Never thought I'd view a lengthy injury list and think that the most disappointing name to see on it is James Strauss. Gysberts as well. These are two was really hoping would step up this year.

Jack - Spencer was listed as 1 last week and I was surprised, so it would seem he's done with his injury, though there'd be some serious cobwebs to blow out through the Casey 2's. I know many don't rate him, but I'm pleased he's back nice and early; some pressure on Jamar can only be a good thing in his current form.

I was worried about Strauss last week when he said his leg hurts after a game.

That did not sound good and now he has two weeks rest.

We need as few injuries as possible so to get Spencer back can only be good news no matter what I think of him.

Taggert- 3 weeks- you beaut!

Jetta- Indefinite.. how is an ankle injury indefinite? What is the mystery there? It's an ankle- diagnose the problem and give us a time frame!

As far as I can remember, Spencer was starting to look the goods just before injury took him down again. I know in the Shanghai Showdown game he put in a very good effort (for what it's worth).

This is usually the way - there is some residual dull pain.

I might have given you the wrong idea hardtack I actually like him.

Yes he had improved and he has some mongrel about him.

That is a commodity we are a little short on.

I didn't get the wrong impression at all... I thought you probably did like him... I have to say I'm a bit of a fan as well, just as I have been of Jones since he first started with the club and he became everyone's favourite whipping boy... perseverance pays off in many instances, and I have hope that Spencer, like Jones, will do himself and his team proud.

According to Demonland Fitzy was a delist dud too until quite recently.

Will he still have to serve that one match ban?

And anyone know the info on Jetta? I still think he can offer us something, would hate to see him delisted with such limited game time

Stef Martin (hip) - test

I find it easier to read this way.

Eleven out of the squad of 46 are on the injury list - that's nearly 25% of our squad. At the moment we haven't got enough suitable players at Casey to replace all the out-of-form players in the Firsts.

Last week we were so short of players at Casey, Kyle Mathews had to ring his brother to see if he wants a game along with another ring in to make up the numbers in the 2nds...

That stat is never mentioned by the media when they can us for losing. 3-4 good players can make a big difference.

Didn't see N.Jones at training today. Beamer didnt train went straight to rooms after initial warmup. Stef trained entire session looked little bit sore though. Would expect Couch to debut.

wouldn't most other teams have about 10 players injured at any given time?

The number of players missing last weekend was actually 15 but a couple like Aaron Davey and Josh Tynan weren't injured but rather rested. Davey wasn't selected for Casey but arrived back in Melbourne on a late flight with Tynan who also did not play for Casey. Dan Nicholson was under a club suspension.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
