Chelly
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 

I truly wish they would do the list chronologically by soonest to return. It’s so much more readable that way:

Melbourne injury list: round eight

Jack Viney (foot) – test

Christian Salem (thumb) – test

Harley Balic (platar fascia) – test

Mitch King (elbow) – 2-3 weeks

Dean Kent (hamstring) – 4 weeks

Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 6-8 weeks

Corey Maynard (hip) – indefinite

Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite

    Must have been a decent ping of the hammy, he did it weeks ago.

    Shame as he looked very good when he came back into the team.

    Filipovic’s R & R break must be over.

    Good to see Harley Balic close to a return.

    Didn't they say last week Filipovic would be out for 2 weeks?

    They said Balic was out for 2 as well but it looks like he's back for this week.

    Sage advice from Max to JV:   http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-09/gawns-viney-warning-dont-rush-back-to-afl

    "But if I could give advice to Jack – I definitely regret not getting a couple of games in the VFL before I came into the AFL."

    If ever there was a time for a player to get match fitness at a VFL game (or two) this is it as the next next game(s) are vs GCS (and Carlton) which are very winnable without Jack. 

    On the other hand his time could be managed in both those games and he play just 65% for example. 

    An interesting team release tomorrow night.  Wouldn't be surprised if Jack plays at Casey this week.

    The hip injury may have derailed Maynard's season.

    I tend to agree.  

    As keen as I am to see Jack back in the team, we should learn the lessons of recent history.  Last year, Max was straight back in and seemed to be playing catch-up for the rest of the season; Viney was straight back in and... well, I don't need to say what happened after that.

    The season is long and this week is very winable without many changes.  One week in the VFL to regain some match fitness and touch, then into the team for Carlton at the 'G.

    Agree TPF39.  Also, it's easier to manage on-field minutes (to say 65% game time) at VFL level, than it is to do the same in AFL without compromising team results.

    Tom Morris is a handy golfer. He won three British Opens and his son won at least one  as well. Sporting family !!!!!

    Tom Morris Sr. Old Tom Morris didn't invent the game of golf, but he is recognized as the sport's founding father. He played in the first 36 British Opens, winning four times, and sired a son, Tom Morris Jr., who won the world's oldest golf championship four times on his own. Morris still holds two British Open records—oldest champion (age 46 in 1867) and largest victory margin (13 in 1862).

    Filipovic missed a game and then missed another week for the bye. That's 2 weeks.

    From that article Salem is a lock to be selected. ANB seem the obvious out i would have thought. But you never no.

    For the umpteenth time goody is quoted as saying they have preapared Viney for AFL footy. Which im really pleased to hear. I was worried they were preparing him for curling.

    I think Goodwin did a media interview today saying that Viney will play in the VFL this week and that Salem is every chance to be available for the seniors.

    Good that seems the smart move.

    My head says play him with controlled minutes in the VFL to make sure he’s cherry ripe for his return.

    My heart says geez it would be nice to see him rip up Gold Coast...... let’s hope we smash them without him.

    They might be being extra cautious with him as he has a history of longer term hammies?

    Yes but badly!

    Maybe the Morris' were the only two to compete in the championships for the first 30 or so years!

    Poor Vanders has had a shocking run.

    I reckon when Vanders gets thru this, he'll be a keeper.

    He's a stubborn tough man.

    Ankle this time, so He may well be over that stress fracture.

    Kent is probably the only best 22 player missing but we can cover a small forward with about 8/9 players 

    Mckenna and Vandenburg must be really struggling and careers probably doubtful

    King is 50/50 type and needs a good run of luck

    I like Maynard’s style and would like to see him back as a tough competitor 

    5 missing is about as short a list of injuries as we have got in about 20 years!! Fingers crossed it remains low

    I think Goodwin would really rate him because he's tough and Goody loves players with a bit of mongrel probably why Spargo is ahead of Garlett. If he ever gets fully fit I can see him on a forward flank in the seniors.

    Melbourne injury list: round nine

    Dean Kent (hamstring) – 4 weeks
    Mitch King (elbow) – 1 week

    Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
    Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 6 weeks
    Jack Viney (foot) – available

    That for real Chelly? Kent another 4 weeks??

  • Quote

    That makes five players out injured, of who two have yet to play at AFL level. One has played just 2 AFL games. Aaron vandenBerg hasn’t played since 2016 which leaves Dean Kent as the only other “out”. That’s about as light an injury list as I can recall and we certainly couldn’t use that for an excuse for any drop in team performance. The team we pick tomorrow should be just about the best we can produce from our list.

    Given his history with hamstring injuries, that would be for real.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
