Demon Injuries 2017 season

Featured Replies

Really sad for JKH, he'd had an excellent pre-season and this is just rotten luck for him. 

 

Bad luck for both players, and it definitely changes my expected thoughts re round 1 unless VDB in particular can get fit; I really thought he was part of the expected side vs the Saints.

Apparently Jack Viney went in for a scan too??

Viney had tape and a plastic guard over two fingers at the season launch the other night.

He said it was a flare-up of the earlier injury, but nothing to worry about. If he has had scans, I'd imagine it's just a precautionary thing.

On his hand/finger he broke last year. All good is the word.

JKH with a broken arm, out for four weeks.

vandenBerg with a foot injury, not sure how bad.

M Burgan has reported 6 to 8 weeks for JKH, poor kid!

I'd like to see Trengove tried as a half forward if fully fit. The guy is a great mark and a reliable set shot. With Vanders out great chance to see if he could play that role. 

I'll call Garland a sneaky chance to get a high half forward role.

Must have hurt it when he was head-butting the Carlton player in the hand ...

Had a scan on his jaw too I believe, thought it may have been fractured after he was laughing for hours on end after Marc Murphy tried to fight him.

Extremely, extremely doubtful.  We have depth in positions now, and I can't for the life of me see them "trying" a bloke in a position that he hasn't been training all summer for, especially when we have other more suitable replacements ready to go that have been training there.

Watts for VDB

Tyson for JKH

bwattoth are upgrades.

Watts for VDB a good thing, I like VDB but not in the  expense of Watts.

 


Like others have said, there are injuries and there are injuries. 

Not great for the players concerned, not great for depth, but barely a ripple on the best 22.

Hopefully Kent can play in at least one of the remaining two games (JLT or Casey) and mount a claim for round one.

Nervous anticipation upon seeing the thread title.

Relief upon reading the news.

Guilt upon feeling relief.

Finally arrive at sympathy for the player involved.

Been "on a journey" Nasher.

We don't know that Vanders is definitely out yet...his ankles are an ongoing concern but it might just be a management issue

i just love how the melbournefc.com.au website keeps its members up to date. FMD

 

Your problem DD is you expect club web sites to be more than positive spin.

They will get round to mentioning it however if you want all the news ASAP stay on Demonland.

Mark Stevens tweet: "Dees confirm Kennedy Harris 6-8 weeks. Vandenberg fate still unclear after scans yesterday @7NewsMelbourne".

How does a broken arm effect your running capacity? hopefully he will be able to remain fit enough to start games straight away.

Hasn't had a good run and is out of contract this year.

 

Really unlucky for the kid as well. Had a good chance to cement a spot in the team with potential Kent and garlett out in the early rounds

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
