Anyone know the latest with these guys who must have question marks for round 1?

Rivers - Got injured in NAB 3. Wearing a knee brace last week, according to a training report here.

Grimes - Didn't participate in training last week, doing handball drills on boundary line. Missed NAB 4.

Frawley - Went off injured in NAB 4.

Joel MacDonald - A mystery. Was our best player in NAB 1. Missed NAB's 3 and 4 for no apparant reason. You'd think he would've played in all pre-season games to adjust to his new club. Must be injured.

Hopefully all these players have minor issues and will play against Hawthorn as they're all important players.

From Family Day, in a quick word at the stands they were at,

Grimes - spoken to him a few times in the past, assured me he was just rested as he was a bit sore from time in the middle and was sweet.

Frawley (sitting next to Grimes) - had a pressure bandage on his calf, asked him, assured me precaution, sweet as for Rd 1

Rivers - bouncing round on the Polaroid Photo stand sitting, standing, etc, didn't seem in any discomfort, told me he was sweet.

Joel Mac - a very quick word, said he was fine, end of conversation....

Can't speak about the other 3, but i had a great chat with Jack Grimes one on one at the family day and he said he did not pull up sore from NAB 3 as suggested. He was rested because he had played all 3 previous NAB games. This was the directive from coaching and medical staff. Also said he was "pumped" for round 1. Very down too earth good bloke!

Daz Dee's yes that was probably me paraphrasing for Jack Grimes, he probably said rested which I thought meant sore, the only concern I had about the uninjured players on the day was Matty Bate, he seemed very subdued, could be just a bit knackered from the game the day before.

especially if Sylvia somehow returns for round 1.

well don't hold your breath for that, 2 weeks for a broken jaw would be a miracle... but as you say, it's still not that bad... Bate, Bruce and Davey will all be there, so Morton and Jurrah are the only other ones that will truly be missed, perhaps Garland also, and it would be nice to have Watts out there. Still, could be a lot worse

They're saying he could return. He'd wear a helmet if he did though from what I've heard.

If it was up to Sylvia he'd probably play this week. I'd love to see him out there but we can't risk another broken jaw, hopefully the medico's make the right decision whatever that may be.

Rumour is young Trengove has a bit of an injury - nothing too serious and shouldn't stop him from round 1, contact your sources and figure that one out ladies and gents.

I heard he had a cork thigh which slowed him down in the match against the wiggles. He still played a good percentage of the game and has two weeks to recover.

    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
