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.

Their bye is this weekend, so I guess if that is read to be true he could be back for the game v Essendon on 22/07 ?

This bit though...

“Gus is essentially training with the main group [and having] full contact. We’re hoping that he’s a chance for the VFL game after their bye this weekend.  It really comes down to Gus and how he’s feeling about his footy, but all things are pointing to a positive outcome"

... to me says the problem is more with Brayshaws mental state than anything. If he still has the confidence to get in there and stick his head over the ball again.. etc ?

I think he is "apprehensive" about taking the field again.  I don't think the term was harsh, instead accurate.
 
Next time I'll preface my remarks for the sensitive.
 
gun-shy
adjective
adjective: gunshy
  1. (especially of a hunting dog) alarmed at the firing of a gun.
    • (of a person) nervous and apprehensive.
      "she's still gun-shy about new relationships"
       

I think this is outrageous. You are virtually accusing him of cowardice. It does nothing to help Gus in his recovery and certainly stirs up a hornet's nest when we should all be doing everything possible to support the club it its recovery to full fitness. I'm sure you would be the first to criticise if we missed the finals through poor morale in the latter stages of the season.

Gus is the opposite. He is desperately keen to get back on the park

Don't understand why this format isn't used more widely, sooooo much easier to read/see/use etc

How about if ProDee agrees to exchange 'gun-shy' for 'tentative' or 'hesitant', and you can use 'unfair' in place of 'outrageous', and we can prevent this forum from sounding like Hansard or the Herald Sun comments section?

How that can be construed as accusing him of cowardice is beyond me. It's perfectly understandable that Gus would be concerned about repeat incidents that could endanger his continued career as a footballer, and as such he may well be hesitant about taking the field. Gun-shy is just another term for hesitant.

With our injuries to key players we actually fielded a less experienced team than Carlton on the weekend.

Games: Carlton (1903) v Melbourne (1644)

Goals: Carlton (1114) v Melbourne (1039)

Average age: Carlton (24 years, 233 days) v Melbourne (24 years, 180 days)

Doesn't stop some in the media, and CFC fans, from lauding their brave young side for their performance against our mature experienced side.

I interpreted it the same way as Dees2014 initially because of all the previous ways I'd heard the term used 'gun-shy' in the past, and because ProDee offered no other context or explanation whatsoever other than a one-liner.  I know I wasn't the only one.  English language and our interpretation of what people say is shaped by our experience, generally, not by whipping out a dictionary every time. I thought his point was unclear.

I'm surprised Dees2014 still took that view after ProDee went to pains to explain that it wasn't his implication, though.

So who will be back first? 

Watts or Viney?

Salem or Brayshaw?

From what I saw on the footy show a short time ago, I'd say Viney will play next week if he has his way. He moved well during the handball competition, not that you can go by that though.

You wouldn't think he was on crutches only two days ago if you saw that.

The revolving door continues. Dean Kent out injured indefinitely and Bernie Vince suspended for two matches. A few "tests" but no doubt the conservative approach will continue and only Dom Tyson and Jack Watts will get a guernsey. My guess is Salem & Viney wait one more week at least. 

Melbourne injury list: round 18

Angus Brayshaw (concussion) – available
Lochie Filipovic (hip flexor) – 1-2 weeks
Colin Garland (knee) – season
Nathan Jones (quadriceps) – 1-2 weeks
Dean Kent (shoulder) – indefinite
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – season
Christian Salem (hamstring) – test
Tim Smith (navicular bone) – season
Dom Tyson (knee) – test
Aaron vandenBerg (heel) – season
Jack Viney (plantar fascia) – test
Jack Watts (hamstring) – test

So being an optimist we could have a more or less full squad to pick from as early as next week barring Bernie...thats not too bad really. It just depends how they come back and how long till the match fitness fully kicks in for the whole team. Feels like its taken forever....i guess in some ways it has..

If you were truly OCD, you would have placed McKenna and Garland in alphabetical order as you've done with everyone else when their anticipated length of time out is the same.

Watts will be tbe key in. Having him out has really demonstrated how critical he is to our side, particularly his composure and delivery of rhe ball indide 50.

I also suspect hoges will love having him back, as much for rheir obvious bond as the improved delivery he'll get.

    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

    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.
