With all clubs enforced to have a week off before the season, clubs can ask for special dispensation for players that have played minimal matches, coming back from injury, etc to be allowed to play this weekend.

Who would the Demons request?

I would have thought Sylvia, perhaps Buckley but most others have played, so.....

I wouldn't have thought 'special dispensation' includes missing football because you were suspended for being a [censored]?

Agree that Buckley definetly needs another run, his skills were woeful on Saturday.

Perhaps Grimes to although I have no idea why he missed the last 2 weeks.

Wona would be a definite...

Maric (if fit and training ok)? And the rookies (Healey, McKenzie, Zomer..) perhaps?

That sounds about right, maybe a few others depending on how the fitness team assesses them. With Wona I would look at half a game max, he looked ultra fit and perhaps was previously overdone. If he looks underdone (and could benefit from more game time) then give him the whole game but if he looks sharp in the first half then that is all he needs IMO or we risk injury to a key player in a nothing match. Someone else mentioned Buckley who I can understand needing another game under the belt too.

I think, but I'm not certain, that the only AFL players who can get the special dispensation to play VFL this week are those who are returning from injury. I don't think they can play just because the AFL club wants to get more game time into them or their skills need a bit of honing.

Casey Fields this Saturday - Reserves at 11:10am and Seniors at 2:00pm. Practice match against Box Hill.

I believe that eligibility for this week depends on whether the player in question has missed game time through injury. That would allow Rivers to play but not Sylvia. The rookies can play.

Jared Rivers heads the list of five senior list Demons with permission to play for Casey Scorpions against Box Hill on Saturday at Casey Fields. Joining him will be Austin Wonaeamirri, Paul Johnson, Addam Maric and Liam Jurrah plus four rookies.

I'm surprised that Jack Grimes isn't on the list after missing the past two NAB Challenge games.

Today's HUN has a small article saying Grimes has a back injury and won't be available for round 1. Apparently it's not the same problem that he had with his back last year.

Bugger!

Demons with permission to play for Casey Scorpions against Box Hill on Saturday at Casey Fields - Liam Jurrah

This alone adds a lot of interest to the game, just about makes the long trek worth it to see LJ for the 1st time!

Shame about grimes

Could Jurrah be a chance to play a half or so this week? Apparently is training very well, and 'lit up the track' last week...

He will be making his debut this saturday for Casey. This will be the first time any of his coaches have seen him play a game. Expect something special.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
