WEST Coast spearhead Jack Darling has suffered a pre-season setback after fracturing his cheekbone at training. He will miss the first Marsh Series match and is unlikely to play in the second game. May be available for Round 1 against the Demons.

Jeremy McGovern & Tom Barrass are likely to miss the start of the season.

A little love tap from May might be in order early on. 

Demonland would go into meltdown if May got himself suspended in the first game!

McGovern set to miss round one, which is a huge out for WC.

If we got the win I wouldn't care haha

 

Is this thread serious, other AFL sides having injury issues

According to Dland we are the only club this happens to and it's because 

We are cursed

We didn't go on a camp

We haven't changed our captains 

Our players are involved in contact drills

On a serious note 

Eagles bigman stocks for Rd 1

McGovern wont play

Barass wont play

Oscar Allen possibly play underdone

Hickey 50/50

Simpson said it’s a possibility but in no way confirmed that he misses.

 


I couldn't care less who they play or don't. If we are going to be any good we have to win this 1st round, not only for players own confidence but for the club as a whole plus of course relieves the pressure on the coach with a first up win. We can do it with who ever plays for us or them.

Hagdorn - "Jesse Hogan won't play for Fremantle ever again"

Demonland posters - "Hagdorn is a hack journalist, rarely gets anything right"

 

Hagdorn - "McGovern and Barrass won't play early rounds of the AFL season"

Demonland - "McGovern and Barrass are going to be huge outs for our first game"

Why wouldn't this thread be serious - there's always an oppo watch thread prior to every game

On our last years form, you'd just play McGovern and Barass on one leg each and just watch our forward 50 entries be marked with ease by them on every occasion.  Hopefully we've learnt a bit.............Hope.

Have a glance over training reports and responses whenever a player goes down at training.

Deelanders carry on like we are the only club this happens to

Or when Darling gets a cheekbone injury, some say he will still play round one. 

If that happened to a Melbourne player they would instantly write him off for the first four rounds of the season.

I would be far more interested in the availability of these two; Jeff Dalgleish and Dean Margetts. If they are selected it will have way more influence on the outcome of the game.

With some justification.

Particularly if they say 4-6 weeks and will be right to go round 1.

Oh, I forgot about him, he's the apprentice and takes his lead from his "mentors".

This from his bio; “AFL umpires Dean Margetts, Jeff Dalgleish and Luke Farmer have shown me the professionalism required to succeed at AFL level and particularly over the last two years as a rookie, we have built strong relationships".

Wonder if he's building "strong relationships" with the WC players like his mentors. I would suggest they would make a strong cast in a Jim Henson movie but it's the fact they are so blatantly biased that really gets to me. Gill the dill would be a major character in a Henson movie too, no doubt.

A win in the west, with any 2 of this lot officiating, would be truly monumental.

Wise - that would be 4-6!

Nah we don't need full time umpires though

Has anyone at Meth Coke died over Summer?

Flatlined, hung out with Benny or done a Chris Mainwarring?

What a Club, got a way with it all and that same CEO is in charge

I could cop a few Suspensions this year

Hit them hard. Who remembers the game in 1989 over there

John Northey had to be restrained by the players from Punching on

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
