Watts will do no such thing.

Dunn can keep pinch hitting.

Martin will have the time of life - he has resurrected his career and now he gets a few weeks to develop some form.

Injuries happen, Jamar can do without his PCL (no Jeff White in the jumping stakes) and hopefully this doesn't happen two years from now.

rpfc; I love your blend of optimism and realism. It is very refreshing.

This was going to be a tough month of footy in any case, so now it will really test our resolve without Jamar, Trengove, Scully, and Grimes.

Glass half full - time for some JUICE!!!....

We really are farrrrked for the next month

I'm sorry but that's glass half empty if you go by previous form.

Time for Martin to shine. I'm a believer!

The wrist slashing here is absolutely unbelievable. Get a grip.

True, but lets be honest not the best 24hours we've ever had.......

I just think it makes things interesting :-)

Only if you've thrown this season away and no longer have any expectations of finals/mild success, which is ironically what you laughed at people for doing.

There is nothing interesting in losing our best players to injuries/suspensions when we're not trying to tank. It's shithouse and no amount of spin will change that.

We've had a good win on the weekend and it means absolutely nothing now because we came out of it without 3 of our best 18 players.

A bit more than interesting losing our sole ruck man and arguably most important player. On the same day as Trengove getting served a very dubious 3 week suspension.

A day after losing Jack Grimes for the season together with Jake Spencer.

Disappointing 48 hours after such a great high on Sunday. I think it makes things suck.

its definately a bit of a shake up, i knew we were in trouble when someone posted along the lines of

"after this week looks like it will only be scully on our injury list"

rough but interesting to see how we go about it, we may be able to work out of it i think.....

probs go with martin, newton, and then dunn and sylvia and watts do their bits!

rough week, but hoping we are up to it

at least we'll have some ripping excuses when we get done the next two weeks!

I had pegged us in to win 8 more games for the season, including the next two. This could be much tougher now.

On the up side, defintley a big chance for some others to step up - Martin in the ruck, Newton gets an extended run, Bate won't get dropped, Gawn might get a run in casey 1s as no. 1 ruck, and some others have to step up to cover grimes and trenners.

Even I will conceed this is not Fair on Bailey

I feel Ill

Maybe we should put a advert in the HUN

Wanted Players who can Ruck Defend and Play Forward

Please apply MFC limited tenure provided

Above award wages available

Fringe Benefits provided

No Insurance cover however is possible

Even if we could get insurance they would proberbly reject any claim because they would say any Foot or Knee injury incured wouldnt be covered because it didnt fit the policy due to how it was incured

some dont see it that way.

I agree, this sucks. But fingers crossed they come out against North with some ferocity and eat them alive. Maybe even see Tappscott kick a goal from the centre square :)

Are you kidding??!?!? This is going to make it really really hard for us to win the 2011 flag now!

That's the spirit MM. Big Jimma will regard these setbacks as an important challenge for our players and coaching staff, and I reckon we should all take a leaf out of that book. If we continue to play in the vein of last Sunday the next month has some winnable games.

We are not going to win the flag in 2011 so let's keep the razor blades for when we are a chance for top 4, hmm?

Perspective is a wonderful thing.

Anyone else wondering why the sole sauce on this is M.Sheehan? Whispering Jack - can we ban him from the media/universe if this is BS?

Well, we're not going to NOW, are we??

Honestly, I wonder how long it will take the neanderthals to ignore these major setbacks and start calling for Bailey's head again?

I, like Nasher, actually think this just adds an extra point of interest.

I'm really quite excited to see how we set up and how we respond.

I'd love to see Gawn play.

Wow, terrible. I've said he's our most important, because aside from him our ruck stocks are pretty poor.

Terrible timing for Spencer, who presumably would have had a crack at the big time.

We'd want to see Campbell come into the side ASAP, but we might need to go with Martin and Newton for now.

Oh [censored]!!!!!!!!! Any chance Juice knows anything about ruck work?

Newton rucked a fair bit at Casey last year and has been picked as a second ruck for us before. I think Martin and Newton both h ave potential as a second stringer, but I don't think that we would have ever intended either to play as numero uno.

EDIT: North are pretty tall and so are Essendon.

    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
