Davey out for the season

Featured Replies

Posted
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.

We figured out how this game is played a year too late.

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.

[censored] you are Right!!! I hadn't thought of that!!! Can you imagine how Feral that mob will be when they Finish 9th Again-Bloody Brilliant,can't wait.. But i want to get KB Drunk one night on Absynthe-Do him Good!!!!

Correct.

I would even play Weetra in the ruck before Meesen!

Fine by me.


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!
Correct.

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

Nothing rotten with that idea Johnny.

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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
