Was Travis injured during last weeks game?

Because according to 774 ABC news this morning, they said that "Aaron Davey and Travis Johnstone look set to play against Collingwood on Monday"

Could this explain his average game?

Foot, leg, ankle? Think something has been troubling trap below the waist, not sure what though.

Well if he is set to play, clearly it isn't too bad.

He is definitely carrying something though.

Just read that Shaw and Clement are out, while Presti is in doubt and obviously so is Buckley (if he plays, get Carroll to tackle him at the first bounce and he's out of there).

I'm looking forward to Robbo dominating, now that Clement is not playing.

Como's out for four, he's screwed his foot. Good news about Shaw, he's a damaging player and thought ten days would have been enough to get over a corky.

All-Australian defender James Clement and Heath Shaw are both out of contention, with their respective calf and corked-thigh injuries.

Paul Licuria, who tore a hamstring in Round 4, trained at top pace in his bid to convince the selectors his one game back with Williamstown last weekend is enough preparation to earn a recall.

Key defender Simon Prestigiacomo was again missing with a continuing foot problem, but he is expected to take his place in the side.

is it just me or given that the games on monday is it not a long time away to be ruling out a player with a corky?

Just another rumour doing the rounds re: presti, mon will reveal all..

According to The Age, Johnno just has "general soreness".

Which means anything from a broken bone, to OP, to pulled muscle, to toothache, to "we're trying to confuse Collingwood".

'General soreness' is probably the most useless injury term in AFL.

Which player doesn't have general soreness at Round 11?

That's what I would have thought and it's been alluded during the week that he was going to pull up.

Well he’d been our best player against West coast and the kanga’s but he started the adelaide game on the bench. Also started after half time on the bench. This would suggest that either ND was trying to lose, or something’s not quite right with him.

Presti has stress fractures of the foot which has been troubling him.

Not at all, the corky Shaw got was very severe. He probably still has bleeding in his leg and would be finding even walking difficult.

The stats surely tell the story.

Game time v Adelaide = 54%.

If he were 100% fit, that would be >80%.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
