Hellish injury start for Melbourne Demons

Not a bad article even if an edit is in order. It nailed the main points: The backs are good, the mids are getting better but the forwards are going to struggle unless the ball is constantly down there.

    Yeah mostly reasonable but their best 22 has no small defender - substitute Bennell for Garland at BP.

    Dunn for Morton (inj) on one wing, Garland for Jurrah (inj) at FF (which he was never going to hold down) and slot Petterd for Bennell's bench spot and you're about there.

    Does anyone know how we rank in terms of goals-inside 50 ratio?

    I remember hearing last year that we were up there. If our midfield improves the way we think it will and if Garland can make the transition from back to forward (if that's what Bailey intends) then perhaps all is not lost

    2009 - In terms of goals scored based on inside 50 entries - 25.2% of the time. We ranked 15th overall. North Melbourne were ranked lowest at 16th.

    He talks about how desperate the situation is to have blokes out there who can get some goals, then he puts Petterd, who has kicked 4 the last 2 weeks, in the emergencies... also left out Jones who would be automatic selection every week

    I'm as surprised as you about that. I remember a few games last year where we'd get it in like 6 times a quarter and score on every occasion.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
