PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 8th December 2025

Featured Replies

How many weeks was Bowser in the rehab group before heโ€™s gone in for surgery?

Feels like at least 2, maybe even 3? Very frustrating that they couldnโ€™t pick up on this earlier.

I assumed he was injured at some point on the camp. The next week back he was in rehab on Monday and Wednesday running laps. On the Friday he turned up to training on crutches and in a moon boot. So from coming back from the camp until the crutches and moon boot it was two track sessions.

Felt longer than that but seems youโ€™re correct, thereโ€™s photos of him training on the Tuesday session on camp and then reports from the Thursday session were that he was in the rehab group and not looking comfortable

This is great! Itโ€™s from Fridayโ€™s session. And ima go ahead and claim credit for the soundtrack. I told Trent our videographer that itโ€™d be wonderful to not always have the generic electric guitar background music. I said (jokingly)โ€ฆ โ€œA classical piece would be nice.โ€ And here we are ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Whenever I hear that music (Fleur de Lisโ€ฆedit: Fรผr Elise), I feel like Iโ€™ve been put on hold!

They donโ€™t expect Bowser to be up by the beginning of the season but itโ€™s too early to tell so I guess theyโ€™re being conservative

Says 6 months, which basically takes us May/June

Just on the way home after going to my first training run for the 2026 season.

I hope you pulled up ok.

Does this qualify to open up a spot via the SSP or does a injury need to rule you out for the whole year.

According to the medics heโ€™s tracking well, level with whatโ€™s expected.

According to anyone with a brain heโ€™s recovering from a severed achilles, long injury recovery around the 12 month mark.

Heโ€™s getting some kms into the legs and looks in decent shape, so would anticipate fairly confidently heโ€™s on a managed program under the S&C.

And you think the poster you responded to doesnโ€™t unnecessarily pot our players.

That is a cruel injury indeed for Jake Bowey, the Lis Franc foot injury has ended a number of careers and seems to take a full year to overcome. Jack Trengrove was never the same after he sustained his. Good Luck Bowsa.๐Ÿฅฒ

I didnโ€™t even notice to whom I was responding. I simply repeated what Iโ€™d been told right at the end of the session and thatโ€™s that heโ€™s tracking as expected at this point in his recovery.

Return to Gosch's or Casey?

At this stage itโ€™s Goschโ€™s. Thatโ€™s according to the Property Manager and his right-hand man. But thatโ€™s not a certainty and they can expect to be notified of the venue right up until the week before they recommence.

And Iโ€™m agreeing with you itโ€™s fairly obvious whatโ€™s occurring with McCadam.

The poster is a [censored], needs to keep to his promise and leave.

The injury was caused by a teammate treading heavily on his foot at the camp. They had him running laps at those two sessions because they didnโ€™t realise the extent of the injury. He complained of a sore foot which became more painful after those running laps sessions.

The doc told me Bowser had a torn ligament in his foot and was to be operated on this afternoon, and that heโ€™d be looking at three or so months recovery. I donโ€™t know how these things work, ie. could the surgeon have discovered something different while he was operating?

Don't like the sound of that at all. @Pennant St Dee

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    Iโ€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonโ€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youโ€™d like to ask or say below and weโ€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youโ€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourneโ€™s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time atย Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
