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

I think Magner, or Couch... Couch'ys gone really well on the weekend, & I smell an inside mid coming in soon.

Fe Fi Fo Fum, I think I can smell a giant soon too.

more tanking list management?

If he needs 4 or so weeks to rest his foot, they may as well remove the pin now, & elevate a fit player. Clark will need to regain fitness after his rehab.

In doing it now he has more time this year to re strengthen the foot, prior to doing the next Pre Season, & then Hopefully he can get right thru the pre season.

Doing this may just help us get off to a good start next Year... Clark's Lisfranc was always going to be a difficult one.

Lucky we have the Misson on the Job.

This is wise player management. This season is all about player development.

Mitch is a star and it should all be about being ready and injury free for Round 1.

As mentioned it will open up a Rookie Spot for most likely Magner, which our Midfield will benefit.

It also allows room for someone like Fitzpatrick to have a crack.

It will be good to see Dawes and Fitzy coming into the side.

I expect the club to experiement a bit over the coming months in the foward line as a result looking for someone to step up.

Might even help Watts more.

doom and gloom on 360.

i'm really hoping it's not going to be the case.

Yeah that seemed a bit over the top in my opinion. The club knows what Mitch is worth versus what he offers playing this year. He will have all the time he needs and all the support possible. Robbo was just being dramatic. I wish he'd stick to talking pessimistically about Essendon's investigation. Now that's a story that needs some added doom and gloom.

Is anyone annoyed that we paid a guy big bucks and twice now he has had to miss half a season due to injury. Look I Mitch has been great and I like him but I guess im just frustrated that he is injured once again. Why cant it happen to one of our lesser good players. I know it isnt his fault and he would want to be out on the park.

Im just frustrated because he started off well and his marking is really good and he provides a target. Now if we bring in Dawes people will say we rushed him back to early.

Why cant we just get a break on something

Cant we sneak Hogan in. Hurry up 2014

Because its melbourne!

Interesting that from last year we all thought Howe would be a good HF, & Watts settled in the backhalf...

Now Howe may go into the Midzone, & maybe eventually onball, & watts may replace Howe as a 3rd tall hff.

amazing how things change from one month to the next.

Sometimes I think that being dead would be less painful than being a Melbourne supporter.

Now we totes won't make finals.

Of course it would be! Being dead is less painful than everything. That's the whole point!

Link is below;

The season just got a whole lot worse, the bloke is on 600k to 700k a year and has played under 10 games for the club. Dawes still hasn't played for the dee's. God its frustrating we cannot win a trick this year

Why oh why didn't our hopeless recruiting team foresee this :-((((( Sack them now, along with the coach.

It is getting there that can often be painful.

Do you mean that $ulky, having bled GWS of all their cash, now wants to commit to being a Demon for life (again)?????

watch Mark Neeld play Jamar at full forward ...

Because no-one ever plays or rests ruckmen in the forward line. Leuenberger getting 3 goals against us last week was obviously an aberration. As was Giles' goal the week before, Cox's 3 the week before that, and no point even mentioning Bellchambers' 4 and Ryder's 1 the week prior.

    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.
