Cometh the time, cometh the Spencil. Bring Big Jake in to help out Max as he's still getting back into it, have him take it up to Kreuzer while Max can cause havoc in the forward line. And he's not injured, which makes him stand out at the moment.

Spoke to Jesse after training today. Said he was happy with what he did with the main group, it went well, but will see how he goes at training on Friday. JKH was training with the forwards, Trengove

We are a win over Carlton away from being 9 and 6. Forgive me if I am not depressed about some [censored] injuries. Get a grip people.

Totally unnecessary. We are all covered with Tom and Pedo in the ruck.

The last thing we need is to be even less mobile, given how depleted our midfield is.

I rather plonk Gawn at FF and let Tom ruck for most of the game if Gawn is struggling for fitness.

confucious say, team who makes 5 or more changes rarely wins

unless absolutely required I would not make any more than needed through injury. Certainly Wagner would stay in if I was picking the team. not many had a good game on the weekend

I notice That a debutant Ruckman for Port Melbourne won the BOG medal against Jake Spencer.  And some fools on this site believe he is AFL standard. FCS Melbourne get rid of him. 

If this post is correct I doubt Spencer will be getting a call up.

...and nor would he add any value.

I know injuries are a part of football, but thanks to the AFL with giving us a 6 day break we have lost a lot of our players, this makes me so p$*$^% off.

Not happy!

4 games in 18 Days 4 ÷18=4.5 days recovery on average between games how can this be agreed to by the club are we still getting handouts from the AFL?

as they say ... don't mention the war .... but week after this we have our famous Darwin expedition.

Great time to totally stuff up our players for a few dollars. Better clubs would not expose themselves to the risk.

The only good thing is that the next game is against Port which is probably a loss anyway before the following must win against North.

But teams we play in Darwin have won the week after so it should be no different for us.

Why has the club not released any word on Viney and Tyson?

There are pics and rumours floating around that Viney has gone in for surgery?

This is seriously a concern. Usually no injury news is BAD news!!!

Apparently it's a specific surgery relating to the Plantar Fascitis muscle where they actually cut the tendon to help it repair.

Apparently if it doesn't fully tear, it can just continue to be painful and not heal properly.

They just showed the team training on 9 news and Frost was moving fine.

As was Jack Watts last week. I actually think,and hope, he will play. All I am saying is that if he experienced hamstring tightness during the game but continued that is a different story from cooling down afterwards or a day or two later. From bitter experience, I have played out games with tightness,feeling OK,not great early in the week and pushing to hard in the next game.Having said that, trust our conditioning and fitness staff to make the right call. Still think there is some doubt.

Just trying to cheer up the place. Frost was with main group, bending down, touching grass and getting back up like a spring chicken from the snipet they showed. Can ill afford to lose more run.

Very true mate! We just have to scrape through the next few games with wins and get some soldiers back. The bye at the end of year may do us a favour like the dogs last year

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players.  Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin Boeing 737 flight to Perth for this upcoming team-bonding, fun-filled, weekend getaway.   This cross-continent Round 4 clash at Fremantle Oval starting at 2:05pm AEST promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies slight favourite.     If we lose, finals will be remoter than Rottnest Island and the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday, an omen.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
