MELBOURNE

James McDonald (hamstring) - available

Austin Wonaeamirri (hamstring) - test

Rohan Bail (knee) - test

Daniel Bell (broken thumb) - test

Simon Buckley (groin) - test

James Strauss (shoulder) - 2 weeks

Mark Jamar (foot stress fracture) - 3 weeks

Paul Wheatley (quad) - 4 weeks

Brad Green (fractured jaw) - 4-6 weeks

Colin Garland (foot) - indefinite

That is only 5 players which are injuried which means we have a pretty fit list. Although on that list we need Brad Green and we can back up for Wheatley,Garland and Jamar even though they are good players. So you can see Bailey I think has created a bit more depth in our list. Well at least in the backline.

Depth is not the issue. Its developing quality and hopefully developing some stars. The gap between our best 5 and those in the 26 to 30 category is too close. There is not much gap at all between 16th and 30th on our list. We need to develop A graders.

Matthew Whelan??

Did Cheney play at Casey last week?

Cheney didn't play for Casey but isn't injured. He was the designated emergency not to play for Casey in case of a late withdraw for Melbourne according to K. O'Donnell. Expect to see Cheney playing for Casey this week.

I love Whelan and want him back in the side but will be difficult for him. Bartram, Cheney and Bennell are all competing against him for his position as the small defender.

Yes I know that, but although in 2006 I noticed when we lost Pickett,Johnstone and Davey we lost to Carlton and had a late season slump, and we missed the 4. So depth can be important no matter where you are on the ladder. But I am aware of the need to develop A grade players. I just want a star that will become a champion, because I`m so sick of hearing Melbourne have no Champions, which is partly true at the moment. I tell people David Neitz was a champion, but they say "Yeah right, only kicked 631 goals, useless like the rest of the team."

MELBOURNE:

Average number of players missing per round: 12

Total number of matches missed by listed players: 46

Although external expectations were not high for Melbourne this year, the Demons have again had to deal with injury woes after a healthy list pre-season. Only Hawthorn and the Swans have had more players miss matches so far.

As bad as that sounds its also possitive in the way

that we have more young tallent to come into the side.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin
