Current injury / fitness status

Roos can't lose
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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!

    Mixing metaphors maybe .....you are not meaning our former singing flying forward, #24 Robertson Caruso?

    saying that reminded me how much I miss Shaun Smith !

    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.....

    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.

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

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

    Simply, not injured, but yet to regain match fitness

    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.

    Dave Misson’s Injury Update

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
