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?

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
