Our injury list is one of the smaller ones in the league.  Strains, bumps and bruises, especially at the tail end of the season.  Ridiculous calling for heads on the back of this. http://m.afl.co

He played out the game so it can't be that serious. The cynical part of me thinks that that we are coming up with an excuse for resting him without appearing to be complacent against a weak side.

I agree that Melksham is very important, but incredibly for someone who is normally a great kick he is a terrible set shot for goal.

The ball barely gets off the ground when he has a set shot.

Its the Tiger Woods stinger, he does kick like that in field kicks also.

All I said was that the soft tissue injuries were starting to stack up which is true. Didn't mention anything about having hard luck with overall injuries or anything like that. Medical misjudgment yes but not bizarre over-reaction.

Wasn’t actually referring to you. I would have quoted you if so.

Layzie, hope all is going well, pm me if you need some encouragement.

All good friend! One of those mornings in the office where anything and everything was going wrong! Past the worst of it.

So he did it in the second quarter and they still took the risk to keep playing him, now he’s missed a week? Hmmm, I’ve lost confidence with our medical staff after the Viney debacle. Funny how our injuries have “bobbed up” since then. Maybe Misson gets a bonus for a KPI “games loss through injury.” Some weird injury stuff happening, Viney, Hibberd, Stretch, Melksham etc.

You want to sack someone different every week.

Wow you can make some really offensive comments but a bonus for injury

Melksham had a similar injury early on in season, he could play but decision taken out of his hands

Stress fractures or hotspots are difficult to find, Stretch was lucky the caught it early

Hibbo still doesn't know what caused his quad he was fine through whole session and was having a kick at the end

I disagree. He's our second best set shot behind Tommy. Would love to see some stats on this - couldn't find any.

Think of the Richmond game earlier in the year where Jesse couldn't hit the side of a barn and Jake kept us in it with his kicking.

He's kicked 22.20 this year. Kicked 21.6 last year.

TMac has kicked 40.13. Kicked 23.7 last year.

Jesse has kicked 42.19. Kicked 20.6 last year.

Yeah, we're talking set shots though. I found his 50% conversion rate, but that doesn't tell us what his set shots have been like. I think you'll find a lot of those misses were snaps.

So you were, my bad. 

 Not sure if the AFL pro stats cover it. Or if champion data keep the stat.

    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

    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.
