With the exception of Davey, I reckon all of those would be completely legitimate list management reasons anyway, even if you ignore the horrid T word. When you're not in the hunt for finals there is absolutely no point in giving players any less than the maximum amount of rest possible, especially the chronically injured such as McLean, Moloney and Grimes.

I wonder who will be the late out? The last couple of weeks we've had someone pull out at the last min. I hope It's Davey.

Out- Davey, Whelan, Bennel, Grimes

In- Sylvia, Mckenzie, Buckley, Bail, Mcnamara

I didnt include Morton but dont see how we can keep him out with the flu for two weeks.

I really need Moloney and Jamar back in for SC...

Sylvia and Morton in for Bennell and Whelan.

With this backline - Johnson (he ain't good enough in the ruck, at FF, at CHF), Jetta (learn to man-up someone), Macca (let kids play in the guts), Cheney (keep going, you're doing great), Rivers (give the others some level of cogency), Morton (key defense post), and Sylvia (QB role).

And this midfield - Dunn, Bate and Miller (for freedom purposes), Spencer and Martin (rucking), Valenti, Grimes and Petterd (for a majority of CB's). All rotating through and Sylvia and Davey making sporadic appearances.

And this forward line - Warnock and Frawley (to continue to give them a break from our backline), Jones (to learn to kick properly forward of centre), Bruce (get him out of the center so the kids can play there), Batram (more strings? A string), Newton (put it on his head), and Davey (people always complain he is not a FP anymore...).

As much as I would curse it, if we won at least it would be on the back of JG, RP, JS and the motley crue that is that forward line.

Swine (flu) :rolleyes:

The rush of soft-tissue injuries - calf, groin, quad - could be a concern, these injuries should be avoidable and it may mean we haven't got it right as far as preparation is concerned. On the other hand, it may just mean that some players are getting genuinely tired after a gruelling season.

It also seems to be coming out one by one about players who have battled OP, we only hear about it when they beat this injury & come good - we heard about Petterd this week, and we know about Sylvia, who else?

Seriously though, it would be a major concern of these avoidable types of injuries continued to be seen so often next year. Part of the reason for St Kilda's success this year is that they've virtually wiped out these injuries altogether.

Thats 20 players on our injury list, including Rookies and Veterans isn't the list only 44, that means we have 24 fit players, which includes Zomer and Hughes that are none elevated rookies and Bail that has played 1 game of VFL reserves in 4 weeks.

It's now official.

Whelan (plantar fascia) has been outed with every possible injury south of the jaw - it's also got to be one of the most specific listings of an injury I've seen.

which includes Zomer

Our secret weapon at FB? :lol:

I don't think we'll waste our money elevating anymore rookies for the sake of a couple of games.

There is still Bail and Buckley available for this week, and Robbo... although I don't want him out there trying to prove to us he can still go, kicking a bag against a weaker opponent. No thank you!

What happens if we don't have enough players to field a team?

A few teams have gone close in the past but no one has had that problem.

Hawkers fielded some Box Hill players in preseason, could Silvagni get a game and take our kick ins?

    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
