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

    • 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.
