Trengove is done! 

Lets place some serious footy nous here! No room for sentiment when  place in the 8 is now a real posibility!

lol

Yeah. I think if they have guys on the list, even ones who can only do one thing like Trenners, then they're there for a reason. We have that many inside ballwinners in the 22 now, there just isn't room for him. But if one or two of Oliver, Jones, Viney or Tyson were to miss or get hurt, Trenners would come under serious consideration. Hasn't put a foot wrong in the twos for half a season.

As it happens this week, subi is no place for his legs. But in subsequent weeks...

Goodwin was just on SEN 1) Gawn will play 2) Watts's scan came up clear. As long as he gets through training tomorrow will play. 3) Hibberd will 100% play. Always pulls up sore with his

Going to really stick my neck out here: In: Gawn Out: Injured player If no player is injured, I quit.  Too hard.

It's only natural after such a bitterly disappointing loss.

Does the club fly with Virgin or Qantas?

Virgin, no choice.

After he rewarded the QB mob with an unchanged side. We smash the premiers, doubling their score... and people think he'll make 4 changes.

Cheers, I'll be over in Newcastle for work this week, returning to Perth via Melbourne on Friday morning with Virgin. Probably a fair chance I'll be on the same plane.

IMO Gawn is the only in subject to fitness and the FD's plans to manage workloads through this 3-week patch of six-day breaks.

If there are no injuries and we're not resting anyone, I am not sure at all who would make way for Gawn. There's no chance it's Watts (subject to injury), whilst OMac, TMac and Pedersen are all playing more than well enough. That leaves Frost - if Kennedy doesn't come in, do we need all of Frost, OMac, TMac, Pedersen and Gawn? Do we become too tall?

Having said all this, I suspect someone will be either be injured (Jones/Watts/Hunt) or rested.

On pure form alone, if we have to drop someone it would be ANB or Vince, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.

Agree. Eagles are all big bodied mature types. The contested footy will be crucial... Priddis and Shuey usually tear us up. 

We can beat them IF THE UMPS GIVE US A FAIR GO.

There's a chance Shuey will get suspended for a bump on Dangerfield.

Still, the point is valid and Sam Mitchell's in that midfield as well.

A few injury concerns and Goody said in his presser he wont risk anyone off the 6 day break to Perth

In  -      Gawn,  JKH

Out -    Watts (hammy), Jones (quad)

Would personally prefer to see Trengove in for Jones. Could be a like for like in and under type replacement.

This crossed my mind also, but then, slowest player on the biggest ground? Hm.

Non changes question.

How do I find out if there is an open training session in Perth? Just call the club?

Want to take my 3 yr old daughter along. She has red hair so a big Clarry fan.

BTW think it is harmes out Gawn in...barring forced changes

Changes only made on the basis of injury, soreness or fatigue. We need to keep a winning side intact as much as possible but not risk serious injury to players with soreness. For example if Watts has hammy soreness well for gods sake rest him. We will need a strong injury free list for the remainder of the season and finals time.

Jones and watts will both play, just taking no risks 

If Jones has a quad strain, as reported then he will miss this week. Quads are pretty tricky & they won't risk it, he could miss 2 - 3.

Watts had a limp after the game, he would also be doubtful particularly with a long flight ahead. The way he was walking didn't look like just a bit of tightness.

...so, I guess I'm not as sure that both will play.

Gawn comes in for Pedo (or to share with Cam) and so Pedo/Gawn presumably take a spot in the forward-line ahead of one of our fleet of mediums in Petracca, Harmes, Bugg or Hannan.

We all love how Hannan is developing, but get the feeling he'll be the one squeezed. Played every game in his first season. Take a breather.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
