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.

Well said ! Ok we may not win the majority of the tapouts, so then we shark it, and give the same effort as shown against the crows.

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.

EDIT: North are pretty tall and so are Essendon.

Well, time for Martin to shine.

Jamar, Spencer and I believe Fitzy too has an injury (did I read that right ?) Gawn may get a seniors gig at Casey, good luck to him. It situations like these that test clubs from time to time. And now it's time for Martin & Moloney to synergise.

Carlton are also tall. Or will be with Kreuzer returning soon.

I think this is all Bailey's fault. If he hadnt put grimes into the middle he wouldnt have got injured, if jamar hadn't been playin so much in the ruck then he wouldn't have got injured, if he hadn't made them go harder with their tackling then trengrove wouldn't have been suspended and if he had been playing Spencer in the seniors then he wouldn't have got injured in the twos.

He has to go now, it's all his fault!

Sounds right to me

I'm coming around to the majority opinion.

Sorry I've been so slow to see the light .....

Well we could call on both Martin and Newton, bit IMO we need some experience in there. Maybe we bring in Campbell, even if he's not 'matchfit', together with both Martin and Newton. We neeed at least one giant, plus we need that experience.. Yeah, thats the other thing, he's gone for a month. So we have to plan for that timeframe.

Martin or Juice?

or both?

Weird how we lose Jamar/Spencer/Fitzy in the same damn week. Our ruck stocks looked invincible.........realty bites.

Gawn isn't ready. They will call up Campbell before Gawn I would think.

Gawn Not ready. Martin and Newton will come in to cover for Jamar. Martin also as a defensive cover as Roos will go tall.

Agreed. In comes Martin and Newton to try to be flexible ruckman

The biggest thing I'm disappointed about is that this would've been an absolutely golden opportunity to see what big Jake is made of as first ruck. Not to be.

He looked good to me at Casey 10 or so days ago. Very raw still but was the most dominant ruckman on the ground for my mind. Four weeks in the ones would have done him the world of good

I still can't find any confirmation of this (checked AFL, MFC, newspapers, google etc)

that is strange as this is big news

There doesn't seem to be any confirmation out there as yet Daisy.....

That being said I doubt very much if Sheahan would announce something so important if he didn't have his facts right

This is another challenge. You just lost your AA ruckman who has meagre backup, and two of your best young kids.

The only thing you can take from it is that it opens a window for 3 other blokes.

Time for everyone to respond, again.

I'd play the 3 of them. Plonk Campbell in the forward pocket, to play deep, with 2 (5 minute) stints a Qtr in the ruck.

Play Martin as the 2nd ruck, can go back if needed. Play Newton from the Goal square roaming the forward half, and going 3rd man up around the place.

Jones in to the Mids to play a role. Bail back to the wing, or to Harvey. Bring in McDonald to the back flank..

I can't believe it.

We win after playing some great football, in a fantastic response to a terrible performance one week earlier.

Then...

Grimes does his navicular, out for the year.

Trengove cops a ridiculous suspension, out for three.

Spencer does his ACL, which didn't seem so bad, until Jamar did his PCL.

Brilliant.

I thought our non-existent injury list couldn't last for long :-(

all is not lost if we dont panic and we are smart. I think when you go in with a weaker ruck the pressure can come onto the more dominant ruck if you read their taps. Hawthorn have had weak rucks and historically have been able to combat that by basically following the opposition ruckman. Having Jamar did not help us against them.

Having said that, are we smart enough to rove to the opposition ?

another point, out investment in rucks stocks has not been too bad, with probably Gawn the one we have highest hopes for after Jamar. It's just now the timing is bad, but it was always a distinct possiblity Jamar could get injured and in the very game we did not take a second ruck....hmmmmm.

Stynes in for Jamar!!

:)

Article refers to Martin hurting his ribs. I'd say unless he's ruptured a kidney he'll be in!! I remember Dermy wearing that stupid vest for the Pies when he had same. Ended up ripping it off half way through game i think lol. Anyone got his number? :rolleyes:

Host of the Fox Footy clip referred to JT as Drac! DRACULA Trengove :lol: ... A real Demon of the night! Mwahaha!

    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
