Davey out for the season

Rogue
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    lets throw a dice, bring meeson in for pj, you never know

    No thanks - no point gifting him a gig.

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

    exactly what rogue said

    spencer has shown more and now that davey could be considered a LTM (same with PJ) we could promote spence

    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.

    Correct.

    I would even play Weetra in the ruck before Meesen!

    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!

    Let's just settle this argument by playing both of them.

    You should both be punished for such terrible jokes.

    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

    If Weetra and Meesen both play, we will probably be banned from the draft...and rightfully so

    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)

    Too early IMO - he's barely played as a #1 ruck at Sandy 1s.

    Meesen is out of sorts.

    So who would you play? Jamar and White? Or White and Meesen? Or Jamar and Meesen?

    Or White and Weetra? :lol:

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
