Pic #15 - Melksham at training. Hammy injury seemingly mild if that is the case...

Either Melksham is doing his rehab and out for 3 weeks or Tom Browne was wrong.

It surely can't be the latter.

    He also just had a baby.

    Understandable then if he didn't train. My wife assures me childbirth is pretty draining

    Looks like @picket fence got there too late to see the Forwards and Mids.

    Clearly, he will need to set his alarm clock for much earlier in future.  Simply not good enough to let us down like that!  he should give himself a good slap!

    With the new standing the mark rule. I can see teams using players with pace i.e. Bowey and Hunt as runners off half back taking a handball and running. The player on the mark can’t even attempt to block it.

    would anyone care here if Laurie and Bowey played round 1 ahead of melksham, hibberd, Jetta etc?

    Bowey in the backline.  Wonder if he has been identified as the Jetta replacement or a different kind of role?

    They drafted him with the idea of him being our Caleb Daniel.

    I reckon Bowey could well line up in our defensive 7 in the early rounds.  we need speed, kicking skills and decision making and he seems to have those

    But shirley Hunt plays fwd. especially with Melk and others injured

    Don't call him shirley!

    Interesting to see Neitschke with the mids, I could’ve swore he was a defender when he was drafted

    i doubt it. from what i've seen of him he looks a winger/flanker type.

    Maybe a role like Salem’s which lets Salem push onto the wing?

    Remember when we played the kids early for years on end and never got any better? Let’s no repeat that as a philosophy.

    I expect Laurie will be. I’m not sure we’ll put a 175cm 70kg defender out in round 1 unless he impresses in the scratch games. 
     

    Jetta and Hibberd are competing with others for a back pocket spot. Melksham was training with the mids. There’s others that they are competing with for spots anyway.

    yeah Bowey might be able to release Salem for a bit of that. i think Bowey will end up on the wing eventually once his running is up to it.

    Salem will never move to the wing. It’s a gut running position that doesn’t suit his game which is elite distribution out of traffic. The aim should be to move him on ball but we need 2 more additions to the half back kicking ranks before we move him not 1. And we need to clear some of the mids out.

    In the meantime we can hopefully get Salem and some combination of Bowey, Lockhart, Rivers and even Hunt providing rebound. Richmond use the trio of Houli, Short and Baker to constantly countering with pace and skill.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
