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! 

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. 

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?

Lever 8-10 weeks

Hannan 8-10 weeks

Vandenburg 4 weeks

Garlett 4 weeks

“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!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
