Anyone know how long before Lever joins normal training? it does seem he stays in rehab longer than many, when injuried.

    That’s probably because he seems to get more complicated leg/knee type injuries.

    For those not regular patrons to the training threads I assume the rehab group is as follows:

    REHAB: Spargo, Lever, Lindsay & McAdam

    and Brown

    A small group of the boys ran a time trial before training while I was killing time up the road at Coles 😭 Maybe another track-watcher was here at the time?

    Noticing Nathan Bassett much more today. He is taking the main, full group ball movement activity, with Goody looking on. Bassett barking instructions constantly

    Rando training player looks a lot like former cat Mitch Hardie

    At Tracc’s first session back he was nervous and it showed. But that was then, now he’s yelling out encouragement and motivating everyone and not keeping a low profile. In particular, he’s very encouraging to Harvey. Tracc’s on the boundary watching Harvey and regularly calling out “that was great, Harvey!” The look of pride on Harvey’s face is priceless.

    Also, Tracc isn’t holding back one iota. He tackles hard and gets tackled just as hard. Honestly, you wouldn’t know at all what happened to him merely six months ago.

    Clarrie’s hand update: “it’s [censored] great!” He says it’s 100% back to pre-injury.

    Match sim.

    Lovely mark on the lead by Dees CHF Harry Petty 

    (they’re playing with a backline of Judd and Windsor most of the key backs are rolling through a forward line).

    Jed Adams nice run and receive on the next piece of play.

    Bad Harry Sharp turnover kicking to Bowser.

    Clarry and Tracc racking them up

    It was reported that Rick had post season shoulder surgery.

    Bowser and Salo the 2 man backline now.

    Moving fast with lots of diagonal stuff which is good to see.

    Not always connecting to the forwards - nice Kalani intercept and spoil there - but Riv, Viney, Koss have all run the ball through the middle

    He’s doing a lot of agility and very structured short running for a shoulder. Might be knee related shoulder surgery

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
