Walking around in the rooms - according to SEN

said the same on Fox which is good news, hopefully he can come back in the 2nd half... Chip is injured too, if both miss next week we're all of a sudden struggling down back, with Garland, Rivers, Frawley out...

lets hope they both come up okay...

Maybe a bad sprain? They were pulling down on the ankle as you do with a sprain or break on the stretcher? If it's a nasty sprain, I'd take that.... Just have to trade him out this week. :)

I'll cross my fingers and hope that Rivers doesn't - they'd probably sprain.

Poor bugger. At least all the reports so far have been that it's not as bad as it looked and might only be a relatively minor injury.

Lets hope so, otherwise if we were to be missing Rivers, Frawley and Garland all next week they'd need to look at including someone like Bell as the 3rd tall. Lets hope bad sprain and a possability to return next week.

Ah yes I did forget, McNanara's about 189-190cm isn't he? Is he physically able to play tall, or not quiet there yet?

He's more a medium sized defender, and I'd say he'd replace Frawley in taking the best mid-sized forward.

Will be interesting to see if he gets a game, and if he does, how he'll play. Probably a perfect week for him to play, given the Dogs have a wide range of medium forwards.

He seems the obvious replacement, coming off the back of a few good games for Casey so it wouldn't be like we are throwing him in at the deep end.

Poor old Riv! Geez this guy just can't take a break! He's just so damn courageous... :wub:

Fingers-crossed he's alright and doesn't miss a lot of football. Maybe a week off next week if its not too serious, IMO he was starting to look a bit tired. If its not a bad injury a week off wouldn't hurt. I just hope its not 4 or more weeks out!!!

A very good opportunity for McNamara to come in and show us what he's got. He was probably on the cusp of selection anyway, so it'll be a good test for him.

And one step closer to the Buthcer / Scully double! ;)

That was my first thought too. With a few defenders out, this is a good time for McNamara to come in.

Soon as he went down, I thought of Jaded's tracker.

Oh me too......not sure what that says about us ;) !!!

And add me to the ever growing list of folk who think that this might be McNamara's time to debut.

Most likely ankle...hope it's not a break.

Does anyone know if it's the same ankle he did in the intra-club match during the preseason?

EDIT: DemonDave just confirmed yes it was the same ankle, the left one, in another thread. Cheers

I couldn't see what the injury was until I studied the replay over & over again then I noticed an inoccuous clash of legs, oncoming players shin hit rivers inside right ankle just above the joint. This is what I believe the concern & conjecture of a possible broken leg was all about. He might be lucky.

Does anybody know how long RIVERS will be out, not too sure whether to trade him from my SuperCoach team?

Not sure how accurate it is but the AFL injury list has Rivers as only 1 week. Frawley listed as 2 weeks. Promising if true.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
