The not kicking on his right probably makes a lot more sense now. Was dragging on too long to just be a the foot infection. They're really strict on kicking with quad injuries.

^ Great to see Gawn and may get thru unscathed.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them play some quarters in the Casey game next weekend to catch up with game fitness.  May looked a bit rusty, Max looked good.

Any word on Vanders?

Apparently kicked a player in a contest and was a bit sore so they took him off as a precautionary measure given his history.

Fingers crossed it turns out to be just soreness and doesn't develop.

I'm at the Launceston Airport, I'm on the same flight as the players. Vanders has a very heavy limp, I could go ask him but don't want to look like a creep.

Take one for the team MD ?

 

Channel 9 news showed Toby, AVB and Weid all on crutches. Latter two rolled ankles. Weid looked worse than Toby.

Thought it was said that Aaron would be sent for a scan.


Just now, Demonland said:

Do you mean Toby and Weid rolled ankles or AVB and Weid rolled ankles?

Sorry, Toby and Weid rolled ankles. Weid's looked awful.I thought they said AVB was bruised foot.

Has KK trained this year at all? Or is he working out in the gym?

feel awfully sorry for him but if he is to miss the whole year it's a blow

I don't believe this is based on new information. Hopefully the club makes an announcement on vanders, Weid and Bedford.

The 14 big names now in doubt for Round 1 of the AFL season

Aaron vandenBerg (Melbourne)

This luckless Demon continues to have a nightmare injury run.

VandenBerg returned for Melbourne’s opening Marsh Community Series game against Adelaide last month, before coming from the ground against Hawthorn on Friday night with another foot injury.

The 28-year-old has only managed seven games since the end of 2016 and didn’t play a single game in 2019 due to ongoing issues with his troublesome foot.

Simon Goodwin got new skipper Max Gawn back against the Hawks, but doesn’t look like having vandenBerg for the trip to face West Coast in Round 1.

Smith, AVB, KK.... starting to sound familiar

Throw in Nietschke as well, and the band is back together. Time for this club to grow some balls and make some tough decisions on players who can't get on the field regularly. Bad luck only stretches so far - at some point you have to accept that certain players don't have the bodies to play at AFL level.

Early prognosis

Weideman rolled his ankle against Hawthorn on Friday night but should be available for the season-opener against West Coast. But the luckless vandenBerg could be set for another stint on the sidelines after pulling up sore against the Hawks. Max Gawn played half a game against the Hawks and has declared himself a starter for round one, while Steven May also got through on his comeback from his own knee issue. Mystery continues to surround Joel Smith's fitness, given his absence from pre-season hitouts. - Jennifer Phelan

I don't believe the Weideman/vandenBerg information here is based on anything official. It's most likely conjecture based on the little facts we already know.

According to SEN, Harley Bennell has suffered another “slight” calf strain which will set his recovery back again. 

Christian Salem’s illness is glandular fever - he’s an outside chance to return for round 1.

BENNELL SUFFERS ANOTHER CALF INJURY IN LATEST INJURY SETBACK

This might be the MFCSS talking and I don't think I'm going out on a limb here but I don't think Harley will ever play a game for the Demons.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
