Strauss was lucky not to have busted his face after that hit. I'm happy it's just concussion, but yes, the boy has been unlucky. Once he cleans up his defensive skills and gets on the park regularly, young James will be a weapon.

Looking forward to seeing Williams, but Taggert's back at such a young age is worrying.

I'm pretty sure that Grimes had the same issue when he was 1st drafted. These kids play footy 24/7 for their school, their club, representative footy etc etc. It puts an enormous stress on young bodies.

Hopefully, he recovers well, but this condition needs careful management and conditioning.

Not a bad injury list to start the year with. Not many key players on it. Disappointing for the development of some of the young kids obviously, but injuries occur at a footy club and whilst a few more fancied players have had interrupted pre-seasons (Grimes, Morton, Tapscott, Sylvia, McKenzie etc), we're not as badly placed as we could have been.

What's the scoop on Evans? How did he do his back? He had a promising debut but seems to have faded from the picture since then, especially with the progression of other rookies such as Nicholson, Couch and Magner.

Well I put the Kiss of Death on Evans when I selected him to be my big improver this year. He may not even play this year.

Or again at senior level.

His 2 year rookie stint expires at the end of this year.

surely LJ's 4 weeks is garbage - they can't put down to 'indefinite club suspension pending criminal conviction'

the fact that the Sylvia omission is club-imposed, it means we esssentially have a full-strength side for round 1 of the season, it has been a long while since that has happened. Props to David Mission?

Why would the club suspend him indefinitely? Surely it's business as usual until his time in court plays out.

How can you just go and presume innocence like that before he has been to court?

It sounds like you're sarcastically agreeing with me, but I'm not 100% sure, so I'll make my position clear: I'm not presuming innocence or guilt - I think it's completely irrelevant to whether he plays football or not and if he's found guilty, it's up to the law to impose sanction and not the MFC.

Yes Nasher , I was agreeing with you .Presumption of innocence is one of the primary tenets of the legal system .When his wrist and form are right ,he will be picked .As he should be .

kidding yourself

it is not a good look to have someone running around for your club with those sort of charges hanging over them, and its putting the individual under immense pressure. I would not expect him to be in red hot form anyway given the circumstances. they will be keeping him on the sidelines until some closure has occured, and rightfully so

What a great legal brain you have.

Bill Clinton ran the USA with some pretty hefty charges against him. Oh yeah, we wasn't guilty.

I hope you don't lose your job over an unproven charge - let's say a work colleague falsely accuses you of sexual harassment. Goodbye career.

    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. Injuries to star play

    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
