Yep. Hasn't really changed the entire time he has been out. 3 to 4 weeks ago it was 3 weeks de-load and 3 week re-load.

Next minute: we want to set him up for a strong 2020....

 

I'm very sad........nevertheless i was sad last year for a while too.  This year however i'm sad because of knowing that they are better than what i thought they were last year. Whereas last year i didn't really know what they could achieve, so in effect i'm sadder this year than last year....you could ask if i will be extremely sad next year.......

I think Spargo would be helpful at the SCG. 

 

#edit:  I hope they do Not play TMc this week...  rest him  Ffs.

We do not need that high-endurance run on the bloody SCG.   So ANB and TMc can rest a week. 

 

But a bit of punch off the mark,  wouldn't go astray... - Sparrow. Chandler,

It’s crazy how many players are getting injured.  We need more cotton wool. 

Surely KK puts on the helmet like Brayshaw.  

The helmet does nothing to stop a concussion. Brayshaw wears it because his mum wants him to. 

He got elbowed in the head. It happens. He obviously is very prone to concussion and we need to manage that. 

I assume they’ll do with him what they did with Gus and Jetta before him, both of which, touch wood, have come out the other end.

Footballing maths. I suspect you might really mean 4 of our best 22.

football is all about your bottom six - take away four of the 22 and yr reliant upon your squad, and that's 26

fwiw, if you add in kk, that's 9 of what was my ostensible 'best 26' from the start of the year now missing:

B: Jetta - May - Lever
HB: Lewis - O Mac - Hibberd
C: Jones - Brayshaw - Harmes
HF: Petracca - T Mac - vandenBerg
F: J Smith - Weideman - Melksham
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
I/c: Hannan - Hunt - Fritsch - Preuss
Emerg: Spargo - Stretch - Kolodjashnij - Frost

that's 8 of 26 currently on the injury list, or freshly added to it since the weekend, plus jkh is next cab off the ranks too

Now that we've finally added McDonald to the injury list, when most people could tell he was struggling in round 1, when are we going to be honest about Jetta? The guy can barely move at the movement.

As I was saying ... ?

Why is Jetta already cooked by round 4?

I'll answer my own question, he was in rehab until the new year. It's going to be the story of the season sadly.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS 

12 injured players heading into round 4. 

Whilst not all are best 22, but imo 7 would be in my best 22 

jetta. Lever. May. Kk. Hannan. Lewis. jsmith. Vandenburg.

That’s TOO MANY ALREADY in a tough relatively even competition.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
