A real curse of the first rounders:

2010 - Lucus Cook - injured early but could never put on weight and was to be frank very ordinary

2011 - traded for Mitch Clark, had some good games then had 'issues'

2012 - Toumpas - nothing to say

2013 - Tyson and Salem - Tyson was very good in his first 2 years then faded and traded, Salem had Thyroid issues but has come good but it looked a little iffy for a while.

2014 - Tracca and Brayshaw - 1 ACL and the other with serious concussion issues, has now passed for both and they are establishing good careers.

2015 - Oliver and Weid - Oliver is the only one who hasn't had any issues (touch wood!!!), Weid had known hip issues then has been slow to develop

2016 - no first due to having 2 in 2015 (although our first pick that year Hannan is out with on-going knee issues)

2017 - Trade for Lever - Lever the does his ACL

2018 - Trade for May & KK - limited so far.

So of the 11 first rounders we've had or traded for since 2010, only 1 (Oliver) has got a pass mark from the beginning of their time with us, Salem, Brayshaw and Trac have come good, while Lever and May/KK still have time.

    Actually I think we bought the batteries for Salem.

    Didn't he have a thyroid problem the first couple of years and missed a lot of footy?

    I was wrong on Salem - we did get to play with him and then he went haywire.

    I was thinking of those players that have specifically gone down for a year before or at the start of first season with us. Frost was another. And we've already had two more this year in Nietschke and Walker - although the latter is like the present you get from your eccentric aunt and only get around to once you're bored of the other toys.

    Pretty common for kids to get injuries adjusting to afl. Danger, Cotchin etc all had slow starts

    Great post. Could also go to 2007-2009 as shockers as well. Remember Morton, Watts, Gysberts, Scully and Trengove.  Poor.

    Preuss- 1 week

    Tim Smith - 1 week

    Viney - 2 weeks 

    May- 3-4 weeks

    Hannan 4-5 weeks

    Maynard 4-5 weeks

    Jkh 4-5 weeks

    Lever 4 weeks

    Joel Smith 6-8 games 

    Jetta 10–12 weeks 

    Kk indefinite

    Vandenberg indefinite

    Nietschke season

    Walker season 

    14 players out injured. 8 out of my best 22. Unbelievable.  Ridiculous.  It was perhaps forecast given prior years like 2000 where we were built up as premiership contenders. 

    Footnote. Hawks have 3 players out of their best 22. Birchall, Frawley, Mitchell.  Who’s their fitness coach?

    Fair enough question. Who's their Good Luck Coach?

    On Game Day this morning, Jakey Lever said he'll be back in two weeks - v Crows

    Looking at the footage of his USA rehab, it was very, very testing indeed

    Also, May is now running strongly and will join the main group in a week

    The win yesterday was great for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being that we won with such significant injuries.  I have reduced the injury list by a week as this was pre-round 7

    To have 9 of our top end talent back by round 11 will give the team a huge boost and hopefully help with a huge second half of the season.

    I'm not convinced he'll be OK,  but I feel certain he will return soon.

    Goody said,  or was it mr Misson,  that he will need to be monitored in future,  and most likely his loads managed, looking forward.

    Yesterday’s win was ground out but it highlighted we are down 6-7 key players.  Need injury list reduced over the next few weeks.  Love to see Lever, Hannan, May, Joel Smith all available to line up after the bye round. 

    Still doubtful we’ll see AVB back.

    -At premium members function yesterday the Viney's were guest speakers. Jack referred to Todd as dad, then as the old man and finally started calling him Todd which was funny. 

    Jack was questioned about whether he saw Stack and admitted he did and was happy to take him on. Post-collision was spent crouched on the ground assessing the damage. Todd stated that both May and Lever are ahead of schedule and he expects them back very soon. Jack is hoping to return next week as is Preuss.

    Will be interesting to see who makes way as key players come back from injury, I'm thinking:

     - Kielty for Preuss

     - Oscar Mac for May

     - Lewis for Lever

     - Fritch for J Smith

     - Lochart for Viney

     - Stretch for Hannan

     - ANB for AVB

    Kielty might get another run v GC this week with Preuss in the VFL.

    Lewis could also stay in to free up Salem into the midfield/wing, but reckon he will make way for Lever unless Fritch makes way.

    I certainly hope HE comes back

    makes opposition defenders less sure, if we can change that by 20% it will give us much more scoring chances.  

    isn’t it good to win !!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
