The bottom-placed club also received an off-field blow, with the news that agile forward Aaron Davey and athletic big man Paul Johnson would miss the rest of the season due to injury.

Davey missed last Friday night's huge loss to Geelong with a bruised heel, but X-rays have since indicated he also has a stress fracture, wiping him out for the remaining three rounds.

Johnson will have surgery on an injured hip early next week.

Its sad to think what happens at the end of the season now. These Games Become a Joke-West Coke are Playing Half a side, so are we. WAKE UP AFL and give some incentive to Bottom clubs to play out a full season. People Pay Good Money For a Season Membership, not 12 Games. The Draft System is so wrong. I don't understand how HQ can leave it the way it is year after year. Beyond me

It's actually all part of an elaborate conspiracy to prevent Richmond from ever winning a Premiership. See, if 9th place got the number 1 pick, Richmond would have a team full of top 3 draft picks and would power to the flag. But you're right, the system needs to be changed.

The season ending injury list is expanding at a great rate. Here's our official list -

  • Daniel Bell (hamstring) - test
  • Aaron Davey (heel stress fracture) - season
  • Colin Garland (hamstring) - 1 week
  • Jared Rivers (abdominals/groin) - season
  • Paul Johnson (hip) - season
  • Brock McLean (ankle) - season
  • Brad Miller (hamstring) - test
  • Brent Moloney (shoulder) - season
  • David Neitz (neck) - retired
  • Russell Robertson (Achilles) - season
The smart thing to do at this stage of the season is not to bring back any of those hamstring injuries too early. If we remember back to last year, we brought players back too early and, in the end, we were severely embarassed in the pre season with too many players not coming up right even after several extra months of recuperation. As a result, a lot of our players were never 100% and we had a shocking start to this season and never recovered.

We can't afford that next year, so give the boys time to heal properly before throwing them into battle.

My motto for this week at least is:

Don't test - rest!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

The AFL might be reading, and knowing our luck, this year would be the year they launch a new initiative!

Take our number 1 draft pick + Priority and leave quietly.

Hush now

No thanks - no point gifting him a gig.

Better off rookie promoting Spencer if you're desperate for a new ruck debut.

I agree, Spencer was in the best. He's pretty enthusiastic. Let's take a look at him.

Hehe They won't change it this year. We will score well this year hopefully (Fingers & Toes crossed) It's just that i grew up watching Footy when the wooden spoon was just so not done. Bottom teams had epic Battles at this time of year. I want that Back again. But Fuhrer Demetrio just doesn't care. He is Just like KB (never Wrong)

Meesen is out of sorts.

Indeed - the reason I suggested that Spencer would be a better bet than Meesen if we were desperate to debut a ruckman... :)

Jamar and PJ are first-choice, with White to play if we've decided PJ's already done.

The MFC went Hard for Meeson Last year. Play Him on Saturday against Cox on the G. See where he's at. Give him a challenge. We are already on a hiding to nothing. Draft day is our next big on field assignment.

If Meeson plays well, his next Pre-season will be done with so much more confidence.

    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
