So was Carroll dropped at all or was it injury the whole time?

Ricky Petterd seems a likely player too but where are Wheels, Yze and Holland?

We are carrying a lot of baggage that just aren't even getting a look in at getting a game ... (but don't include Wheels or Wheats)

Rivers please don't turn into a James Hird ... do some searching, take drugs, hormones ... anything I don't care if its illegal lol just get out on the park ... drugged to the hilt with morphine and you would still be irreplaceable.

I work very close to the Junction Oval, on the way home tonight Melb was training and Carroll was walking laps by himself, must have been injuried and the way he was walking he isn't playing for a couple of weeks.

Wheels, Yze and Holland all played for Sandringham against the Tassie Devils.

If he does what you're suggesting, he'll have a short career. Let's hope he passes his test this week as we could do with both him and Sylvia back in the side.

Ricky = 426

The curse continues.

Rivers better be fit for this week, or Franklin will break the all time record for most goals kicked by an individual player in a single game!

Two promising players whose development has somewhat been stalled due to injuries. Not fair.

Can someone clarify for me: now that Neitz has retired, does Wonaeamirri get to stay on the senior list for the remainder of the year? May be a dumb question but I've heard conflicting answers.

Aussie came off the rookie list and onto the senior list to replace Jack Grimes when he went onto the long term injury list.

Shane Valenti came off the rookie list as a result of Neita's placement on the LTI list. Doesn't that mean that when Grimes comes back from injury in a couple of weeks' time that Aussie has to go back on the rookie list?

Is it possible to interchange upgraded rookies?

Yeah that's what I was thinking...swap Aussie to be Neita's replacement so Valenti goes back when Grimes comes in? No offence Valenti, but to lose Aussie now would just make this season all the more awful. Is Grimes even close to coming back?

We can do what St Kilda has done and instead of retiring someone we put the on the long term injury list. Holland or Yze would be the best picks, but by promoting Valenti, I don't think the club expects Grimes to be fit this year.

I think Holland or Yze would have to have a real injury for that happen as Fraser Gehrig does.

I think that you will find that the club can nominate which rookie goes back when Grimes come good. Note that the club did not promote Valenti until they were pretty positive that Nietz would not play again, thus preserving a permanent place for Wonaeamirri.

I hope so. It would make sense though - imagine if Neitz hadn't been on the LTI, and had retired spontaneously. Then the club would have had the choice over any rookie to promote, right? So in effect Melbourne is just choosing any of the 4 rookies to get a spot on the senior list. Well that's the way I hope it is.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
