The weeks go by slowly for Tom Scully. Every week in which he is injured takes three or four* and I'm wondering whether his season isn't over already.

The official injury list from melbournefc.com.au says three weeks. FWIW here it is:-

Rohan Bail (knee) - 4-6 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 7-9 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) - 6-8 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Mark Jamar (knee) - 3-5 weeks

Jared Rivers (ankle) - test

Tom Scully (knee) - 3 weeks

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

See the Round 4 Injury thread

Updated Injury List (Post#28)

Robbie Campbell (achilles) - 5 weeks

Jordie McKenzie (groin) - 4 weeks

Tom Scully (knee) - 6 weeks

That was after Tom's injury was upgraded from 3 to 6 weeks.

Already praying these Bail, Garland, Jamar injuries don't become a year long problem.

We've a great record of turning 4-5 week injuries into a season.

McKenzie has played footy the past two weeks.

IIRC he's been on the injury list for the past two weeks as well. Him being off means he's 100% fit which is good.

Rivers, Trengove, Scully, Jamar, Bail, Garland, Grimes.

It hurts.

Garland out for 6-8 is a huge blow, he's been in good form all year. Same deal with Bail.

It hurts.

Yes. It does but it hurts a lot less when your team is developing and young because the fact that some of those players are missing gives an opportunity to others to get games before their time would otherwise have come.

None of us would have been contemplating two weeks ago the possible debut this week of a Max Gawn or a Michael Evans. In all probability it's too soon for them to be making their debuts. Yet the thought of these young players getting their opportunities and the hope that they can kick start their careers ahead of time is a compelling one

If they can get games, show something and play well they might well offset the disappointment of losing some of the old regulars.

Yes, silver lining and all that, and it's a development year still. But we're pretty much stuffed in terms of winning matches in the short term, which is a shame. It's also disappointing that there are several players on the injury list who we want to be pumping heaps of matches in to for experience, not to mention Trengove.

I'm bracing myself because I think we're going to be put in the hurt locker for a few weeks.

It's also now tough to judge the team, and DB, because we're an already weak team missing 1/3 of their best team (and a bunch of the more important players, too).

Call me a pessimist but we do seem to have the best record in turning 3-5 week injuries into season ending ones, the odd we even end the career of!

I don't expect to see any of those players back again this year. Even Trengove will probably do something at training during his time off.

This club has killed my expectations in life!

I've been interested to find out how Robbie Campbell played in the Casey reserves smashing of Cranbourne in the practise match at the weekend, and to my surprise there was no mention of him in Brad Gotch's player review? Did he injure himself last week (played a half in the 2's last week), or was he rested? I'd have thought, for a player like Campbell coming off such a long playoff with no preseason at all, a practise match against a local team would've been a great opportunity to play 3-4 quarters of a fairly low intensity match and get a bit of game time and run in the legs (albeit against soft opposition). Especially with our current ruck situation.

Reserves practice match

Casey 22.14 (146) d Cranbourne 1.4 (10)

Troy Davis: Troy can play. He’s building his fitness and showing some really good defensive play. He uses the ball well and showed a bit of dash. He’s going to put some pressure on selection wise.

Cameron Johnston: Cam played really well. He had more than 30 possessions, on top of his 26 last week. So he’s going well and he’ll be pushing for the VFL seniors.

Can anyone shed some light on Robbie's apparent non-inclusion at the weekend?

    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
