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! 

  • Quote

    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. 

  • Quote

    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.  

    Wrap up the rest in cotton wool

    “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.

    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
