Hibberd has missed a lot of footy. If he ends up needing 3 or 4 rounds at Casey, it wouldn't surprise me - though it depends on what openings appear in the firsts.

Agree he will need some time before he comes in given his history with injuries. Suspect that will build up his load over a couple of weeks at VFL and see how he pulls up after that

Nervous anticipation upon seeing the thread title. Relief upon reading the news. Guilt upon feeling relief. Finally arrive at sympathy for the player involved.

He'll play round 5, but obviously Jones doesn't want to discuss the health of his Father, which is obviously a concern to Jesse. That's the extent that needs to be read into it.

this is starting to get ridiculous... how did we offend the football gods in this way

Is the Norm Smith curse striking yet again :mad:

only if you give it life, only if you bring it up.  Ignore it.  All i remember in recent years is asking for a competitive team that is not a laughing stock.  We are arguably at that point now.  I wish we were all healthy but it doesn't happen in football or if it does, very bloody rarely.  So hang in there diamond jim.  Forget about the footy gods, bad luck and norm smith curses.  I accept and then welcome these injury challenges because it asks questions of our depth and if we have no depth then we are going nowhere fast.  Lets see how we handle it.  Come on Fremantle you poncy purple DH's, hurry up and get over here so we can be tested again.

Not great but could be worse. Most are replaceable with the exception of Gawn, Hogan, and maybe Lewis

Only 2 or 3 on the injured list are in our best 22.

Not ideal, but not chaotic.

Problem with the list is if we add Hibberd, coming back through Casey then it's our backline depth that's been hit.

True.  However we should be ok, most teams don't have a quality 3rd tall forward and its less of a concern with zone defence.

I think we miss Hibberd....

We targeted him for a reason and it wasn't just because the coach thought he was a good bloke.

He should give us that bit more grit, run & experience down back, not to mention his kicking skills which we could really do with.

Can we miss him if we have never had him?

Woah, deep :P

We miss what we got him for, though. He'd have beenexceptionally useful last week. We had no answer for their talls.

just read AFL injury update... no Josh Wagner. Miracle recovery from 4 weeks. 

Maybe he just is tough or amputated his thumb !@!@!

Or just a mistake?? anyone more informed??

An amputated thumb or a dislodged toe nail are no barrier to employment for our current defence. Sam Frost manages just fine with his prefrontal lobotomy.

Misson said Col Garland (knee), Max Gawn (hamstring), Joel Smith (shoulder) and Josh Wagner (thumb) had all recently undergone surgery and had started their rehab.

I think we need a new doctor and elite whatever.....

Can't tell the difference between a shoulder and a thumb.

Think it's a typo, Misson said he was back training/rehab and ahead of time so my guess is thumb.

Remember we had an almost injury free list last year.

The whole time we did, I was dreading exactly this in 2017. lol

We actually miss Vandenberg.

Must have heard that half a dozen times during the game last week. Agree.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
