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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
