I think everyone saw that one coming. 0 need to risk one of our most important players in round 2, especially given the mounting injury toll to our backline and having lost Salem for a third of the year. 
Rivers is a good replacement for Salem from a like for like opponent matchup perspective so at least that’s something.

    Here is a previously unreleased image of Jake Lever sustaining his plantar fascia injury.

    Hope to see you back out there next week, Rick!

    Playing in Southern Queensland at night reduces the need for talls, too. I suspect that made it an even easier decision to hold Lever back.

    So one of the ‘bros’ from the Deebrief podcast is saying that he is hearing whispers that Lever’s injury is much worse than reported.

    Take of that blah blah blah.

    I just came on here to post that I'd heard the same thing from someone who has a relatively good connection to the club.

    Doesn't sound promising. Hopefully not much in the rumours and he is back sooner rather than later.

    But also why would you risk Lever or Hibbo in a round 3 game against a side that don’t have much of a forwardline either.

    I thought we were past playing cute little games with our injured players, but Petty, Lever and Hibberd are now all well outside the timeframes initially provided for their returns.

    If Lever's injury is really that bad, just let us know and we'll move on.

    Why do we need to know?

    They are showing Hibbo and Lever one week, Petty 2 - 3 weeks and Salo 5 - 7 weeks and Turner 4 - 5. So could be closer than we thought.!!

    Don't like the sound of Lever's foot. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a 10-12 week injury.

    I’m slightly concerned about the handling of our injuries compared to last yr. 
    Salem came back to early, Riv looked proppy on the weekend and some of the current injuries Hibbo, Petty times keep getting pushed out.

    Is the Salem injury related to his pre-season one? Or is it a completely new and unrelated problem?

    6 players, 5 defenders, 4 premiership players

    Despite this our defence seems to be hanging in there.  Says a lot about depth.

    Sounds like Lever is still at least 2 weeks away as well:

    “Jake is still experiencing a bit of swelling and pain in his foot. We thought he might be playing as early as this week, but that won’t be the case. It looks like he’ll need at least need another week, which is disappointing, but we don’t want to risk anything there.”

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
