Great another injury plagued Nth player on our list 

who's the other one?

if you mean bbb, he has only missed games due to injury in 2020 (played 9/17 games).  played 22 games in each of the previous 5 years after debuting in his initial season in round 14 playing all remaining games including finals.

hardly "injury plagued"

Not a bad retort.

read the injury report done knee just training.Also you cant compare them as players

 

Poor fwd, average ruck and decent Backman. 
doesnt make a lot of sense to me. We have some average fwd back up options, we don’t need more

If we were after a ruck back up I’d have preferred we picked a youngish ruckman from the vfl or other lower levels that might develop

Surprised that the Pies didn't snap him up.

 

Now that is the post of day ha ha ha

Why is it Bizarre? We have just had 2 big forwards go down as well as Marty Hore for the season

 He is a liability on the field,  thats why.

I admire him for getting back to playing sport after what he went through but there is a reason he was playing for North Heidelberg up until today.

Would be handy if he could recapture some of this form.

 

This pre season is going from bad to worse. If MD plays due to injuries we are absolutely shot. Great he has overcome obstacles but another injury prone player from a bottom club. Complete waste of time

Smacks of desperation. 

But with your two key forwards out of action, and a dodgy old TMac as a a fill-in, a bunch of small to medium sized players with nothing to crumb, the Daw experiment is understandable but bound to fail. 

What would I do?  Dunno but the footy season like Covid, maybe another year of endurance, patience and stoicism. Joy maybe something to hope for in another winter of discontent.

interesting post earlier Re oscar and correct why dump oscar who has no baggage to bring and employ a bloke whohas truck loads of baggage

God no rather Daw. 

If his mind and body are good to go then getting a life line when he was prepared to play local footy could just be the kick in the pants and HUGE motivator for him to play good footy again. 
 

You just never know  it’s worth the risk imo.

Majak Daw has done more in his career than Oscar. A big Yes from me! Just a feeling

Strength, speed, leap, to name a few. Probably the same amount of footy IQ. 


1 hour ago, forever demons said:

no no and no we dont need another injury prone player may as well bring back HB for another chance

I’ve had a big weekend....who’s HB?

Thanks.

If Majak can prove his fitness both mentally and physically - it's a yes from me. There are 42 odd blokes on a list - he won't be the worst on the list and might just prove a good back up option when needed.

 

If nothing else the blow up from the negative nancies on here would well worth the price of admission ???

Desperation my ar.e, they have 2 list spots available, 2 forwards have gone down, they are being proactive.

Thanks.

a project player who left us during the hub lockdown in queensland

I don’t understand the hostility to this idea.

He gets a 12-month contract on small money and provides cover only.  Seems a pretty low risk straight forward back up option to me.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
