Jack Grimes (hamstring) - 2-3 weeks

Jordie Gysberts (back) - 2-4 weeks

Rhys Healey (hamstring) - test

Danny Hughes (ankle) - 3-4 weeks

John Meesen (foot) - season

Brent Moloney (corked thigh) - test

Michael Newton (quad) - 1 week

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) - season

Jake Spencer (back) - 2 weeks

Grimes and Gysberts have been out for some time and it would appear a few weeks to go.

They are obviously a lot worse than I thought.

This list suggests to me that there is probaly only one possible change

this week ( unless there are injuries that we have not heard about ).

I think Trengrove will come back via Casey, that leaves only Mcdonld as a possible inclusion.

My guess NO CHANGE!

    Trengove has been consistently in our bests throughout the year. Why would he be sent to the VFL for the first time after being rested?

    Unless I am mistaken he has been out for two weeks and he was suposedly injured.

    If there are no injuries from Sunday! who do you drop?

    I think ever player in last weeks team deserves to be in Brisbane.

    We know he can play and he will be back however guys like Maric need to be given a few games.

    We need to know if he has what it takes.

    Having said that he will probably get dropped for Trengove!

    Damn back and hamstring injuries, always seem to grow into at least 8 weeks on the sidelines. Disappointing & unlikely to see Gysberts or sadly, Grimes again this year.

    How did Jordan Gysberts go from test to 2-4 weeks?

    Good question I wondered the same thing myself!

    It would also appear Grimes is getting nowhere fast.

    Unfortunately "Demon Jack" I think you are probably correct.

    The up side is we seem to have a few to take their places,

    this time last year it would have been a tragedy.

    Hope Gysberts is only out for the two weeks as he needs to play 2 more games for Casey to be eligable to play in the VFL finals.

    I'd assume he has not made progress or even slipped backwards. May even be kept in cotton wool for season 2011, therefore not playing another game this year. This would be very sensible IMO.

    Sif Moloney would miss 2 weeks with a corked though!!! This is Brent Moloney we are talking about!!!

    His tweet from today read, "The leg's feeling better =) run/skills/weights/pilates/swim/hot colds/massage... pulled up well.

    McDonald and Trengove will come back in ... maybe Moloney. Might be stiff on some players, but those 3 have been consistently amongst our best/most solid.

    As we get better, these kind of selection "problems" will start to come with the territory. Mercifully we don't have to try and squeeze Grimes and Gysberts in as well ...

    Will be great to see how they back up after a big win.

  • Quote

    Whilst it may be disappointing if both McDonald and Moloney again do not make it into the final team by Saturday night... the team without them (and also without Grimes, Trengove, Petterd and Bate) smashed a top 8 side in Sydney by 73 points and were 91 points up halfway through the last quarter!

    We can do it without them. We have the "cattle". However, it could be the difference between 73 points and 100 points. :P

    The test showed his injury was worse than originally thought?

    It would be a shame to see Trengove's chances of winning the Rising Star Award damaged if he was being further rested just to keep looking at lesser players in the team. Plus I always want to see our best available side running out. None of this 'give him a run so we can have a look at him' rubbish. If they are good enough, any player will force their way into the team, or take their chances when injuries open up a spot.

    Maloney, McDonald, Trengrove all should come in if available as they are proven in our best 22. I would even suggest that throw in Green and Grimes and they almost make up our top 5 B&F. Warnock would be a chance to come in also after the job he did on Fevola last time (yes I know Fev kicked 4 goals but 3 of the 4 were cheapies).

    So making way for 3 players at least, unlucky, but Morton (tight Gabba ground won't suit him), Watts (not doing enough), Jones (looks to be needing a rest).

    Having said that, I cannot fault the match committee as they seem to be handling the team magnificently this year.

    I think that bringing back three players who have been out for a few weeks is dangerous. How do you drop someone from a side that just had one of there best wins ? I don't think you can. Maric is safe this week by the way.

    Would it surprise you that only 4 players (green.davey,jamar jones)have played everygame this year

    I read in one of those "ladders with the lot" that we've used 38 players this season which I think is the equal highest

    Good to see that Strauss is not on the injury list. He's almost been the forgotten player this year along with Martin. I hope he gets a game this sunday with Casey.

    Can't agree. We didn't pick up a player at pick 4 to only play him at certain grounds. No way Morton will be dropped again this year.

    Rubbish.

    Trengove and Moloney have missed two weeks with minor injuries. Junior played last week at Casey and had 20+ possessions.

    Its dangerous to leave out your inspirational captain, your leading midfielder and possible rising star award winner for good reason. If they are all fit then they should play.

    Its a fantasy to say you cant drop someone after a good win. Its bollocks.Bail, Maric and Johnson are players who could be in the gun if the above three are fit.

    Makes sense. But like all players Morton needs to sing for his supper.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
