    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'

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
