Morton appears to be coming along well. Or will he get stuck in the 3-4 week vortex like Austin W did for 15 weeks last year. let's hope not.

If Jack Watts is fit, he needs to play. We need something!

Blease could be interesting, I look forward to seeing him play when he is ready

PJ can take Spencers spot, have to say it but PJ is in our best team at the moment.

Sylvia will play.

Jack told me he played a shocker at the weekend. I do agree he should also play this weekend, I just wish it was on form and not out desperation.

I don't think he should come straight in at all. Give him time to get some touch back after his injury.

I'd also rather not witness the 'Watts comes in for Pies (thrashing) clash' again.

Watts had an ordinary game on the weekend, but from what I have been told from inside our club it was far from a shocker. Further it was only his 3rd and 4th quarter of football in 10 months compounded with a very limited preseason.

Jack is on track for the seniors call up in round 4 or round 5 depending on his form in Casey over the next couple of weeks.

Of course the club will say he didn't have a shocker, I am simply quoting the man himself. Round 4 is his target for a seniors call up.

When did PJ become such a bad player?

PJ's 2008 form was very good, looked to be coming on as a player. showed in more than couple of matchs, that he was capible of dominating play.

From what i remeber, at the end of 2008 season, he went in for surgury.

What went wroung? he has never returned to the PJ of 2008, why? was it the injury sustained in 2008? will he ever be back to 2008 form?

Playing Jack Watts might be best for the team's chances, but is it best for Jack Watts?

I'm not offering an opinion on that question either way, but I do want to ensure that the decision is best for the long term interests of Jack rather than the short term interests of the side.

Agree. He is only up to 50% game time at Casey anyway. He is well short of a gallop. Gotch has stated that he may look to have Watts play 70% game time this week and more the following to regain touch.

What is the use of rushing him in underdone, when he is clearly not yet ready ? May as well play 22 fit blokes. It's not as if we need him in asap to secure a finals spot this season. Clearly.

As globalturf stated, it's more than likely he will come in when ready, perhaps Round 4. When right.

When do Casey play next and against whom? Very much looking forward to seeing Tapscott play this year.Any guesses as to when he might be available?

I was at Junction Oval last Friday, spoke to both Daniel Bell and Cale Morton as they 'walked' laps, Cale said he was progressing well and looking at 4 weeks before back in full training and I told Daniel Bell to stop walking under ladders, he replied that he prefers to break mirrors.

Col Garland trained with the non selected group and looked fine, did everything without any signs of discomfort.

Watts looked in really good nick, I rhink he is sick of the hype and wants to keep a lid on everything....just wants to play

Forgot other bits, spoke to both Nev Jetta Aussie and Col Sylvia whilst they had a break from the rehab group.

Col Sylvia tried to convince them to let him play last Saturday, but caution was the word, he trained for about two hours solid, he did the rehab group and then joined th non selected group.

Aussie is having tests, they think it is back related, he is fine when running , it is when he is tackling that he does the hammy, getting there and has his chin up, just wants to play

Nev Jetta does not have OP, rehab staff are looking at more strengthening of his core, again being cautious.

Max Gawn is also up and running, he has a program to follow which he was doing diligently, he is also bigger already, looks like a small mountain when he is on the move.

Fitzpatrick was doing laps, told to take the week off, still going so again the rehab staff are treating him cautiously.

Luke Tapscott did a bit of walking.

PJ trained with the non selected group

No sign of Jurrah, Meesen think that just about covers it

PJ was interviewed in the Hassett Room after Saturday's game. He said that the medicos had found that the foot injury that he suffered in 2008 had not healed properly, and his most recent surgery was to correct that problem. It seems that he was 'playing injured' for all of 2009, and it is fair to say this may be the reason that his form went backwards. Hopefully he can progress from where he left off in 2008 when he returns this year.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
