Recommended Posts

The injury list has been pared back a little and the good news is that Brock McLean is available this week and Clint Bartram is also available after a long lay off due to that ankle injury suffered in round 22 last year. Jace Bode's back however, seems to be deteriorating:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) available

Jace Bode (back) 3-4 weeks

Brock McLean (thigh) available

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 1 week

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 1 week

Isaac Weetra (hamstring) 1 week

Any news on Daniel Hayes appreciated especially by dazzledavey36.

Last week's injury list was:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jace Bode (back) 2 - 3 weeks

Ben Holland (hip) test

Travis Johnstone (foot) test

Brock McLean (thigh) 1 week

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 2 -3 weeks

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Paul Wheatley (ankle) test

Holland, Johnstone and Wheatley all made it through their tests and played in practice matches at the weekend.

Very happy. Will be supprised if Bartram has as good a year as 06 but u cant blame him due to injurey and little preseason. Any news on Moloney...will he be back to his stellar season he had with Geelong.

Saw that Saints have massive injury issues. Hammil, Kosi, Reiwoldt, R Clark, Hudghton, Guardner. Looks good so far. Hopefully Guerig will try and dodge Caroll again and rub him out for the season. I would LOVE that :D

Sylvia is 1 week like I'm 1 week!! Sylvia is closer to 2 months, despite reports.

Correct, and don't get excited about Bartram either.

His ankle may have healed, but he has a fair few weeks of fitness training before he's ready to play. He will most likely play a couple of half games at Sandy, before they contemplate selecting him in the side.

As for Sylvia, Round 8 would be a good result.

Word is that Col is a long way off still. The upside is that if he recovers and then plays 3 weeks for Sandy and comes through ok, he'll be as keen as mustard come mid-season/serious end. I have an awful feeling however that even this is optimistic, but I wish him the best.

Despite what some might think simply playing games is going to be the best way to get Bartram fit for a return to AFL level.

Does anyone actually know the full story on Sylvia. I know we had to wait quite a while to get the best out of Trav, and patience is important with young players. The story is that the kid can seriously play and I am willing to wait as long as it takes and stand by the bloke for a few years if we have to - and I hope we do. It's just frustrating not getting to see him out on the field week in and week out. Brock has already become a star and he was picked in the same draft. I dare say that Sylvia might already be classed as good as Brock if he'd had a couple of pre-seasons and 50 games under his belt. It's sad that the kid just can't take a trick at the moment. Can anyone shed more light?

He's got OP, and it's a condition that he's had since before he was drafted.

I think he was badly managed as a youngster, and now our club is trying to solve this problem for him.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
