Injuries Round 15

MELBOURNE defenders Joel Macdonald and Luke Tapscott will face fitness tests in the lead-up to round 15.

Although coach Dean Bailey indicated on Monday that Macdonald was a reasonable chance to play against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium on Friday night, he said Tapscott was more likely to play for Casey if available.

Forward/midfielder Neville Jetta (hand) remains two matches away, while vice-captain Aaron Davey (knee) is still 2-3 weeks from resuming.

Dasher Rohan Bail (knee) will be sidelined for a further 3-4 weeks, while tall Michael Newton (foot) is out for another four matches.

Youngster Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) is 2-3 weeks from returning.

Leader Jack Grimes (foot) and ruckman Jake Spencer (knee) are out for the rest of 2011.

Round 15 injury list (ordered by resuming date)

Joel Macdonald (knee) - test

Luke Tapscott (hamstring) - test

Neville Jetta (hand) - 2 weeks

Aaron Davey (knee) - 2-3 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 2-3 weeks

Rohan Bail (knee) - 3-4 weeks

Michael Newton (foot) - 4 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

Disappointing to see Bail go backwards a few weeks. My mate was chatting with him before the game in the race or something and Bail said that he had a major scare during the week so maybe that has something to do with it. Disappointing news really. I imagine that if JMac can't play Sam Blease will be unveiled on Thursday arvo to the press.

The Herald Sun list:

MELBOURNE

INJURED:

Colin Garland (ankle) test

Mark Jamar (knee) test

Rohan Bail (knee) 1 week

Neville Jetta (hand) 1 week

Aaron Davey (knee) 3 weeks

Michael Newton (foot) 3 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) 3-5 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) season

Jake Spencer (knee) season

Joel Macdonald (sore knee) TBA

ON THE BLOCK: Jamie Bennell was only fair against the Tigers.

ON THE CUSP: Sam Blease, Matthew Bate. With Casey not playing these two didn’t get their chance to impress but Blease will come in soon.

JON ANDERSON'S FORECAST: Suddenly they have genuine depth with Mark Jamar and Jordie McKenzie back from injury. With Jamar back it means they have an exciting ruck duo with he and Stefan Martin. How long since that was the case at Demonland? Twenty years ago with Jim Stynes and Steve O’Dwyer.

What about White and Stynes, White and Simmonds?

That Herald Sun list is all over the shop. Still has Garland and Jamar on it.

Another thread on here reckons Bennell played his best game for the club, so the subs on this article have clearly not seen the game but merely looked at the stats page for a scapegoat.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    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
