May will play Marsh Series Game 2. Max Gawn the same. McDonald also overcoming a minor setback. Likely to play Marsh 2. 

There is a fair chance that none of those things will happen, particularly May. What makes you so sure?

Do we pick 26 for the Marsh games? I'd suggest we'll only just be able to field a full side this week based on recent updates.

Wish I had your confidence. May has been out for 5 weeks already when it was thought to be very minor originally (new setback last week).

I hope you are right!

Suspect Smith was also.Barring unforeseen mishaps Gawn, Tmac & May almost certain starters for the Hawthorn game going by the banter in the rehab group. AVB no show. Petty is a worry.

Are we still playing Essendon this Friday or is Casey turning up? Interesting to see how many fit players don’t get selected for the Marsh Series opener. 

They ought to cancel the Essendon hitout as we're running our of players:

Here is the side for Saturday if we go ultra conservative and disregard players who are either currently injured, in rehab or have been in rehab for a large part of pre season:

B Jetta O Mac Hibberd

HB Harmes Lever Salem

C Langdon  Petracca Jones

HF Hunt  Weed   ANB

F  Fristch   Brown  Pickett

FOLL Jackson Oliver  Viney

INT J Wagner  Hore  Lockhart

       Sparrow   Jordan  Bedford  

Rivers is literally the one and only player I couldn't sneak in. But could put him in for one of the others on the bench.

Unavailable - T Mac, Gawn, Brayshaw, Tomlinson, Preuss, Spargo, Hannan, Melksham, Petty, J Smith, VDB, May, Neita, Chandler and who ever else I've overlooked.

And hopefully all OK with T Mac.

The most recent training report indicated he rolled his ankle and didn't complete training.

(unless you believe the Friday training report when Lever kicked 6 on Weideman, and T Mac kicked 3 sausages in match sim)

The vision shows, he is just a little bit proppy on that knee. just a little.

 I'd reckon he'll be back into main group within 7 to 10 days.?   Just a hiccup, so far.

Tom McDonald with ongoing knee management. Hopefully he comes good this year. He's possibly the most important player on our list at the moment, as he's our only proven big goal kicker.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/374096/big-demons-forward-joins-all-australian-ruckman-in-rehab-group

That's OK,  we need our number two's in all positions to get more exposure, with some chop outs from our more experienced guys;  so the 2ic's get the support they need,  so they can take the game on with confidence.

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/tp-melbourne-demons?year=2020&sby=15

It will be our 2ic's,  that take us to the big Dance in Springtime. 

And looking through our youngest list players,  we have some talent there, to develop.  The future looks bright.

It's getting to that point with our current  2ic's,  the 26Yrs and younger,  who i think will be our regular finals nuclei. 

 

Now for 2020,  and lets give the top 8,  a shake.

I thought it was an ankle. So much for our crack team of Demonland Trackwatchers.

He might have something separate with his knee but it was definitely an ankle/foot issue on Wednesday.

That is, unless T Mac's knee ends at his heel.

Think you'll find Brayshaw, Tomlinson, J Smith and O Baker might have a run somewhere. Not sure of the seriousness of Dunkley's ankle either.

Don't they essentially mean the same thing?

I was being a little facetious but it is probably up for debate.

They need to 'confirm' the severity of the injury before 'advising' of the potential length?

Ugh.

Who really cares.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
