And Rohan Bail should be lining up for Casey this weekend. Have emailed the club with a minor whinge that he should be on the injury list.

Matthew Whealan??

Did Cheney play at Casey last week?

Wheelan was limping after playing a half; not good.

Cheeney did not play.

Posted

Cheney isn't injured. He didn't play on the weekend because he was the nominated game-day emergency (i.e. if there was a last minute need for a late change, Cheney was on standby).

Where's Grimes? Is he fit now?

Yeah, he played for Casey last weekend despite not getting a mention in Peter German's report.

Im starting to feel sorry for "Wheels". He has been a fantastic player for the MFC. However the way Benell, Martin, Frawley, Warnock, Rivers, and Davey clicked on the weekend, It is going to be tuff to break into the back line. Throw in Cheney, Garland, Grimes just to name a few, to get in our back six is going to be the hardest spot to get if you are not 110% in the future.

UNfortunately I thinkolgreydingo is right , love the wrecker in full flight let's hope he can make it back this year

WE should keep him on as full time tackling coach if he can't make it back ,he is probably the best tackler i have ever seen done the red and blue

Thanks "Bates Mate" for your thoughts. I would love "Wheels" to be the "Little General" of the back line. Remember he is only 29. we do need experience, but were does he fit?

Posted

When he is up and going he is always in our best 22. In a back pocket. Problem is he hasn't been able to consistently stay on the park and unless something changes drastically soon I fear that he and the club may feel that his spot is better occupied by a draft pick.

He will be missed if he can't get going both for his physicality and the leadership he provides particularly for the indigenous boys,

Whelan has struggled to be continually fit for the past three years and his influence on the ground has waned. His birth certificate says 29 but his body is older than that and the soft tissue injuries are mounting.

I thought he would retire last year. I am certain he will this year. I dont think he is as big a loss now as last year.

BTW, a mate saw him in the crowd after the MFC game hobbling awkwardly. Hardly fit.

According to Peter German on the MFC web site

"Matthew Whelan (reserves) – He only played a half, as he's on restricted time. His half was a lot better than the week before. He's still a week or two away. "

I read somewhere that Wheels has done a quad last weekend, :( .

I'm sure I read on he <_< re someone mentioned they spoke with him after the game and he said he had done a quad..

Go Wheels!!

Where will Bell eeee fit in?

He will be playing midfield this year and could spend some time up forward. He will be returning this week via Casey.

Posted

i think we have seen the last of wheels, does anyone know his contract status?

Cheney, Bennell have taken his role as the small defender and with Rivers back he becomes the general down back

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
