Round 12/13 we should have most players back, baring Grimes and perhaps Garland.

That's assuming there are no more injuries between now and then.

Melbourne had the best run of injuries I could remember up until the Adelaide game, then disaster.

If we weren't so thin at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if Jurrah was given a week to rest whatever seems to be niggling him. Unfortunately, with so many out he is just going to have to play through it.

Or should they just bite the bullet and give him a week off anyway?

Yep wonder if it had anything to do with the grueling training session after the WC loss, probably just coincidence

Heart strings can heal quickly, just a few goals early is all that they need.

might need Wonna back as well. we were getting the ball into the forward line on Saturday but failing to convert.

Don't see how he could help. He's supposed to be creating forward pressure as a small forward but he's not.

Could chuck him in the backline and see how Carlton do it though :)

Versus the previous four games when he has been there!

Sure we are not falling for a line by the FD to throw Carlton off a bit.

I will believe it when he runs out friday night.

Sorry Eth38 put this on the wrong comment

The unavailable list (ordered by weeks):

I would just love to see Scully, Trengove, Tapscott, Bail, Garland, Jamar all back in, and all playing rounds 15-24. When I say that, I feel for Grimes missing these games, so unfortunate.

But to see Gysberts, McKenzie, Tapscott, Trengove, Bail & Scully all playing during this period with Jamar in the ruck, would put a smile on my dial. I know injuries happen, but I hope we haven't to endure anymore long term injuries for the remainder. Unlikely but fingers crossed anyway. I just see that it's important they get games all together. Sooner the better.

I'm hoping that Blease & Strauss get a look in - in the meantime.

Whilst he hasn't been great, I hardly think he deserves to be dropped, considering the terrible quality of the delivery he has had to contend with.

I think Bate, Newton and Petterd are far bigger worries for us than LJ's efforts.

If we didn't select him because of his injury/injuries - which are apparent for all to see - then we wouldn't be dropping him...

I would just love to see Scully, Trengove, Tapscott, Bail, Garland, Jamar all back in, and all playing rounds 15-24.

Absolutely. I think we'd be a decent team.

I share your pain re: Grimes.

I'm hoping that Blease & Strauss get a look in - in the meantime.

Bleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

jamar said on the sunday footy show he is 2 weeks away

That's good news. Better to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Holey Moley. He's gone from 3 weeks to test in one single week.

He must be Superman! :wub:

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but fox sports last night stated that Scully will be lining up in the VFL this week. Not quite sure how true it is but it was definately stated!

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
