You don't (or won't) get many opportunities like this injury wise to have a serious crack at the flag, these opportunities won't be there forever. As with all sides, an injury to two key players like Gawn and Hogan could spell the end to a season. If the lads are serious, time to have a real crack, we can beat anyone including Richmond on our day.

    It's all your fault MSF (lol) since that post we have lost Stretch, Viney and Hibberd.

    And of course you have mentioned a few big bears in Gawn and Hogan ?

    Interesting that Hunt is still showing as 4-5 weeks... hard to see him contributing this season unless we play deep into the finals. Will be an interesting call as to whether they even try to get him back.

    As I was typing that I thought that I shouldn’t post it. I can take the blame, screw you MFC!

    A little more promising news about Hunt (2 weeks away).

    Has a couple of games to force his way into the side for September ... if we get there.

    It’s getting up there now, three key injuries and a chunk of depth in Smith, Hunt (who’s having a down year), and Stretch. Plus Jetta test as well. 

    Big challenge for us now, really hope Hibbo’s quad injury is on the lower end of severity.

    Anyone know if Tim Smith is available? I see he was in Rehab.

    3 of best 10 out

    realistically 4 of best 22 out if I include Hunt

    fingers crossed Hibberd out for 1-2 weeks max and Hunt ready in VFL in another 2 weeks. We do need more run and carry

    Nearly had a heart attack! Please write "maximum" when that's what you mean. I thought for a moment that "max" meant Gawn and for some reason he was lining up in the VFL. I know it's a completely illogical thought, but reading social media can have that effect.

    That’s bizarre but understood!!

    I will also not use “gone” in case that also is confusing

    Hypothetically if it is two weeks then back for the Suns game. Which you'd reckon they would not play him in if not 100% cherry ripe. Back the following week against the Swans.

    Hannan? He's not on the list. I thought he was omitted. Or do you mean Hunt?

    Hannan out with a knee. Apparently.

    Sounds like a plan bin.

    Just stated on 7 news hibberd would be looking for a return during finals.

    that might have been an assumption...as many have made on here. In fact maybe that "news" came right off this site.  Lets wait til we hear from the club. Im liking Rustys info until proven otherwise.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
