He'd be a test.

Heard Connolly on Fox Sports News re: Sylvia, said he could be out as of Thursday, don't do the main session until Friday, don't play until Monday, "we'll make a decision later in the week"...so they will see what transpires.

While it is great to see Jurrah and Tapscott with 3 and 4 next to their name, do we really think they will be playing senior footy this year? You would think it would take LJ at least 2 in the reserves to get back in to it, Tappy may need 3 or 4, plus they have to perform at this level also.

Excited about seeing Gawn being 5 weeks away. Will be great to start reading reports about his progress through the Casey 2's for a start. Highly unlikely to get a MFC call up this year, but will be good to see if he can work his way in to the Casey 1's team before seasons end.

I think they will be given every chance billy. I recall in 2008, apart from yours truly (there may have been one other poster), no one gave Grimes a chance to get a taste before seasons end. Six weeks out from seasons end I said if JG gets a few games under his belt at Sandy seniors and is fit and he's form holds, why not play him in Rd 21 or 22 just for a taste before getting stuck into a pre-season a month later. Had no admirers at the time, but the rest is history, he debuted in Rd 22.

Of course, different set of circumstances now where Tapscott & Jurrah will more than likely have more weeks up their sleeve at Casey first and foremost. The FD will make absolutely sure they will be right to go, then it will depend upon form. They will be eased in, in terms of game time and then it will be ramped up, much like Watts' preparation. Then it will come down to earning a call up. I think they are both most capable of doing so this year. Let us see.

Could it be possible that Jurrah has a better conditioning level due to the nature of his injury?? Maybe wishful thinking on my part?!

Can't wait to see Jurrah again as well as Tapscott.....his highlights on You Tube are exciting enough, it really is like watching a Paul Chapman clone...if he can convert that to AFL level, we have a ripper on our hands!!

More excitement to come in the 2nd half of the year.

Blease at 2 weeks, Jurrah at 3 and Tapscott at 4 are nice signs.

Blease has been stuck on 2 weeks for a number of weeks now. Worrying signs that he just cant get it right. Fingers crossed he gets a good run during the second half of the year.

Given the amount of football Blease has missed and the potential lack of fitness, he will only be playing at Casey in round 14 and may have to build his fitness with a couple of 2 quarter matches. He would really have to perform at Casey to be AFL ready by Round 22.

Guys what is the situation with Meeson?

He has been "indefinite" for close to a year now!

What is his ankle injury? did his foot fall off?

1 year out and still no sign of him getting back seems strange.

Those numbers all sound very reasonable. But that would see Jurrah particularly, who has senior experience, ready for a call up around Round 17-18. Tapscott having not played would be more of a Jack Grimes potential situation where we give him a look Round 21-22. That would give him 2 weeks in Casey 2s and 4 weeks in Casey 1s.

Put it this way, if John Meesen was a horse, they'd have pulled out the screen and 12-gauge long ago.

His career is over.

As at the morning of the QB game this is the scenario:

James Frawley (back) test selected MFC

Nathan Jones (hamstring) test selected MFC

James McDonald (hamstring) test - out

Sam Blease (leg) 2 weeks - out

Liam Jurrah (shoulder) 3 weeks - out

Jake Spencer (knee) 3 weeks - out

Rohan Bail (cheekbone) 3-4 weeks - out

Luke Tapscott (hip) 4 weeks - out

Max Gawn (knee) 5 weeks - out

John Meesen (ankle) indefinite - out

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) season - out

Not on injury list but out

Colin Sylvia - out

Michael Newton - out

Stefan Martin - out

Rhys Healey - out

My question is - who puts together the club's injury list and why?

If we as expected are not in finals contention come round 22 and Blease has had some Casey time I would not be suprised to see him given a taste similar to Grimes in 2008.

Yep. One of Meesen's friends posted last year when he first got injured saying that John thought his career was over because of this injury. I thought it may have just been hysteria at the time, but it appears to be on the money now.

    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

    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.
