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

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
