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.

    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!

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
