BIG RED SIGNING IN:

Completely unrelated. Don't see a huge amount of soft tissue injuries as you would expect if it were BB related.

Agreed.

Two soft tissue injuries. One of which is no doubt related to weight.

The 3 knee injuries are just bad luck. Thankfully none appear to be long-term, season-ending stuff.

Davey's ankle has been suspect since he hurt it at pre-season training.

Frawley is in his first year and obviously pushed his body too much too quickly.

The only question mark I have over Bodhan, is whether he has any influence over the way we're rotating our midfielders.

We're doing it far too often IMO, and it's hurting our midfield rhythm.

Agree brfe. You can't attribute people dislocating, breaking and otherwise damaging bones to the new fitness coach. If it was soft tissue injuries then yes, he would probably have a case to answer.

And of the three whose damage is muscle related, one only has soreness because he is overweight and unfit.

interesting you should say that because in the age today there were stats on interchanges made per quarter and we were much lower than hawthorn...maybe thats because we had less players on the bench than them with injuries...

i think you should have your best players on most of the time, and they should come off when they need too...but its not going to happen like that...

I personally don't think it is his problem directly, but I honestly think, and I always have, that the Demons low quality training facilities (as compared to most other clubs) is the cause of the continuous soft tissue injuries we are plagued by.

I don't see why, 10 minutes into a quarter, our entire midfield gets rotated.

What happpened to starting each quarter with your best players at the bounce of the ball, and letting them run for 20 minutes?

Maybe I notice it more because I sit near the bench now and all I ever see is player A coming on, player B coming off, then player A coming on again 5 minutes later.

How is anyone supposed to get a feel for the footy, especially at the crucial centre bounces, when they are constantly running on and off the ground?

Also, was his hamstring soreness the reason Rivers kept coming off the ground yesterday? He never spends time on the bench usually.

I think it was his lack of conditioning due to interrupted pre-season, coupled with Franklin running him into the ground. Franklin's speed and endurance are phenomenal for someone so big.

We've won both of our last quarters this year and clearly showed we have a bigger fitness base than both St Kilda and Hawthorn resepectively. So BB is not to blame for our poor start or shocking run with non-soft tissue injuries. Its our confidence,skill level and coaching that has let us down and leaves us at 0-2.

Agree totally unrelated.

Now, to those who agree that the knees and 'impact injuries' are just bad luck, and I cannot see that they are anything else - how many of you still say that luke Molan was a dud and a bad bit of CAC recruiting???

His horror spate of injuries were all "inpact injuries".

We jsut never got the opportunity to see if he was any good or not. Nobody's fault.

im not blaming anyone, and i doubt it is the fitness guys fault, as i am sure that there are the proper people working on core strength etc to keep the injuries in check, but it is interesting to note, especially after the problems at hawthorn...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
