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 !

  • 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.
