn’t follow it up (despite having two boundary riders!).

That was the one. The camera did pan back to him at the next stoppage and he looked to be walking ok. I think he was off the ground for a little bit after that but they never did any follow up with the boundary riders to get an update.

Tholstrop is also training with the main group. 

Had a good game at Casey.

If Chandler doesn't get up he could be in.

PS Given that the sub is no longer a "medical" sub I wonder if we will relax the policy of debutants not being named as the sub

There is of course Laurie who would come into consideration if Chandler is not available

Smacca (McAdam) said he'll be right to play by next Monday (roughly).*

Whether that's via Casey or straight in... who knows.

*subject to no further setbacks

The 5 day break came at the worst possible time.

I personally don’t think there’s ever a good time for a 5 day break. 

They only exist to satisfy Channel 7 and their insatiable desire for Thursday night footy. Which, when we’re involved, I hate.

We really should have been scheduled to play Port on the Friday night giving us a 6 day break. The AFL should try to avoid 5 day breaks as much as possible if not at all.

The Crows got Friday night!

crows won't have got too much of an advantage.  one more day for them, but they had the long flight before and after their game which would have cut into that extra day

plus crows got 2 injuries to mllera and  murphy - both knee injuries

Crows played Friday in Perth.

It's fair

Look on the bright side. We are playing Adelaide when they are in a slump and the same with the Lions. Win those two and we are setting up a solid launchpad for top 4.

Five weeks ago few if any would have thought we could win all three

It looked to me like he jarred his knee. Very frustrating they never followed up. But he seemed to run it out by the next contest and played out the game. If he did jar it he would be mighty sore today. Fingers crossed he gets up.

Grammar. Doh!

 

Trac’s a warrior, I saw that knee jar too but the way he plays he’s probably sore mid week every week….be surprised if it was enough to keep him out

  • 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.
