Never thought I'd be saying this after the first few rounds of the season, but we will really miss having Hibberd in the side if he does miss this week.  I think it would be sensible to give him this game off so he can be cherry ripe for the Freo match, but he has been terrific since making his way back into the side.

 

Makes his effort in coming back on and laying a crucial tackle even more valiant.

I must have missed something - what is the nature of Angus' foot tendon injury?  

Was it an in game impact or some chronic strain?

 

Also any inside info on how Jackson has been training and / or scratch matches?

Burgo's replacement seems pretty bullish around us making finals with Jones' prognosis.

I'd have termed it Season rather than 1 week. Even if we do make the finals.

 

In the 'Captain's Run' Gus said his foot is a lisfranc injury.  Says he heard it pop in the Sydney game and it would have been better to not have come back on.

Expects to be ready to run at the start of the preseason.

Much much  better than navicular.

This is a relief. I was worried that he'd miss a chunk of it given the duration.


We've had a really good run with injury this year compared to other sides as well as our previous seasons.

Really hope it continues next year as it should allow us to once again contend for the 8.

The lisfranc injury sounds familiar, I thought that was the one that Mitch Clark had with us (hopefully if ti is it's a significantly lower severity).

Dees

Brayshaw ? 

Jones ?

Bombers

Mcgrath ?

Fantasia ?

Heppell ?

 

Apart from these blokes, both teams have probably best part of best 22 available.  I think we left Sparrow Harmes Jackson out due to maintaining winning team  

 

We’ve had a fairly good run with injury this year. The best we’ve had I  a fair few years.

Im not sure if I should feel good about this, or very annoyed about sitting firmly in the middle of the road given the circumstances.

Just a shoulder clean out for Clarry. Shouldn't cause him too much grief over the pre season.

How many off-season surgeries do we have this year?

Apparently had a second shoulder reconstruction, first one didn't repair as they would have liked.

Played the majority of the year in pain with it.

So which one is it?

I really wish there was more transparency from the club in regards to injuries and in particular post season surgeries. Afterall post season surgeries were blamed for our poor 2019 season.

I'm not suggesting that detailed medical histories be released but it would be nice to be reassured that we are not going to go into the preseason as the walking wounded.

  • 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.
