Anyone know what his injury is? I was interested to see that at about the 15 min of the 1st qtr he came off puffing, hands on knees, etc. Something obviously not right with him. Then the big injury - looked like he got shot.

    On MMM the Doc said he was complaining of shin soreness and pain in his toes. After a while the pain was just in his big toe and it was quite severe - he couldn't put weight on it. After the game they said "sprained foot".

    Broken foot is a bit premature!!

    I was watching on TV from Adelaide and it looked to me like he has torn ligaments on the inside of his left ankle....

    Foot bent under his ankle and having done this a few times myself, I would hesitate a guess and say 6-8 weeks....

    This on top of his shin splints would be pretty much it for the first half of the season!

    Krazy Jay - initially on MMM they were saying pretty much what you have suggested but after the Medicos spent some time looking at him (according to MMM so may not be 100% accurate) they said that it wasn't his shin or ankle.

    I guess we will have to wait and see

    Could possibly be a metatasal, my mate had pain in his big toe and it was from a broken metatasal.

    Either way it means that we are more screwed than ever.

    Can we ask the AFL if that fijian can train with us all year as we will be drafting him come years end.

    MFC site -

    It was initially feared he had broken a bone but Melbournefc football operations Manager Ross Monaghan announced tonight that the injury was not that serious.

    “Aaron had an MRI and x-rays today that have cleared him of any bone damage,” Monaghan said.

    “Aaron has a foot sprain with moderate ligament damage.”

    Davey will have further assessments tomorrow which should give a clearer indication of how many games he will miss.

    - Sun 30th @ ~7PM

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
