    Half back: Garland, Grimes, Salem

    Pretty well our first-choice HB line.

    Not sure how much any of these are preventable. Note that the hamstrings etc. are all across the younger players. Short of not playing or training, not sure what more could/should be done, it just takes time for bodies to build up to the load of AFL.

    Does seem to be a league-wide problem though, there are more than a few teams with injury lists that are as long/longer than ours.

    Misson needs to go. Not just because of injuries but also for our lack of conditioning to be able to run out quarters.

    Stkilda at 3 makes me feel a whole lot better about last weekends game, they must be pretty [censored] if that's close to the best they've got

    Yeah bring back Percy Cerutty I say.

    Gee, Pedersen being out for the season is bad luck for him and us.

    His contract runs out this year so he won't have another chance to cement his spot.

    I was really hoping he would be re-sgined soon as he played well and has good chemistry with Hogan.

    Hope we still sign him.

    Gutsy effort by Grimes (like Garland last week) to play out the game with a broken thumb.

    Gives Dawes a chance to show if he has learned to actually mark the ball and kick goals. Bloody hell though Pedersen out for the season!!

    The report said Pedersen fractured AND broke his wrist. Don't think I've heard that happening before.

    I reckon he has done enough to earn another season on the list too.

    Obviously this means we have two forced changes, with Dawes the likely in for Pedersen but not sure who they swap for Grimes. Could Harmes possibly get promoted at some stage?

    Fractured = broken. No idea what they are talking about.

    Pedersen and Grimes too - must all be Missen's fault. After all if he didn't get them fit enough to get on the park these fractures would never happen.

    A StKilda mate of mine said post game "we basically had our best side in and our 2 best players on the day are north of 30. I know which team I would rather support".

    Doesn't really help us at all.

    Another informed contribution.

    I feel for grimes. I thought he was pretty good on sunday. I can handle a long injury list but not when its made up of very very good players who would be in the starting 22.

    The worst thing is we are only 1/2 way thought the season.

    Geelong at 16, no excuses this week!

    Feel bad for Grimes, bar the PA game he has played rather well in his limited outings.

  • Quote

    What the actual [censored] is this injury list?

    Grimes broken thumb? WHEN? HOW?

    Ugh, the injury list is truly out of control.

    At least Garland should be back post-bye

    Do we have any defenders left?

    Brutal. No idea how people can directly correlate this with Misson's performance though, definitely not a position people should be baying for blood outside the club. Go watch some of the other clubs' injury list videos (I've watched them because of bloody AFL fantasy) and see if you want to trade them in. Even if we can do better, it's no point wasting energy considering it now, it won't be changing and it'll look a whole lot different in hindsight at the end of the year.

    if you look at geelong's 16 it includes 5-test, 2-tbc and 3-1/2 weeks, so not as bad as it first looks

    but i don't think they will rush anyone back just for us

    Exactly. Grimes breaking a thumb and Pedersen breaking a wrist are out of our control. Garland breaking his hand last week is the same. Plenty on that list were unpreventable.

    Considering he'll be out for about 6 weeks and will then have to return via Casey, i wonder if Grimes has played his last match for Melbourne?

    No.

    Yep!! My main beef is how Salem if managed correctly, can injure his opposite Hamstring!??

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
