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.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
