Has Jack Viney done much with the main group? Hopefully he can play a JLT. 

I think I heard Melksham joined the main group which is positive. 

23 days to go!

    26 Days until the Demons take the field for Round 1. 23 days until the Extended Bench team is picked for Round 1.

    I don't believe that he has trained with the main group this preseason.

    So i guess he has had no interruptions to his interrupted preseason.

    Looks like all of Jones, Viney, May and Melk are good

    Kolo Good for round 1 (probably VFL)

    Lever Going great guns

    Hannan seems terrible "Hopefully see him before the bye" ?

    Nietschke done for the year obviously

    Great result to have those guys back in full training with still 3 and half weeks until round 1!

    Get KK right for the season.

    Shame about Hannan but if he can get his knee 100% for the back end of the season he'll be cherry ripe come finals. He was playing through the injury in the finals last year so I reckon he can get to another level when fit.

    That Kolo injury sounds nasty. Playing in round 1 at any level seems ambitious.

    Hannan - not good, but I’m of the belief he’s been inconsistent since he’s joined up and played a lot of games bandaged up. It’s preseason so I’ll take the optimistic view that getting him fully healthy will be good for him.

    Hannan could be a handy addition, much like AVB, in the second half of the season.  If you watch the highlights of the last 4-5 games of the season, which includes the finals, he was a key contributor in either scoring goals or being in a position to assist them.  With our depth I'd say he gets plenty of time to get himself right and put himself in the frame to make an impact come July or August.

    Is it just me or has Hannan being out for half a season just come out of nowhere?

    Fingers crossed they get this round of rehab right and he comes back fit. As with others above, I feel he has been consistently hampered with knee problems.

    Just wondering what is the official latest on Lever? At the beginning of the thread mentions mid season, after surgical setback. I realize he is currently in the USA doing that rehab course, which has been very successful with others i believe...

    Saw  post today that Jake comes home Sunday.

    all went very well inUSA with Bill Knowles.

    Aiming to be back in full training group in a month.

    Round 8 is looking like return to Competitive play most likely VFL then AFL.

    Good Luck Jake can't wait till you return.

    I hope they don't do any rushin with Kade, after his osteitus tendon injury.   Let him ease the way back. 

    I don't mind if he misses the Rnd1 and Rnd2.   Just get him 100% first...  at his new club.  

    He is coming off injury issues and broken chains of games.   Lets not risk his long-term well being with us,  just for an early start in 2019.  It's not worth it.

     

    Get him absolutely 100% right,  before he plays any senior games.

    It feels like this preseason we've had way more guys starting slow and recovering from surgery, not to mention a few injuries thrown in. Anyone else concerned heading into the season? I've got a slightly uneasy feeling about it all. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid!

    Addressing these issues (with surgery at various levels of depth) and more gentle and time-consuming training/readiness agendas in place, it is better for the whole team to have dealt with these requirements prior to the start of the season or, for example, midway through the season, or by largely overlooking or even ignoring latent problems in/with players where these could well fester, leaving a severely handicapped depth listing nearing the end of season - when we should be knocking off other finals aspirants without mercy or concern. Notice - ameliorate - fix - prepare - test - win responsibly.  A good footy mantra.

    With all of the justified concern over player fitness and team depth this coming season, ain't it just going to be amazing and inspiring when they all hit the ground together for the first time, and line up on match day as a totally unbeatable team of great footballers with immense team pride and interactivity.

    Why do you want him to play in the JLT? To get injured again?

    The bad news:

    • Lever - another 3 to 4 months.  That suggests a return to the field just before or after the bye ie round 12, 14.  Hannah another 2 to 3 months.

    Not so bad news: 

    • KK - 3 to 4 weeks away.  Garlett avoids surgery but is 4 to 6 weeks.

    Good news:

    • Jones, May, Melksham and Viney are cleared of previous injuries and all expected to play some form of football this week.

    What they decided was as he was going to get one knee done, they may as well fix both up, hopefully to end his knee issues

    Unfortunately the 'worse' knee had a bit of a hiccup and he had to have a small procedure post Xmas

    Club believes in fixing the issues completely or hope to, no matter how long that takes

    He has, like Vanders, been working his butt off in the gym, so core strength will be even better than ever 

    He starts his preseason on legs next week, hence the timeframe

    Most of the others rehabbing were either small procedures or not leg related and were able to get the k's in

    Hence Oliver's performance post an 'interrupted' pre season

    so with Hannan being out for a while, and now Garletts injury, who would be next in line as a goal sneak/small fwd option for us? Bedford, Chandler, or heaven help us, C.Wagner or JKH?

    also can we still use our last draft pick* to get a player like that, or has the window shut on that option?

    edit- *spot on our list may have been a better term.

    Spargo, ANB and Melk can all play the small forward roll

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
