So he has gone from "maybe he'll play, we'll see if we can manage it" to "maybe we should seek the opinion of an expert".

The expert says he needs surgery, so he'll be out for 8 weeks.

What in the actual F is our 'medical' team doing?

the same ones that sent christian back out last year, this lot need to go aswell

    He was apparently a test last week and he didn't train at all. I still have an immense amount of respect for Simon Goodwin, due to the premiership and 2018 in particular, but his answers in press conferences are really frustrating. This isn't the first time he hasn't told the truth about someone's injuries.

    This is the team giving up, may as well let him have 8 weeks rest, instead of bringing him back which they have said he was nearly there for two weeks. Goodwin has thrown in the towel.

    When this bloke was at the Lions, their list was more injured than fit every season. A couple of years later, and they’re the fittest and healthiest team in the league aside from ACLs.

    A classic MFC, foot-shooting appointment.

    That is not really fair, to call the Coach a liar over Lever's injury..

    Goody could have been told he was hopefully right to go.

    Lever could have still had discomfort and it was decided he couldn't push through it, or it would be a problem continually, or he needed surgery to fully get rid of the issue, or a number of other scenarios.

    I hope we see Adams in the next 8 weeks.

    With injury comes opportunity for others.

    If the Lions' list was more injured than fit every season (which apart from being a hyperbole is demonstrably untrue), then that would be the responsibility of their High Performance Manager, Damien Austin. Who has been there for 10 years, including for their premiership.

    Yeah so after Thursday’s main session before the Suns game, the club was parading how Lever was going to team up with May etc - then he’s a late out.

    Then the club was saying he should be right to go for the following week - then he’s a test, which he fails to come up so he misses again.

    You just knew something wasn’t right when Goody was asked the question about Lever being ready for gather round…

    How the hell did it escalate so damn bad? Smh

    This blokes body’s just about cooked I reckon.

    I hope to god he never tells the truth about our injuries. The last thing we - or our opposition - need to hear is who's carrying what injury etc. etc.

    Time to move Disco back to see if he can make it as a Lever type interceptor.

    He's not a forward at AFL level.

    Ugh having no lever for 8 weeks sucks.

    That will leave petty in.

    Can we re-draft tomlinson?

    There was precisely no upside in delisting Tomlinson. All it did was compromise our depth given Marty Hore is forever injured.

    Don’t mind that. And get Petty the heck away from our defence.

    I’d give Petty a role up forward given he’s the only player that can take a contested mark aside from May and Gawn.

    No it isn't it's an injury to one key player.

    I don't believe many would 'throw in the towel' at this level unless they know they're on the way out either in a retirement sense (on the cusp) or to another club.

    Do some occasionally get overly happy with their lot and possibly aren't giving it their very best 98% of the time etc? Absolutely

    Ankles are pesky beasts though.

    Speaking of old mate Tommo, think it was reported that collingwood are eyeing him up for the mid-season draft as a replacement for Reef McInnes

    McVee and Jeffo available - but no VFL games.

    Tholstrup not listed, so presume he's available as well.

    Edit: My mistake, there are VFL games for Casey. Thanks to Distraction Jackson for calling me out.

    Ah yes, my mistake.

    I'd delete my post, but not possible on Demonland. Will have to settle for being publicly shamed for my ignorance.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
