So Riley is on the LTI, but who else is likely to go on it? Clark? Dawes? Wonder how far off Jamar truly is from playing.

The Cats put 3 on their's the other day, however they are in a good position to blood young rookies due to all the experience they have.

Clearly we don't have the inside information on Mitch Clark and his current issues but if an assessment is made that they can't be satisfactorily resolved in the short term, then perhaps he should be put on the LTI in the hope that he will come back fit and refreshed for the second half of the season.

In the meantime, this would allow Georgiou to be elevated in his place and reward in form Neville Jetta with a place in the team for round 1.

As much as we would all like to see him fit and refreshed and playing, this is a team sport and we need to look at turning the situation to the team's advantage and give players like Georgiou and Jetta their opportunities.

Wadr WJ theres ni hipe in hell that Clark currently presents as anything other than LTI (at best )

Even doinf lazarus its be months before he could don a 1st's jumper now.

Best to put him directly on the list and leave him be.

so we have 2 vacancies now as I see it. It just is :(

I can see demonland going into meltdown when Jetta gets upgraded and takes JKH's spot in rd 1 as our crumber.

Georgiou is the common sense upgrade to play as our 3rd key defender.

Not likely to happen on yesterday's form.

Jetta was good as a small defender and JKH had an ordinary day. Mind you, it's hard to be a crumbing forward when all the play is in defence and your midfielders constantly pass the ball backwards to the opposite defensive flank or into the back pocket to a one on one or straight to an opposition forward.

No inference at all. It's just that my auto-translate app isn't working and I was having trouble with the first half dozen words of your post but I did get the gist of it. :)

Anyhow, it wouldn't surprise if there were two rookie elevations this week and the inclusions of Georgiou and Jetta will IMO prove to be more valuable additions to the team than many would think.

Love me some Alexis Georgiou

Cult figure in the making and will play round 1 for sure

It will be really interesting when Garland is back, can Garland, Frawley, Mcdonald, Georgiou, Grimes, Terlich and Dunn all work together, or does a Garland or a Dunn potentially go forward?

Mcdonald was also drafted as a CHF

Pretty sure he was drafted as a versatile tall who could do either end.

Exactly, we are light on for tall forwards but tall backs just now we are doing alright, i reckon Roosy would be considering that.

McD up forward. Gimme some of what you guys are on

I reckon Frawley, Garland and Georgiou can hold up as a solid backline, Mcdonald and Garland could interchange as the forward option, i believe both have the capacity to play either end

    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

    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
