Round-14 v Dockers post bye  

hope to get players back (May, Lever, kk,  Hannan, Hibberd, Melksham) and others back in form (Trac, Weid, Tmcd)

perhaps then only Jsmith Vdberg Jetta out of best 22

Assume no one else goes down in the month.  

I know it’s very optomistic 

Hibberd* May*. Lever*

Salem. Frost. Fritsch

Brayshaw. Viney. Hunt

Melksham* Weideman. Petracca. 

Garlett.  Tmcd.  *Hannan 

Gawn. Harmes Oliver 

n jones Preuss Lockhart Hore

emerg. *Kk Anb  Stretch Lewis jkh

    You know things are going well when you come to demonland and find medical diagrams.

    I can't help but think Melksham and Lewis fighting through the pain to play on was key to us actually having a chance to win.

    Way I see it Melksham did nothing after the original incident to cause a break which means it was always there so he was always going to miss weeks, even if we didn't know it at the time. 

    I can understand people's frustrations particularly with the Joel incident in JLT 2. But this time 4 points and what slim hope there is left in the season was on the line. It will most likely amount to nothing.. but if we do want to try and scrape into 8th this year this could be the difference.

    Our injury list is so bad it resembles the krap that comes from a politicians mouth. At the moment we are getting a double dose of both.

    The pain he showed on the medical table before coming back on surely would have indicated more than a sprain. 

    Players are tough and want to play. Melksham strikes me as being one of the toughest (I'm not sure why I think that.) Is it possible he wouldn't show he was in pain so as to get back onto the ground?

    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. 

    How would it have helped? He’s out for 5 weeks!

    Can we actually assemble a full team for this weeks game??

    If Weideman is unavailable for Casey and they take two travelling emergencies to Perth the AFL listed players available for Casey will be around 5.

    In theory the emergencies could take the red eye back to Melbourne and be available for Casey on Saturday at 2pm. Not ideal but possible.

    Had  a look at the league wide injury lists and many clubs have long lists. Collingwood was near ours in number for example.

    I realise it all about who is out and for how long but the quality of our depth which has been a problem for years is really showing.

    I thought Lever was meant to play VFL last week?? 

    Could we be lucky enough to get Lever and Hannan playing VFL this week and get them into the team V GWS the following week? 

    Then May to come back in against Adelaide or Collingwood?

    I think they've said the want lever to play at least 2 games. This week will likely only be a half or 3 qtrs, and then a full game next week.

    He has said he is eyeing the NT game against Adelaide, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is held until QB

    he didn't play against the Bombers but if he did play this week... even for a half that would be great.

    Haven't heard about Hannan

    This weeks game is against Port Melbourne who are a non aligned team which generally means that their across the board team strength is quite high.

    The list is looking decidedly healthier!

    The five players listed as 'Test' are expected to be available this week?

    Pleased that Sam is one of them and has avoided hip surgery?, at least for now.

    KK is aiming to play a game before the bye.  No detail on AvB status.

    Would be an amazing effort if Hibberd is back 2 weeks after his collarbone.

    Emerg: Spargo - Kolodjashnij - Frost - Kennedy Harris

    Laughable that seriously injured players are kept on because of 'rotations'. They're virtually useless on one leg - better to send someone to rest as the deepest forward.

    I'm pretty sure this is not uncommon. If I recollect correctly, other players have returned in quick time from this sort of injury once a plate is inserted.

  • Quote

    There has been no progress on the status of Smith, Kolodjashnij, Vandenberg and Jetta since the initial incidents.

    Does that mean there actually is no improvement, or we're just plucking figures from thin air to complete the injury reports?

  • Quote

    AVB now at TBA is a goddamn disaster. 

    Also Joel Smith has to be the worst blow out of an injury I can recall in recent times. Closely followed by Steven β€œI turned up unfit and drank beers with mates” May. 

    Spargo with foot injury which going by our history could be a one week or 3 year injury (refer to above).

    16 blokes out. WTF.  now two of our best in Melk and Hibbo. 

    Reckon that will tip us over the edge from average to downright poor.  Brace yourselves for Friday night!

    We were worse than downright poor against the Suns. Can barely recall a MFC team missing so many targets. Remarkable we won. 

    But as they say in the classics - it's funny old game. Who'd of though the hawks would roll GWS or blues push the pies?

    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?

    The Tigers had a dream run with no significant number of injuries to top liners prior to this year for three to four seasons.

    Might having fewer chances to play at AFL level inadvertently have helped those at their VFL to develop/learn and mature to a point they were more capable of taking the step up to AFL level vs many of our depth players (and those of some other clubs)?

    Unfortunately our depth as been shown up as poor at best, with a few exceptions.  Maybe in part for the exact opposite reasons?

    For all we know he could have been out for 10 weeks if he hadn't come back on the ground

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the β€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
