I'm confused about Gawn. Not on the injured list, yet from the reports of the intraclub match, he's not fit enough to be played in the ruck either.

I know he needs to build his tank to see out a game, but surely that's improved since last season?

Is he in a similar situation to Jamar, who's also not fully fit yet not on the injured list?

That is the way I see it!

Understandable perhaps. But no reason why we shouldn't point out to those frustrated supporters when they are being ridiculously negative in the hope they might look at things more calmly. That person

Just because the player doesn't have the tank to play the desirable position doesn't mean they're 'injured'.

Just means they're unfit.

All last year, peterson wasn't injured, he was just fat, so he played vfl for a while or the whole season lol.

Thats probably why they're not on the injured list.

Simply, not injured, but yet to regain match fitness

Wouldn't it be great to have 2-3 wins by round 5 with the prospect of Garland and possibly Clark returning to boost the line up about that time?

Thinking positive.....

Wow Moonshadow - you all get cut to pieces by many here. Positive thinking is regarded by some as very undemonic. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

We need to gain a bit of inspiration and a bit of G&D from Britain's wartime leader - by no means a perfect man, but universally regarded as an inspiration in times of the most dire need.

Not sure that I would agree MD

They were both good.

IMO Wells by a short half head.

Different sort of players.

Wells more inside and nuggety and bustling - could take a good grab for someone his height

Alves was more classy and purely outside

They were all inside players in those days.

Did Riley have a setback, or are they just looking at Casey time? I spoke to him at training a couple of weeks ago and he thought he would be back in full training in a matter of days.

I am sure Georgiou will be the one uplifted if we uplift a rookie.

He's back in the main group as far as I'm aware but will need 8 weeks there to get back to full fitness. I think it's already been a couple of weeks. Look up the last Misson interview about him going on the long term injury list. I believe he said he should be ready to go around round 3 or maybe it was 6. That was a big surprise because when they drafted him they thought it wouldn't be before mid season.

I'd be a bit disappointed if Garland is out until round 6.

I reckon we can possibly get 2 wins out of 5.

ive predicted 4 out of first 5.

my mates have organised a bet with nude consequences .

im still confident and have also said 8th spot.

Injury list per the Age:-

► Mitch Clark (hamstring) 2-3 weeks

► Chris Dawes (calf) Test

►Colin Garland (ankle) 2-4 weeks

► Cameron Pedersen (hamstring) 1 week

► Aidan Riley* (leg) 6 weeks

► Luke Tapscott (knee) 2 weeks

Interesting WJ

No mention of Strauss

Clark 2-3 is this the MFC version of Neil Balme's 426? May I think before we see him saddle up at Casey.

Suggests to me that someone will get upgraded for Riley.

    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.
