Great to see 5 players back this week......

Five Return From Injury

Injury list

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Jack Grimes (shoulder) - 1-2 weeks

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - 3-4 weeks

Cale Morton (knee) - 1 week

Jake Spencer (knee) - 6-8 weeks

Rory Taggert (back) - 3 weeks

Leigh Williams (back) - 3 weeks

Aside from the news about Jurrah being granted leave to return home the amount of players available for round 1 is looking good.

Hoping Grimes and Morton can get at least 1 full pre-season game in before round 1 just to top it off (of course with no other injuries)...

Morton may struggle to get a run for quite a few weeks until his works on his game at Casey ,I reckon .

If Michael Evans is now out indefinitely does this mean we are able to elevate another rookie ?

Grimes is now another 1-2 weeks away, same as last week.

What's the bet he doesn't play next week?

Bubblewrap alert!

Hope this is not a "Geelong" 1-2 weeks.

I remember a couple of years ago Ottens was out for 1- 2 weeks that kept on that way for 2 months.

No this is the MFC we tell the truth!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Evans a rookie himself?

JT, Tappy, and Jordie. Three guys i'm very happy to see getting pre-season game time.

Fair effort by James Strauss to be back available for selection. To be honest, when he suffered that injury I thought we wouldn't see him at all in 2012.


Posted

Strauss, WOW, thats amazing and a credit to HIM and ALL concerned.

Posted

So, based on this information Evans, Gawn, Jurrah, and Spencer will be unavailable for selection for round 1. Not too shabby, considering that Jurrah is probably the only player that would be pushing for selection if he were fit anyway.

I wouldn't mind at all if it's a "Geelong 1-2 weeks"...didn't Ottens come back in time to win a premiership with the Cats? I could live with that sort of injury concern.

Yes he did.

I would be happy for Jurrah to appear early August in time for the GF.

Well we can dream?

Evans and Williams were never going to play much in early part of 2012, with Nicholson, Couch and Magner well ahead at this stage. Taggert a first year player, wouldn't get a look in for round 1 and Gawn and Spenser affect our ruck depth, but not in the early part of the season, with Martin and Jamar clearly our number 1 and 2.

Morton and Grimes will still get to play 1 nab cup game and will be available for selection round 1.

That pretty much leaves Jurrah as our only best 22 player out for round 1. A pretty decent result. Let's hope Jurrah can play before too long also

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
