Injury List for the Bye

From Melbournefc.com.au

Rohan Bail (knee) - 3-4 weeks

Aaron Davey (knee) - 1-2 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 1-2 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Neville Jetta (hand) - 1-2 weeks

Joel Macdonald (knee) - test

Michael Newton (foot) - 3 weeks

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

+ Austin Wonaeamirri (compassionate leave) - ?

Rohan Bail keeps going in reverse while Jack Grimes doesn't discount a return late in the season.

 

Davey a chance for Darwin? I wouldn't think so but who knows. Hopefully we pick Aussie back up in Darwin, I thought this game would be the deciding point on whether he rejoins us or not. Fingers crossed.

I do. :)

 

I do. :)

So do I, there is nothing good to be gained from coming back this year.

He thinks so. Kids asked him yesterday at the clinic and he reckons he will be back for the Darwin game


He thinls so. Kids asked him yesterday at the clinic and he reckons he will be back for the Darwin game

I think there are guys ahead of him for selection on form.

Addam Maric (27 kicks, 6 handballs, 5 marks) - an excellent four quarter display from Maric who gave great rebound in a team that struggled for consistency all day.

Luke Tapscott (16 kicks, 2 handballs, 6 marks) - showed great strength and is a beautiful kick of the football. A similar outing at this level next week should see him promoted back to the Melbourne side.

Tapscott also has to his credit a "sickening head clash" which resulted in his opponent being stretchered off - credit in that he was hard at the ball (not of course that his opponent was injured - perish the thought as tempting as it is).

They will get another game this weekend to press their case. It will be a test for selectors whether to choose two (hopefully) proven fit and in form players over someone returning from injury.

Davey shouldn't play in Darwin, fitness and form against him. Tapscott should be a chance, MAric should definately come in for Bennell.

Will be good to have Bail in the side. We really lacked a defensive side on friday night, something Davey will not bring.

Aaron Davey's name is all he has at the moment. Let it NOT fool us. 2011 has been one to forget for him.

Tappy ahead.

It's 2011.

It's 2011.

Amended with thanks.


It's not just a choice between Davey and Tapscott. I would have thought Davey might come in for Bennell and Tapscott for, say, Morton or Nicholson (although I'd keep Nicholson in if it were up to me).

I'd bring in Davey for sure if available. He's had a tough year, but we know what he can do. Bring him in for Morton

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
