    When did Bell break his thumb?

    They still don't know when Wonaeamirri will be back, hope it's only 2 weeks or something.

    But Yze_Magic has a point, I don't think Bell has a spot in the team anymore.

    Maybe he should go on the same program as Watts and Blease this year, to get his body tuned in better

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
