Awful news. Poor bloke just can't catch a break. It'll take a mammoth effort to come back after this.

    that was the worst notification i've ever received on twitter, can't imagine how he's feeling

    Life can be terribly unfair sometimes and my sympathies go out to the young man.

    As an aside, it's disappointing that the club's article linked above kept spelling his name wrong.

    One topic you don’t want to see as ‘Hot’.

    Bloody hell, a third time before Aaron even got a chance to play one game. Cruel, cruel, cruel.

    This must be Vanders first pre-season in about 4 years not starting in the rehab group. Hopefully he and Nietschke will have uninterrupted pre-seasons this time around. 

    Agreed. I thought we missed Vanders in the praccy match against the Tigers. His impact (take that as you may) was sorely needed on a couple of opposition smart Are Says in their lineup. He instils a team-wide element of determination commonly known as 'mongrel' where brave contests might be calling ... and we needed his straightline forward entries, as well. Few take him on, so to speak.

    We might need more recruits through SSP Supplemental top up program.  I’d definitely be looking at Angus Baker (who was training with the Dons) and Will Bravo (who is training with the Hawks).

    On last years form Milkshake doesn't deserve a place in Round1. IMO he will have to produce form above his 2019 and 2020 average  (Or best ). Not good Enough and experience and tagging role drummed up to keep him in is not good enough.

    I'd reckon Milkshake is aware of the clamour for him to earn a spot in the team and would expect him to bear this ever-present in his mind. He is an asset when on song - a very good asset to the team and to much-needed scoring opportunities.

    Galluci from the Crows currently training with tigers is well worth a look. Went off the rails in Adelaide a bit but worthy of a second chance.

    SEN talking about bringing in a Chocco boy from Werribee called Kye Declase. invited to train today. Tall defender. 195cm. Most improved player for them last year apparently.

    Three spots now available on the list.  Given the injury curse so far, we will need more foot soldiers for 2021. 

    I think it is four.  Two carryover post draft plus LTI:  Hore and Nieta.

    So additional players could be Majak, Deakyn, Farmer jr and Declase.  Not sure we need another defender unless a current one eg Petty/Smith is to play fwd.  But would trust Choco's judgement of talent.

    If it is 4, you'd assume they may keep one up their sleeve for mid-season?

    vanders is a btec viney and we missed he/brayshaw more than vanders as inside mids as they offer more with ball in hand whilst also having his attack on the ball, particularly JV

    tim lamb was adamant we would take a pick to the MSD given covid affected season in vic and the tendency for top players to come from obscurity in their 18th year. David Noble was also on and he said north didn't even bother with trainon players and will take their spot to the MSD where theyd get you'd imagine 1st/2nd crack

    I wasn't suggesting we should use all 4 spots.  I was responding to a poster to say there are 4 spots, rather than 3, so there is room for all 4 players currently training with us IF the club wanted.

    AFL site:

    Demons midfielder Jack Viney is facing an uphill battle to return from foot surgery for round one, but Angus Brayshaw will play in a VFL practice match this weekend as he makes his bid to play in the season opener. Kysaiah Pickett should also be in the frame, with the exciting forward to return to Victoria on Sunday after being allowed to travel to Perth for personal reasons due to a family bereavement. Jake Melksham is another that has his eyes set on a round one return, having dealt with a hamstring complaint. Key forward duo Ben Brown (knee) and Sam Weideman (leg) will both miss the opening stages of the season and could still be around two months away in their recoveries. Meanwhile, youngster Aaron Nietschke is set to miss the entire season after cruelly rupturing his ACL for the third time. – Riley Beveridge

    Does anyone know if the two months quoted applies to Ben Brown as well as Weideman. The initial thoughts for Ben Brown when he was operated on was 4-6.

    Not sure but BBB should be ready to start running about now,

    In an interview discussed here: 

    Goodwin said of B.Brown and Weideman:  "They're both on track, pretty much in line with each other..."we'll have to manage that as a team. They'll both obviously come back through the VFL, so we'll get a good indication as to when they're ready to play AFL footy."

    So whatever the time frame is it applies to both and we may not see them in the seniors for quite a while..

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
