Harmes to the midfield makes us a better team. As soon as he’s fit again we’ll go backwards

    Big statements. 
     

    Wanna try backing them up with why you think this?

    Not sure about that chook, I reckon under Burgess we tend to report longer term injuries as 4-5 week proposition, it comes across a bit more precise.

    The Rugby player will be no loss. Just chuck Harmes in the midfield

    Not ideal considering Brayshaw is also behind the eight ball this pre season. Ah well I guess Harmes and possibly Sparrow or Jordan might get a run in the middle.

    and when you promised to leave Demonland forever when Salem got us up over the Bombers after the siren, you should have stuck to it

    I respect and admire Jack immensely but we are over stocked with inside mids and I don’t think he’s the best of them. His disposal is hardly line breaking and he can’t play in any other position. Harmes offers greater run, is equal at putting others out of the game and I believe he’s more versatile.

    Given the Trengove experience I wouldn't mind if we kept him out of all running drills for 12 weeks .

    Keep him on the bike and swimming for cardio and let him wrestle bears for upper body conditioning.

    There is no reason to compare injuries when they are vastly different.  Viney seems to a minor issue and there is no reason to think otherwise unless advised.  The club won’t come out and say it’s minor if they think it a major issue, particularly with Burgo in charge

    Great opportunity for Sparrow to really step up now.

    While the prior plantar fascia injury was to his right foot I hope we are really careful with this injury to his left foot.  His left is his kicking foot and as he has no 'right side' an early return risks his effectiveness on the field. 

    I'm not fussed if he misses some early games, we have plenty of coverage which we didn't have 3-4 years ago.  Better that he is 100%.

    It's a worry for sure given his history but at least its an area where we have good depth. Harmes or Jordan to step into the breach perhaps!

    Sparrow ahead of both of those two for a Viney interchange for mine.

    It does make you wonder why you’d give him a 200 year contract considering our plentiful supply of inside mids. Harmes, Bradshaw, Oliver, Sparrow, Jordan. Do we actually even need him?

    I tend to agree there is much more space around the ball without him even though I love his toughness

    Unfortunately as usual we have given him a long contract coz he "bleeds red and blue"

    I've no preference. whoever shows the most in pre-season should get the spot.

    Viney has got to be the weirdest choice for forum whipping boy in the history of Demonland.

    Foot injuries are always concerning; we've had plenty and I can't remember a single one turning out to be minor.

    It's interesting to watch replays some time after matches. I watched the GWS replay the other night. Viney was far better than I remembered. Melksham was deplorable. Kozzie buzzed in and out, but missed so many gettable shots. Weideman was very poor.

    Oh no....Casey the new Goschs. :)

    Wishing him a speedy recovery, we’re a better team with Jack in it.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
