The road to Cranbourne is open in the summer months. Take plenty of water, and provisions for three days, and extra fuel. Notify police before you go, including your car rego and expected date of arri

Viney looks like a bull at the gates out there. One bit of play he tackled a bloke, pried the footy from his grasp & bollocked his way through 3 guys before he got the clearance. Can’t wait to see

Chandler the standout that quarter. 2 goals, should have had 3, a pack mark and a lovely pass to Jones who missed.  Jordan impressed off half back. Petty solid. Sparrow quiet. Melk very good that

Just now, whatwhatsaywhat said:

so, given that preuss will likely miss a bit of time with a groin, will we 'risk' gawn in the pre-season or withdraw him from today's game against the bears?

he plays ... but a bit more work into the alternate ruckmen

Preuss sounds like another 4-6 injury

Would be nice to have a Richmond like injury list during our window.

No it didn’t 

Sorry didn’t realise you were part of the match committee, the club has said they  want weed and McDonald to play forward, if keilty plays the ruck forward roll well he will come into calculations for round 1 imo

You can't put people in cotton wool.

He needs another hit out before round one. 

The Preuss injury will make zero difference.

Do we actually know just how serious the Preuss injury is?  No? Yet he’s gone for 4-6 etc... nice to see some things never change on these forums.

Maybe if they play 3 key forwards in the same side today but they haven’t done that at any stage in the 2 games so far. 

With Melksham back and rotating 187cm+ mids through the forward line they can spare 7 minutes a quarter of Weid in to the ruck, just as they did for the first half last week.

the news is a groin.... have you ever known a quick recovery from such an injury.

Could be better when he cools down but 4-6 is what to expect.

Nothing particularly pessimistic about it... just being realistic

It sounds like a pretty seriouse groin injury if he has limped off. Problem with groin injuries is that they can become debilitating over time if not managed well. I have managed mine for the past 5 years.

I would say he will be out 6 to 8 weeks. A lot of strengthening around the hips and abductors plus also that 1st week or so just to let it settle down a bit.

I am not professional though, but i have had experience with groin injuries and its not something you can miss short termx especially the way he has limped off significantly.

Well yes, if it is indeed a groin injury.

“News is...”... how often do we see initial reports getting it wrong.  It may we’ll be a groin, but let’s just wait and see before we pack him off to the glue factory.

Jebus: 'Casey Fields is located approximately 50km from Melbourne CBD in Cranbourne East.'

Not only does Cranbourne East sound like a truly horrible place, but I had no idea it was so far from Melbourne, you know, the name on our can. It's basically an away game.

Someone needs to take the blame for this travesty - and I doubt it's Jack Watts' fault, as there doesn't seem to be much in the way of top-shelf swimming and [censored] opportunities in the near vicinity.

Imagine having to go to Amersfoort ?

Tis but a scratch.

Reminiscent of the weekly injury reports re Jimmy on the Footy Show many moons ago...

"Jimmy had his left leg amputated during the week.  But, fear not, he WILL play this week...!"

OR, this classic:

"In this box are the ashes of poor Jimmy Stynes!  BUT, fear not, he WILL play this week...!!"

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
