That's fifteen... if I understand correctly there are 40 on an AFL list plus 7 rookies.

Perhaps we may need to call some demonlanders up for a game.

PS: There was a time several years back when Collingwoood had to advertise for players to make up their VFL numbers

We had, what, six afl listed players in the vfl yesterday? Barrel well and truly being scraped

    Actually 39 and 6 rookies Jim. Of that 39, 14 currently on the injured list, of which arguably 11 are best 22

    Just read the report on the Melbourne FC web page about Hibbo only being out for a couple which is handy.

    It’s hard to compete when your first choice backline is looks like:

    FB:  Knee.    Knee.     Concussion

    HB:  Groin.    Groin.    Collarbone 

    emergency (Lewis) to be advised.

     

    edit: forgot our forward line:

    HF: Knee.   Soreness.     Ankle

    FF:  Foot      TMac       Jeffy

    Yes. Played on.  Again not sure why given injury. 

    He again was our best forward. A huge blow.

    But of course! 

    Why wouldn’t you take a risk with a best 22 player and a foot injury? This has never ever ended badly. 

    Seriously laughable.

    Just another blight on mission and our medico's how the [censored] do we let a guy with a broken [censored] foot play out a game.

    Those who were at the game would have seen this, but I’ve never seen somebody look so lame when he hobbled back on.

    “Jake’s got a fracture mid-foot which is reasonably significant so he’s probably going to take at least four to five weeks,” Misson said.

     

     

    Get [censored].  We are screwed now.   Melk is one of our top 5 most important players.   And given Missons pitiful track record with foot injuries,  I have zero faith melk will get back at all this season.

    Did he? I read that he first went off in the third quarter, but the break happened in the fourth quarter.

    A 15-player injury list is sizeable. On the AFL's website (which is not up to date), St Kilda has 14 players listed but most other clubs are 10-12, and some are much less (e.g. Brisbane has three).

    More importantly, of the 15, 8 are first choice 22 (Lewis, Lever, Melksham, Hannan, May, Hibberd, AVB, Jetta) and a further 4 (Weideman, JKH, J Smith, KK) who are on the fringe, if not actually best 22.

    It's tough going for us on this front at the moment.

    What’s going on down there, J Smith does his groin in a practice match comes back on & looks like he’s going to miss up to 16 weeks & now Melksham has a fractured foot & he comes back on.

    Im surprised Hibberd didn’t play out the game with a broken collarbone 

    Not to mention Viney the last couple of years

    No wonder Misson leaving at years end, before he gets the sack!!!!

    IF SO THEN SERIOUS SERIOUS QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED AND STAFF SHOWN THE DOOR!

    I’m assuming the only reason he came back on was due to rotations. He couldn’t even jog when on the field.

    Do we sob it up and concede it’s not our year due to injuries or do we draw inspiration off Richmond who are getting it done despite their injury crisis?

    Agree.  I had 9 out of best 22 with Weideman still in my best 22 based on what he can produce and the role as a CHF:FF

    I hope you are right. We have a very poor track record managing foot injuries.

    Just to add to our woes, a poster has reported in the Sam Weideman thread that he needs hip surgery ?

    Why the outrage, for all we know going back on the ground may have helped heal Jakey boys foot and reduce time out of the game. Looking forward to the whining from so called doctors on here.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
