There are a few listed as coming back this week which is good because we need them:-

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

James Frawley (calf) - test

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Brad Green (finger) - 1 week

Jordan Gysberts - test (ankle)

Neville Jetta (ankle) - indefinite

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - test

Stef Martin (hip) - test

James Strauss (leg) - test

Josh Tynan (foot) - 2-3 weeks

Although Josh Tynan is listed as "2-3 weeks" an artcile on the club's site indicated he might be right this week.

Also good to see that James Magner is not on the list.

All going well, next week it could be down to just Evans, Gawn, Tynan and Jetta, none of whom are relevant to our fortunes this year. Seeing a short injury list would make a nice change.

we are 0-5 and 16th so it sounds crazy.. but we do have some good depth when you look at the above names and add Clark with Bennell, Petterd, Blease, Couch and Nicholson at Casey... that's a total of about 14 decent players outside last weeks 22, 6 of them very good players

At risk of inciting a very boring debate about depth that I've seen go around a million times on this site now, knowing that Very Average Player #23 can come in to fill in the role of Being Very Average when Very Average Player #22 gets injured hardly gets me excited.

Honestly - would anyone seriously go "oh, damn, Jones is injured. But thank God we've got Tom Couch to fill the void!"

Next year when we spend the Scully picks and fill our list thanks to a quality deep draft I have a feeling our depth will me more than suffice for modern day AFL footy.

yeah agree with you on an immediate basis but plenty of those boys have their best footy in front of them so it is heartening, not for right now but for the upcoming few years

Don't understand your boring point- depth isn't supposed to be exciting.

What about inspector Taggert? When is he due for a kick?

Rory Taggert: It was Rory's first game for the season. He is a strong bodied young man and showed glimpses of his special talent. He will only improve with games under his belt.

There is a fair bit of class out of the side that will be pushing up for a spot.

I expect to see some improvement in ball movement with Jurrah ,Gysberts,Martin ,Strauss and even Green pushing for spots.

Frawley back in too.

Whats the story with Ricky P?

Form,attitude , injury?

I see Neeld returning injured players in as subs game by game.

Whats the story with Jetta?

Any thoughts re greens return? Assuming, given he was dropped and out of down when injured he will be coming back through the scorps? That being said, it is a finger injury so hopefully he has been able to work hard on the track at fitness and he may be ready to slot straight back in. Making a senior player earn their spit through Casey upon return from injury would send a strong message.

Perhaps it will depend on performance of the 22 this week?

Also not wanting to fan the fire of a boring debate, you're not suggesting that Jones is "Very Average Player #22", are you? :huh:

I thought it might seem that way, but it wasn't intentional. Jones is easily in our top 5 players at the moment.

    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
