Tough for them to name an accurate ETA for the type of injury he's got, the fact is come down 4 weeks is positive and almost surprising, I expected to see him hit with the dreaded TBC

Stress reactions are pretty common, clubs have a good guide on how long they take. The big issue is heโ€™s done the easy part of the rehab - sitting around doing non or low weight bearing stuff. The next month as he builds back up to full loads is the time where things could be really straightforward or face set backs.

Sounds pretty tough to get an ETA on

Cal Twomey says Culleyโ€™s out for 4-6 with bone stress in his foot (canโ€™t embed the Tweet).

Is this new or has the club already announced this and I missed it?

Havenโ€™t seen anything from the club.
It was mentioned he was in a moonboot in a training thread from last week. Was suggested the moonboot was a precaution.

Given that Spargo played in Saturdayโ€™s match simulation, and assuming he pulled up ok (does anyone know?), why would he still be listed as TBC on that injury list? ย Surely if heโ€™s now in full training, they must have some idea of a time frame.

I don't trust the AFL list for accuracy personally... waiting for the Selwyn update


While there is โ€˜onlyโ€™ 3 players on the list who would be considered top 23 players - Pickett, McVee and Tholstrup - we have roughly a quarter of our list (10) who are unavailable for Rnd 1. Thatโ€™s not ideal.ย 

Poor Jai. Turns out it wasnโ€™t a minor foot thing after all ๐Ÿ™

Itโ€™s new. Last week he said he thought it was a minor issue. He also said theyโ€™d only just put him in the moonboot that morning but it was only precautionary. Heโ€™d be gutted ๐Ÿ™

I'd have Spargo in my 23 if he's fit...

So we replace a LTI with another LTI! Classic

I would suggest orthotic insoles for Jai Culley in his football boots.

I wore them in my football boots as another level of protection against having any bone stress in my feet.

However, I am sure Selwyn Griffith and the Demons medical team know alot more than I do.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and โ€ฆ it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterdayโ€™s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourneโ€™s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldnโ€™t get any worse. Well, it did. And whatโ€™s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasnโ€™t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyonโ€™s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourneโ€™s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourneโ€™s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterdayโ€™s 7 goals 21 behinds.ย 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. Iโ€™ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards?ย Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?ย

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
