Some of our list management and player management decisions in the past 12-18 months are mind boggling.

Which ones ?

That isn't as bad as it first looks.  Harmes will play this week as will KK (VFL).  May back next week. 

While it would be handy to have AVB, Hannan, Lever, J. Smith and Garlett available realistically they wouldn't all be in the side this week anyway and we won last year without them (except Hannan). 

Mostly I'm glad that Viney, Jones and Melksham are off that list and will play.

All things considered our injury list is in reasonable shape.

We have about eight blokes who are nowhere near ready for senior football, so to have another ten on the injury list leaves us with little more than the bare minimum to pick from this week. Some of our list management and player management decisions in the past 12-18 months are mind boggling.

another typical hysterical post by you.

It would be interesting to compile 2 lists....

1/

Demon recruits who fail  to get through their first season  due to  season-ending injuries in the first few weeks

2/Demon recruits who get through their first season unscathed.

I reckon it would be about 10:1

Damn, Had Vanders and Smith in my super-coach too! 

The question must be asked. Why he played the last quarter of the jlt game obviously injured.. 

Now that he is out with a long-term injury. 

Beginning to think Vanders and Smith might be cursed!

and Vanders is the flare up of his horrible injury.  hope he isn't 4-6 for the next 10 weeks   ?

Especially in the Rookie  category

Maybe they don't do enough fitness work before footy skills?

Isnt Shannon Byrne in a specialist role (more off field ) I think?

Maybe Max Rookes area ?

Snyone know?

Injuries already killing our 2019 year. 11 players out with injuries already. It’s ridiculous.

Nietschke   Season

Walker  Season (delist)

Jkh  10-12 weeks

Lever 8-10 weeks

Hannan 8-10 weeks

Vandenburg 4 weeks

Garlett 4 weeks 

T Smith 3 weeks

“He’s really tracking along well at the moment so he’s somewhere in between (returning in) Round 7 or 8 to Round 10-12 so it’s in that range, depending on how it goes from here on.”

Does that mean he will not return round 9 ?

Is that a convoluted way of saying between round 7 & 12

Source? Particularly as to Garlett?

KK played on the weekend so surely wouldn't be on the injury list any more?

On a related note, why is the club's website so terrible?

Club websites are for puff pieces and some stats. If you expect more you will be always disappointed.

What a waste of a read that was.

Sure, but we didn't hire someone to replace him?

Would appear not at this point!

So pleasing for AVB.

A positive prognosis from the specialist is great news!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
