    Apparantly Neeld commented on 3AW - Grimes minor damage, 2 weeks and Jurrah will be back doing ball work in four weeks.

    No need for the stress pills boys.

    You realise he is the captain, yeh?

    They wouldnt delist this guy until he was 50

    Just like Mcdonald.

    Did Jurrah just have another op, or, are they hoping it will heal in another 4 weeks?

    Thank Christ for that. Hopefully this is his last injury in 2012 (and his career for that matter).

    A day in the life of Demonland has been perfectly captured in this thread. Time capsule stuff.

    Can stop feeling sick and obsessively checking Twitter for updates now, like some nutter.

    Go Grimesy, live another day son!

    Interesting tidbit when reading afl report that Melbourne club doctor Dan Bates attended to him.

    That is first reference I could see to replacement for our previous crew

    NN Is that Dr. Bates or Mr. Bates

    Absolutely!

    I'd love to say I'm above the rollercoaster, but I did have a minor coronary initially.

    Yeah, let's not pretend that there was a single person who read this thread and went "oh I'm sure it will all be just fine, who cares". If you didn't experience a little bit of vomit in the mouth, you are not human.

    It just seems to hit at this time of year and as a Demon fan we've been through this too many times to take anything for granted. Good luck to "Good Times", at least he can keep his fitness up while recuperating. Bring on Round 1 already!

    WTF. We supposedly had nearly everyone available for the intra club now our injury list is (according to 360):

    Grimes shoulder

    Trengove shin

    Clark knee

    Moloney sore

    Morton knee

    Spencer knee

    Strauss leg

    Gawn knee

    Jetta shoulder

    Jurrah wrist

    McKenzie anchilies

    Taggert back

    Tapscott hip

    Williams back

    Bring out your dead FCS.

    lol, let's just see if this is actually 2 weeks or an 'MFC-fortnight' which is usually a couple of months

    32 games in 3 years, yes let's give him the captaincy shall we, nevermind the fact he appears to be made of crepe paper

    oh well at least we have the good old 'interrupted pre-season' disclaimer if he has a disappointing year

    ah Melbourne, our motto should be 'stuffing things up since 1965'

  • Quote

    You forgot Evans - indefinite...

    so announced as 2 weeks, add the 250% MFC injury under-estimation rule, which means add another 5 weeks and then add another 1 to 2 weeks in the VFL and we should see Grimesy by around Round 6.

    On a serious note, he has a solid pre-season under his belt, hopefully can sit out the next 2 games and then have a light run in the NAB Cup Final and be ripe by round 1.

    Grimes should know by now that it's a bruise free game. He is a silly man for being captain and going in hard!! Especially given his injury ridden career. What was he thinking. A very bad example indeed.

    Thank the man on the moon he was lkg down on us and it was not worse than it could have been. Phew, I wouldn't blame the guy for pulling back a bit. Just goes to show the quality of the MAN and it's obvious why he is captain.

    Good grab by Blease

    He is a good mark, and not many people would know/remember, but Blease had the equal 3rd highest standing vertical when at draft camp (70cm, equal with Watts, to Naitanui's 78cm).

    Athletically gifted in more ways than just his running.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
