haha same

Add Fitzy and Seller to the mix and you have an all star line up

Fitzy form is much better than Sellars.

Id love to see Fitzy and Dawes in that forward line with Watts and Howe.

Magner to clear the ball and Kent to boot it long in there , with Gawny resting inside 50 as well.

Trying to make the best of a bad situation, bring on Magner if Clark can be put on the long term list.

I am hoping this means Watts gets a chance to cement a spot up forward. Also it should give a chance to include some midfield grunt in Magner if the club decides that Clark will certainly play no foo

Yep Magner will be upgraded so Neeld can play him in his natural defensive forward position

If Fitzy is going to 'make it' his time is now....... What you say dosen't sound too bad DeeZee

Knowing the MFC's luck recently surely nothing good can happen in 2013 ;)

Kicking goals hasnt been our problem, its getting it out of the centre and inside fifty.

Enter one James Magner.

And then watch Neeld misuse him as a defensive half forward again!

I knew as soon as they said sprain in the same area as the lisfranc it was potentially bad news.

In a way this is a good thing compared to what could've happened.

The screw can be taken out and any scar tissue cleaned up. After a period of rest to whatever ligament is strained he might be well and truly healed.

Obviously Mitch's year is now down the drain but he won't need off season surgery.

It allows us to learn to play smarter footy. Also says to Dawes, Pedersen and Fitzpatrick please show us what you've got! Not to mention Magner must be upgraded.

Other teams get early prognoses' of worse outcomes but they end up being 1-2 weeks, it always seems like for us what appears to be an innocuous injury turns into a serious one.

Look at Lecras! He was meant to be out for ages and came back after 3 weeks!

Back luck (again) big fella. Come back fit, healthy, and hungry!

Isn't LTI 10 weeks minimum? As in if a player goes on LTI it is for a mandated 10 weeks at a minimum, then a rookie can be upgraded?

It's an 8 week minimum.

Took a while to confirm it, but managed to do it through an article on Gawn:

"The 208cm ruckman will be forced to stay on the LTI list for a minimum of eight weeks... The move gives the Demons the flexibility to promote a rookie if necessary"

Dawes still at least a week away you'd think.

Gives Fitzy a chance to play for his AFL career at least.....

Watts, Fitzpatrick and a resting Gawn/Jamar as our tall targets against Carltank.

"Melbourne forward Mitch Clark will undergo minor surgery on his right foot, and will miss the next 6-8 weeks of football."

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-04-30/clark-to-miss-up-to-two-months

Definitely not the best news!

Not the best new, however, there are a few positives.

  • Mitch Clark will have the screw removed and play the last 8-10 games and have a FULL PRE SEASON at years end.
  • Magner or Couch can be elevated from the rookie list to provide much needed grunt in the middle, and maybe lift the clearance stats. (that is of course Clark can be put on the LTI list)
  • Jack Watts to play up forward. I know I will be shot down for this, however, Watts will have more help in the forward line..

Thats my view on it all, I do not see this as doom and gloom.

Don't fear. I've heard that Melbourne's doctors are considering a new experimental surgery where they will attempt to remove Mitch's heart and insert it into Jack Watts' chest as a temporary measure. They'll then place the heart in Mitch's chest again after 8-10 weeks. We'll be fine.

Ahhh a Jack Watts joke... It used to be said "sarcasm is the lowest form of humour", but these days i think it's Watts jokes.

Watts and dawes up forward won't be too bad, just hope the big fella is alright!

Yeah nah, just takin' out the metal so the hole can be replaced with some bone growth (rather than bone growing over the fastener(s)).

I actually thought that one was pretty good.

In a situation like this... only Nicolas Cage can describe my emotional rollercoaster

Reaction to Clark being out for 10 weeks:

Reaction to him being put onto the LTL and a rookie being elevated:

Thinking of Magner or Couch:

Possibility might have a better midfeild and Clark still being able to get a few games at the end of the season/full preseason:

Get better soon Mitch!

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
