MELBOURNE

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
