Cross, who is a LOT older, came back after 4 weeks.

I'm sure Viney can do the same. I have faith in him.

This could be an opportunity for Grimes to get back into the side and be trialed as a run with player. He did a good job on Danger when we won in Adelaide last year.

I know we only have a small injury list at the moment.

But we do seem to get injuries to more best 22 players and rarely to our 'depth' players it seems.

Bugger.

That's just an unconscious bias in that you notice them more. We have injuries to VFL players all the time

Am I alone in hoping clearance machine Riley comes in? Dont really know the more effective player out of Riley, Michie and Mckenzie

No. You are not alone. I think Riley should play every game.

Grimes only had Dangerfield when he went forward in the last 5 minutes. Vince had him the rest of the time. Grimes is not a good run with player. He gets easily lost around stoppages and isn't a strong tackler. He needs to keep playing half back which is his best position.

McKenzie or Michie are better options.

Toumpas in a tagging role would be a great development opportunity as well. Although Sloane or Danger might be too much to ask.

Poor Viney. Another set back. Just as he starts building form he gets hurt. Story of his career thus far. Hopefully we see him back soon because he is one of our best.

Brayshaw still hasn't built a tank for a full game of footy. Start him and see how he goes. I'm not huge on toumpas but his vfl form might warrant another chance as the sub.

426 aint bad for a leg.

The question is...

Class/flighty defensive effort or dour scrubber to replace.

The reaction is funny given the queries about him before the first game.

Definitely spent some time in the Demonland sin bin after that turnover against the Bombers. That being said, he's been fantastic during the first couple weeks of this season. Real shame to lose him, especially considering our draw for the next 4-6 weeks.

It had to be our turn for an injury this season. Every other team has seemingly had multiple injury concerns while we've been pretty much unscathed.

Not much we can do about it, hopefully someone else takes the reigns and steps up in his absence.

Subtle as usual picket!

Apologies, What I also needed to add is that I hope the boy comes back fully fit and ready for the next challenge!

Not denigrating, him but I Do think he is a Tad overrated by many on this board!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
