If I believed that I'd quit.

Often footballers are the last to recognise or admit that neither their bodies or their form is able to be sustained at AFL.

No much how he tries, Whelan's body has been failing his best intentions over the past couple of years.

I reckon this is Wheels last year.

With all due respect it ought to have been Wheels last season...last year...Im not going to linger too long on the note that some of us here said all this last year...and got shouted down for it. Its not because he isnt a good player ..but is one of those who wil be unavailable far more than he is... its just not good sense to develop a team on this kind of standing.

Seriously..someone else ought to be racking up game time and taking his money. Dont like that thinking..tough..lifes like that !!

Oh God, this is all too much. Rhino, tell me you're trolling!

Well Grimes is skillful, classy, top bloke, attacks it hard, fairly attractive and injury prone - HT, he seems to cover my bases but, but, I just can't think about it!

Loges, Aussie was getting back into it but reinjured his hamstring.

Edit: Bub, you're a cruel, cruel, beautiful man

A bit of a different diagnosis from the afl site......

MELBOURNE

Simon Buckley (groin) - 1 week

Jack Grimes (back) - 1-2 weeks

Daniel Bell (thumb) - 2 weeks

Austin Wonaeamirri (hamstring) - 2 weeks

Mark Jamar (foot) - 5 weeks

Paul Wheatley (quad) - 6 weeks

Colin Garland (foot) - indefinite

Wheatley seems to be in a bit of trouble and no mention of Whelan.

Why? :huh:

Wheels has a history of soft tissue injuries through out his career. They have mounted up in the past 3 to 4 years. I think he is finished.

Isnt Grimes problem a back injury? If so its not a soft tissue injury and has different ramifications for the future.

Wheels is a favourite. One of the hardest players to pull on the red and the blue. But he is 29 and has played only 140 games in 9 seasons which means he has missed 58 games at a average of 6 and half a year. And thats not including finals. And none would have been through form. Played only 5 games in 2007 and 12 games in 2008.

This is it isnt it. When you peel away the sentiment and look at it in cold hard reality there isnt a lot of upside going forward for Matt..a sad but real appraisal. The list, and indeed all things MFC must be driven by real outcomes and expectations....about what is progressive and not just marking time. There will be casualties in this, but its about the team not individuals per se.

Forgive me if there is somewhere on the site where this shows up, I am fairly new to Demonland, but is it possible to keep a thread going that regularly updates injuries and likely return times. Players like Aussie and Jack G must be getting close to a return at some level and reading the various reports from the weekend several players have returned to the available list recently. The players that seem to be injured at the moment are:

Junior,

Russian,

Grimes,

Wheatley,

Bail??

Aussie

Players that seem to be back playing at different levels are:

Robbo,

Strauss,

Wrecker,

MacNamara,

Maric,

Can anyone update this list? it would be great to see these guys placing a bit of selection pressure on the current senior 22

It's a good idea in theory but we would struggle with a source. The Melbourne website updates the injury list infrequently so an injury list thread would probably be largely speculative unless someone from the club could update it weekly.

Every Wednesday, the AFL sends out an injury list for all clubs to the media. It is not always reliable ..but it is some sort of benchmark.

Last week - we had 9 listed as injured or requiring a fitness test - which gave us the longest list in the AFL - AGAIN! From memory the list was Bell,Grimes,Buckley,Robbo,Wheatley, Whelan,Jamar, Strauss and Garland . Junior wasn't included. Add Watts and Blease to that list - and we have a heck of a lot of youthful potential off the field. The question is why are we always so susceptible to injury?

Oops I missed Aussie?..maybe it was 10?

Because we can' afford to pay for the same technology/sports sience initiatives as the other clubs. Plus we are cursed!!!

A source would be hard to come by. In turn, I have heard a lot of different things about players like Jamar and Robbo from different websites and news.

I know for a fact that mfc do not spend as much on medical resources ,physios,MRI scans etc as other clubs,not the only reason we have the longest injury list in the afl over the past few years but it is a big factor

Eventually, I think the reason we are so suspectable to injury is playing form. We have had a bad run of injuries which have affected us over the last few years, but I think that some clubs are in a similar situation, even in form clubs like Hawthorn and Geelong. But on the topic of better facilities and staff, if you look at Collingwood's injury list they have much shorter numbers.

    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.
