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

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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
