Matthew Bate (ankle) test

Sam Blease (leg) 2-3 weeks

Cameron Bruce (hamstring) test

Jack Fitzpatrick (shoulder) 2-3 weeks

Max Gawn (knee) indefinite

Liam Jurrah (shoulder) 5-6 weeks

Stefan Martin (hip) 1 week

John Meesen (ankle) indefinite

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) season

Luke Tapscott (hip) 6-8 weeks

Good news for Brucey to come up as Test after Larkins' early prediction of 2-3. Ditto Bate being some chance of coming up.

Poor Sammy Blease still not getting a fair run at it. Important to remember just how much time is on his side though.

SUPER exciting to see some numbers alongside LJ now rather than the ugly Indefinite. Gives some genuine hope we'll see him in the last 5-6 games of the year.

not good news about blease. does anyone knows whats wrong ?

He did break his leg last year. Considering how much you run in AFL it's tough on your legs.

Don't worry, he'll hopefully break into the team this year if he's fit.

Absolutely thrilled by that list. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for our guys. Even if we don't see Gawn and Blease this year, they'll be nice and fresh for next year with a full preseason behind them. It will be great to see Jurrah back in the red and blue when we make our big charge and take a few prize scalps.

Almost at the midpoint of the season I think we can glean from this that

Meesen wont be back this year, his ankle must be absolutely stuffed so he'll be delisted which

is really disappointing for him not to of shown his best while with us.

Good to see Tapscott with some numbers against his name too

Disappointing that Gawn is still listed as indefinate as he has stated to several people that he would be back in 3/5 weeks from now.

Sam must have really broken that leg bad-(car accident Bad) He will be back as he is only young, but it will take time.

Remember Jason Snell (Geelong) Breaking Leg Bones in this sport is not good-But Sam just has to be patient & not over do his rehab/physiotherapy program.

At his age the bones are still fusing.together

Not to mention the fact that he injured his knee in TAC Cup Round 5 last year which means he's already been out for in excess of 12 months which is much longer than usual for an ACL.

Perhaps one's recovery time is in direct proportion to one's height. :) ?

I didn't see his injuring himself, but I suspect there's a bit of selection byplay going on.

My tips -

Bate out injured/ 1 week. > for Miller.

Bruce out injured/ 2-3 weeks. > for Joel Macdonald

Bennell out/ > for Jetta.

PJ out/ > for Newton - 1 week.

Poss? Sylvia out rested/ > for Gysberts...

We said the same thing about Blease last year and look how it has turned out.

Cant wait to see LJ back.

Spoke to Gawn at training last week, and he stated he would be ready to play in 4-5 weeks

Is Rohan Bail okay? Haven't seen or heard his name for a while. He was burning before he got injured and really offered us another hard running option.

Played VFL on the weekend here is the coach's review.

Rohan Bail - Kicks 7, Marks 2, Handballs 5, Tackles 3

Rohan got through his first game in three weeks. He came on and showed some of that trademark run that he’s got in his game. He set up some midfield connections and handball linkage and setup. He played around the wing and half forward, and a bit on the ball, and he got through, which is good. Hopefully he’ll build on that now.

He played for Casey on saturday - little impact according to the player review but good for the run...

He had nerve damage around the groin area so couldn't have been good!!

I'm real sorry to get personal, but i'm laid up in bed sick so my patience is a little thin.

If you haven't got anything to add, whats the point in posting?

To quote your interests........ aaaaDUUUUUHHHHH!! :rolleyes::blink::rolleyes:

That is all. Apologies again.

Not as silly as you put it. I think one's weight would definitely affect how long you are out of the game for. Hopefully whatever it is slowing him up they get it 100% right the first time around.

I'm interested in Blease's recovery. I don't know enough about what happens when you train on a old broken leg. I presume you get some pretty bad aching and a bit of inflammation can flare up again and this is probably what happened with Blease. So the management is probably more rest for a while to let it all work itself out.

Regarding Blease, rumour is the villian now resides on the North rookie list.

Good enough for me. If fit, Bail is an in. :)

    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

    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
