Demon Injuries 2017 season

Featured Replies

 

Viney aside we are virtually injury free for the best 22. Our previously injured guys are starting to hit form. just need to get over the line this week, have a rest and we could do some damage!

 

Just a sample of a few clubs injuries from the AFL site. No surprise that the clubs

with few key player injuries are doing well.

Viney's in strife IMO. Was just on 9 news saying he can't rush back or he could make it worse, mentioned it was more a bone injury & nothing to do with his previous injury. 

I don't like the sound of a bone injury in the foot. 

Shattered if he can't make it back for finals should we make it. 

JV's got three weeks before the elimination final (assuming we get there...) so fingers crossed.

Jimmy Toumpas ... knee ... test.

If he doesn't come good, that will certainly harm Port's finals campaign !!!

 

Poor Jimmy was part of lose-lose-lose trade involving 3 clubs

Remind me of that trilogy?

Bad news:  Viney and TMc will not start preseason till after Christmas

Better news:  Jesse will start normal preseason.

It seems Viney would not have played in finals if we had made it.

Lets hope they have his foot problem under control and we haven't jeopardised his full recovery by bringing him back too early.  If I recall it was a 4 to 6 and he came back after 2 weeks.  He is a tough cookie but sometimes it shouldn't be the player's call.  We have medicos and coaches to do that.

We now all know who to blame for the loss. 


How about they just let us know what the [censored] the injury is?

Is it that difficult?

 

Misson -  "Jack's experiencing a sore foot. He could be out forever or it could be a couple of weeks".

I tend to think that the specifics of a players medical history are none of our business.

If they tell us, great!  But I don't think they're obliged to tell us anything other than 'foot' and expected date of return.

Misson's EOS http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-09-12/end-of-season-injury-summary

So many foot injuries!  Smith, Vand, Viney!   Viney's sounds serious.  Why they brought him back after only two weeks is beyond me.

Not to sure what to make of the report on Jesse.  "Jesse, with that hamstring [injury], was pretty close to coming back and actually playing again after half-time [against Collingwood in round 23]. He wasn’t really confident with his flat-out sprinting, so he didn’t want to risk that.  He would’ve been pretty close to playing [in the first week of the finals], if we had have made it. "

Is that contradictory?

TBH, even if he wasn't confident with 'sprinting flat out', surely parking him in the goal square was preferable to the bench making us down a player and rotations in rnd 23.  Dangerfield kicked 5 a few months ago in similar circumstances.  Were we saving Jesse for the Elim final...the one that never came...

The Viney injury really concerns me. He is also starting preseason around Christmas if all goes well. What if it doesn't go well after all it's a foot injury and we all know how difficult they r to overcome. 

I really hope he doesn't have an injury interrupted season in 2018 as he is one player we need on the field.

Hoping is just a related reaction to the surgery he had earlier in the season and not something new to worry about. I do think that of our list the guys who late starts won't be an issue are TMac and Viney, TMac due to his incredible fitness and endurance and Viney because it won't change the way he plays at all, reminds me of how Jelwood can come back in and make a difference after having little to no pre-season over the last couple of years.

  • 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.
