Demon Injuries 2017 season

Featured Replies

Was there a thread or match report for the hit out the guys had on Friday?

 

It looks like Kent, Garlett, Jetta and Hibberd will be fit for round 1. Whether they are picked due to lack of match practice is another question

For what?

Someone made mention that he came off during training on Tuesday. Not sure what the incident was

DD36 reposted a BigFooty post from Vital Dread in the Casey Preseason thread page 2 post 33.  Too hard to link on my mobile.

Lol.

Whenever Burgo conducts these injury update videos with Misson, I can't help but laugh.

It looks like Misson is having the shittest time of his life talking about it and Burgo seems scared to ask about anything and fumbles his way through the questions.

And there's rarely anything other than vague time-lines of where players are at.

Also heard nothing about how Wagner is going.

Lol everytime?

I've noticed this with almost all of his interviews. I get a real timid vibe about his work. I actually feel for him.

Hibberd has been ruled out of round 1 according to SEN.

Article now on MFC website saying he won't play this weekend at Casey or Round 1. They are being cautious with an Achilles injury. Don't think we'll see him for a few weeks. Hopefully it doesn't become long term and we can get him back soon. He'll be a key to our back line this season. Great interceptor and booming kick. Frees up Hunt more as well.

Seems a long time if someone just stood on his achillies. Who was it, Paris?

The injury updates are a waste of time. 

The club gives us nothing and I know they have to be cautious about releasing info about players but it really faaarks me off. 

We r left in the dark.

Saw him in the rehab group today, looked pretty fit to me and I`d say very close to returning to the main group. In fact all in rehab group moved really well. Mitch White looked OK too but did see him chatting to a trainer and pointing to his instep of his foot, but soldiered on . Maynard was in rehab and looks in superb nic, ran a lot of laps at serious 3/4 pace. Hunt as discussed in training thread looked fine, got a headknock during training so just taking it easy but should be good for round 1.

so that's currently 13 on an injury list?

(5 of whom are back to playing level)

lumumba - retired
garland - knee, season
frost - toe, indeterminate
hibberd - achilles, indeterminate
king - knee, indeterminate
jkh - broken arm, 8 weeks
vdb - heel, 4-6 weeks
wagner - leg injury in jlt1, 2-4 weeks
garlett - recovering from jlt1 hamstring
jetta - recovering from preseason injury
tyson - recovering from preseason injury
kent - recovering from preseeason injury
watts - recovering from preseason injury / laziness

The bolded are the only ones worth mentioning, the others are playing, therefore no longer injured.

Hibberd might be a couple of weeks and Frost is pretty much right to go judging by a recent training report.  Wagner is also not far away.


The AFL site has struggled for accuracy in the past with its injury lists. Here's its current attempt at Melbourne's current list -

Sam Frost (toe) test
Colin Garland (knee) TBC
Jeff Garlett (hamstring) test
Michael Hibberd (Achilles) 1-2 weeks
Mitch King (knee) TBC
Joel Smith (toe) test
Dom Tyson (knee) available
Aaron vandenBerg (foot) 4-6 weeks

You can add "season" in place of TBC after Colin Garland's name.

Anyone know on which date the club's own injury list get published?

At a date of their choosing...

more likely to be early hours of the morning (say 1-2am)...

mentioning all injured players as 4-6 weeks...

then having the list removed some 59 seconds after being published 

:cool: Moral of the story - Published injury lists are a waste of time and you are better of listening to the DL members with an ounce of credibility :)

Could be a few potential problems pending Saturday !

Flash says hello

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
