From the Melbourne website...

"MELBOURNE has just four players on its injury list, although Tom Scully could be the only listed Demon not playing by the weekend.

Scully is still five weeks away from returning from a knee injury, sustained in the pre-season.

But ruckman Robert Campbell (achilles) and midfielder Jordie McKenzie (groin) are chances to make their first appearances for the season, pending fitness tests.

Sam Blease must also pass a test, after he suffered concussion playing for Casey last round against Frankston."

Melbourne injury list: round seven

Sam Blease (concussion) - test

Robert Campbell (achilles) - test

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - test

Tom Scully (knee) - 5 weeks

That injury list tells me something. We need to have a good hard look at ourselves. We have pretty much a full list to choose from with only Scully out of the best 22 (i like Jordie McKenzie but everyone on here suggesting he is going to be the saviour is kidding themselves)

When did anyone suggest that?

We're 17th in tackles, so I believe putting our best tackler back into the team will help some.

He will make Nathan zero-tackles Jones and his lazy team mates try a bit harder too.

What happened to James Strauss? Didn't play on the weekend and not on injury list?

Good question.

Excuse me for being sceptical but if we were traveling well would Mckenzie and Campbell still

be "2 weeks"

I cannot see Mckenzie playing for at least a couple of weeks.

He has no match play for over two months which effectively means a low preseason effort.

I will still be surprised if we see him this side of June.

And then perhaps as a sub.

Campbell is a rookie and won't come in unless there is another long term injury.

So the improvement for me is Mckenzie some time in July.

However I have been wrong before!

Yes it does DC.

Some days you are my bright spot.

Thanks for another one.

Agree with Geddy Lee, when did anyone refer to him as the saviour ?

its a damning commnetary on our team that should you take out this bloke or that then we suddenly seem incapable of tackling , shepherding etc etc. Are we that reliant on so few. If so this is the crux of our horror

Highly doubtful we'll get any decent football out of Jordie till at least mid-June. Look at Frawley, Brian Lake, etc for quality players without a pre-season coming in and struggling...

This ^. Of course Jordie's not the savior but it just so happens that his best skill - tackling (and general aggressiveness at the ball & man) - is probably what we're lacking the most at the moment.

I love the guy and can't wait until he returns. Reading that he might be available gave the first "yessssss" moment since Thursday. As far as I'm concerned he's back in at the instant that he can play out a match, and I don't care if he takes a while to find form; he can do that in the seniors.

Add James Frawley, clearly playing injured.

well its not clear or obvious (as another poster said) to me

all thats clear is he is not playing well

its possible he is playing injured but not clear or obvious

its more likely he is not fully fit after an incomplete preseason

there again as most of the team are insipid it might be something in the water at aami?

Too funny BZ :lol: Unfortunately that's closer to the truth than i care to admit. Hoping this looming cacoon of horror fades away with a big turnaround in the next 8 weeks :rolleyes:

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - test

Tom Scully (knee) - 5 weeks

When was Tom Scully's injury increased from a 4 week injury to a 6 week injury? I could swear that was a week before Easter ... so why is he still listed 5 weeks away?

After talking today to a colleague who knows the Scully family, I have a bad feeling about where he is at.

I know we don't want to start up again on the GWS scenario, but the word is he has signed with them, and now this extension of his unavailability looks suspicious.

Maybe he won't play another game with us.

If that happens what do we get in return? Another # 1 draft pick?

I dropped into training today, the only player missing was Scully; nowhere to be seen

Is he also the only player on our injury list?

If that was true the club would have placed him on the long term injury list so they could promote another rookie.

    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
