Hopefully Jones gets up for round 1. First I've heard of this and praying it's minor. 

Great to hear Joel Smith back training with the main group too. 

Hannan can take his time, we have an array of small forwards now in Milkman, Fritsch, Kozzy,  Spargo and Bedford so I'd rather us be really patient with him and let him recover to full health. 

This is actually a pretty solid outcome.

    I'm absolutely gutted for AvB, the fact it's a broken foot but not even related to his previous recurring problems just makes you wonder what he has to do?

    Does Jones account for 280 or so of our games tally, out of 361?  

    The whole injuries and being on the fringes of the best 22 changes dramatically this year.  No longer can you impress selectors with repeated bogs  on the frozen tundras of Casey fields, nor can you ease back from a long term injury getting match fitness into the legs whilst battling the hurricanes down there. 

    Makes the selectors job all the more difficult,  probably means training intensity will be consistently high as players try and out train their selection rivals.

    I suppose the whole team could be said to be 4-6 these days.

    Fingers crossed for no home basketball injuries or the like.

    I think only Bennell, Vandenburg, KK and Nietschke would be unavailable.  All the rest should be fit (or close to) and ready.
     

    I’d scrap any practice matches. Training should be allowed from perhaps early June.  I’d say a 3 week pre season and then it’s likely a July-October season.  4 months.  No crowds (very very sad). 
     

    24 players. 6 on the bench.  16 minutes plus time on.  Finals could be 18 minutes plus time on.

    Hmmm Mitch Hannan, was undecided about him until I watched our highlights during this shut down. Has some important moments.

    He was so off the pace last year in his handful of games, because of injury.

    However, round 1 proved we have a very average forward line so his goal kicking nous will be required at some stage this year.

    I get the feeling we could go through an iceage for a millennium, then on return see Van den burg - progressing well.

    You're suggesting that getting him back to full health is a mammoth task?

    ** Opportunity lost!**. “Mammoth tusk” for full points!

    I’m afraid Vdberger may be added to the long list of Dees whose career was destroyed by injury. ?

    He's already on the list whether he fully recovers from this latest injury or not. I have my fingers and toes crossed for him.

    Will be interesting to see how those recovering go when they return back, I'm sure they've done mountains of work to get back to health but getting minutes into them in match simulation will be key to see if they can handle return to matches.

    will be interesting if when list numbers are cut for next year clubs are allowed to pay out contracted players in a manner that does not impact the salary cap.

    Seems sensible save that it would let Sydney out of the Buddy clause

    interesting to read that bennell is training with the 'second' mid group, of which jones is a part

    from the looks of the happy snaps, first mid group is gawn, oliver, viney, brayshaw, petracca, and tomlinson

    presumably one other as i think they're training in groups of seven?

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
