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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
