Only 1 best 22 player missing through injury at round 11 is great going  

referring to Salem.  H should be back at casey next weekend hopefully

sets us up to have a real crack at the second half of the season and allow all our young players to play multiple games together and gel.  

And getting Angus back will be awesome, a real beef-injection if you will

Is Misson responsible for this mess?

Oops!  My Bad...not Viney. It is a thyroid problem with Salem and he may be out for quite a while.  Could be quite serious.  Helps explain why he has had a flat start to the year.  Wish him well

Someone who tackled Mathieson contracted head lice from him?

With our depth, and newfound awareness of the need to nurse and rest some of the younger players at various times through the year we shouldn't have the drop off to the extent of the last couple of years, despite fielding a younger team, week in week out... 

Brayshaw, M Jones, Garlett, Harmes and H should all be looking to spend time in the AFL team over the next 10 rounds which will only help.

Salem update:

Return edges closer for ill Demon Christian Salem

"The young Demon will also be placed on the medication he took when the illness first flared in 2014, causing him to lose six kilograms prior to that year's Christmas break."

What does that mean? The medication that caused him to lose six kilos or the illness caused him to lose six kilos.

Perhaps it should be worded. The young Demon will be placed on the same medication prescribed after he lost six kilos when the illness first flared prior to Christmas 2014

It is likely that he was on one of two medication options to suppress an over active thyroid gland.

when the thyroid function returns to normal they will try and reduce or cease the medication .

normally ongoing monitoring of his condition would occur .

it is likely he had recurrence of over active thyroid <thyrotoxicosis> and was restarted on the medication.

he would have his thyroid function monitored no his parameters are now back in normal range and can start training .

this is my interpretation of the information not inside knowledge

Touched on briefly in this thread, but surprised it didn't get more airplay. 

Is anyone else annoyed that when interviewed during the week, Heritier mentioned that one reason he hasn't been playing is because he's been coming to terms with Muhammad Ali's death? He's obviously a 'different cat,' and I like what he brings to the club and has apparently done great work with the young guys, but to me this is sheer lunacy.

He's a professional sportsman, getting paid money most have us could only dream of. If I went to my boss and said sorry I can't work the next few works due to the stress that Ali's death has caused me, I think I'd be looking for a new job!

He actually didn't say that at all.

I see that kennedy-Harris and salem have been named in the Casey development squad. I imagine on limited time but great to see them back playing.

Lumumba indefinite still. I've got my doubts that we'll see the Prince again this year.
May even see him move to 'other projects' come seasons end (altho' a lazy $400k-$500k may be difficult to pick up elsewhere)..

Feel free to tell me I've got it wrong.

Misson resposible.

An action packed sports science thriller starring Tom Cruise.

For some reason that made me think of a headline the newspapers must be kicking themselves for missing....  "Dank dodges yet another bullet."

The Misson bashers are quiet this season. Another reason why we must make sure we finish off the season well, I can't remember the last time our list was in this healthy state this time of year.

Anybody know what HL's story is -  other than a good game against the Roos his 2016 has been a complete bust. Im not certain his place is secure in our best 22 is secure and think we should look at moving him on at years end. The salary cap room could be important and he may offer some trade value.

HL is obviously having trouble passing the "TEST" 

The big question is " Would he have passed the test before the concussion"? 

Unlike Grimes HL has a contract for next year. Barring a pay out he will be fronting up again in 2017.

Our injury list hasn't looked this good since about 2000! And before then probably 1988. So best injury list for two years out of the last 28. Gee aren't we lucky. 

Our injury levels resemble the Hawks injury free list for the past 5 years. They have had a full list (best 30 players) to choose from for the GF every year since 2012. You need some luck to win finals but the Dawks have cornered the market when it comes to lack of injuries to key players and any players for that matter when it counts!

What this healthy list also enables one to do is consider the quality of recruitment and development in the last few years. With only two players unavailable for selection (and probably one or two more not fully fit returning from illness or injury, much as Salem) we still had a high proportion of our players either former rookies or late draft picks (ie, 50+), such as Wagner, Harmes, vanedenBerg, Hunt, Jetta and the two McDonalds. I haven't compared that with other teams, but that seems like a pretty high strike rate to me.

    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 sta

    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
