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

ย 

  • 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, Iโ€™m starting to rage. Get ready Luke Jackson to be the main manย for round 1.ย

Calm down my friend.ย  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.ย 

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.ย 
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.ย

Anyone got Cam Pedersen's number?

Preuss literally does...ย 

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 letโ€™s hope they grab it.ย

Look forward not backwardsย 

Trust Jackson or Weid to second ruckย 

If I hear another Pedersen or Garlett memory let's go back to Ivor Warne Smith or Don Cordner forย 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.

ย 

Is Tomlinson an option to Ruckย 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 assumingย Gawn is fit for the start. Gives Jackson an opportunity to have a game if we need to play two ruckman.ย

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chancesโ€”plenty of themโ€”but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Portโ€™s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
