Heading back to our usual injury list numbers, 8 to 12, year after year?

 

  • Demonland changed the title to Pruess Knee Injury (8-10 Weeks)

It's a shame for the big fella and we might need to look at the state league options just in case either of Preuss or Gawn get delayed in their rehab heading in to the season, but 8-10 weeks is 2-4 for the real stuff.

In a more flexible system we'd have a 3rd mature ruck bought in just to give a chop out in the first couple of preseason games, but without that we now should get a good look at Jackson, Bradtke and even rotate the key forwards through.

As long as we don't overtax him and allow for a few mistakes I think Jackson will show he's up for it in the preseason and ready for round 1 as the limited minutes back up.

 

This is just getting ridiculous, I’m starting to rage. Get ready Luke Jackson to be the main man for round 1.

Calm down my friend.  It's just an injury.


8-10 for Pruess will mean he isnt right this year. probably look a million dollars 1st November for Pre-season.

Not sure that is correct. 5 weeks before the season starts, so he is only missing the first few games of the year. 

I didnt say missing. I said not right.

Pretty sure we still have a spare list spot due to the Nietschke injury, so wort case scenario we can call up a replacement.

Liam Buxton any chance?

I know Mitch Brown can back-up ruck. 
Any thoughts on whether he could be the main man in a pinch?

That was going to be my first thought, perhaps we have a mix of using TMac, Weid, Brown, and Jackie in the pre-season to avoid further injuries. Gawn is supposedly going to be good for round one, but losing Preuss has definitely hurt our depth. Shame for the bloke too, he really seemed be taking the pre-season head on.

Anyone got Cam Pedersen's number?

Preuss literally does... 

Luke Jackson, come on down!!!

Unlucky for Preuss. He looked like he worked extremely hard in the off season. This will test our depth early on, an opportunity arises for someone else and let’s hope they grab it.

Look forward not backwards 

Trust Jackson or Weid to second ruck 

If I hear another Pedersen or Garlett memory let's go back to Ivor Warne Smith or Don Cordner for the very best !!!

In 2017 we survived and we will again!

THats underestimating medical personal and cultural Procedures at the Club snd Pruess determination to succeed.

 

Is Tomlinson an option to Ruck as well? I remember GWS used him there in the finals last year, I could be wrong.

At least he will be fresh for the second half of the season when a spare ruckman is of most value assuming Gawn is fit for the start. Gives Jackson an opportunity to have a game if we need to play two ruckman.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
