Long time lurker. First time poster. Fan since I was in nappies. 

In which case you don't pay enough attention. There is nothing like having an exchange with Mazer to educate about the personalities on Dland.

I'm happy enough it's not season ending.

If we are good enough to be in the top 4 or 6 when he returns then get him cherry ripe for the second half of the season. I know we have too many back-men out at the moment but I think Hunt, Tomlinson, Joel Smith get a chance to play and prove themselves and Brayshaw and Tom McD were great in defence on Wednesday night meaning Bedford gets his chance up the field.

In a sense theres no use having great depth unless you get to use it and develop it.

Having said all that does anyone know the timeframe for Petty, Rivers and Lever to return?

Expect 6-8 weeks 

Yep Id say probably back in 8 just to be safe but you never know it could be earlier. Had the same thing done a couple of times and your usually walking about quite easily in a week . Club may play it safe.

He  is a huge loss.

But J. Smith was good and Bowey continues his great career.

Lever back soon.

Hunt and Tmac options.

Young Bedford looked promising.

pS Would be great if the club updated its website injury report......still has Marty Hore out for the season as injured.

3 to 4 weeks only ! BANK ON IT 

Cheers PF

Sorry PF, I think it’s 4-6

i don’t know what is going on but despite the fact that Salem is absolutely one of our most important players, I am completely unworried (just in case that is not a real word- don’t hate me dworship).

Does this mean my MFCSS is cured?!

The walking is one thing, I had a severe hip fracture last June and was walking again two days later. I am nowhere near 100 after 9 months. Ofcourse Chris has about 40 years and elite fitness on me! 😉

T Mac tore his meniscus that day.

Funny (not funny) that he finally played a ripping game that year and then his season was over.

As for Salem, 6 weeks or under is a good result here. Rather he out at the start of the year than the business end. 

Correct BBP I am glad you clarified that injury as I believed it was an ankle type injury not his knee.  Indeed Tmac has had ankle problems rather than knees.

Oh and back once or twice. But he is a great team member and forward it back is valuable eith his height and strength. Often dies far more than the average supporter gives him credit for. Just like Kossie and ANB and Harmesy to a lesser extent.

Yes he is… but he’ll be bk for the pointy end of the season when it really matters. I’m sure hunt or smith  will appreciate the extra spot opening down back too.  

Petty still 3-4 weeks away? I thought he was almost ready?

Despite all the pre season chatter, we haven’t had to actually choose between Tommo and Petty yet!

I’m wondering if we keep Tmac down back until Petty is ready to return and this opens up the door for Weideman to try and prove he belongs at senior level. 

I suspect TMac will stay back if Lever is not ready to come back. Once Lever is fit, I think TMac returns forward.

If we want another tall in the interim, Weideman gets that spot. Personally, I think we should be going in with Brown, TMac/Weid, Gawn/Jackson and Fritsch, so I'd be bringing Weideman in if TMac has to play defence.

Petty can also play forward.

I'm not sure he will, though.

Like, are we really going to bring Petty in to play forward whilst keeping TMac down back? 

No but do we need Lever, Tomlinson, May and Petty in the same backline?

If Tomlinson is playing good footy and Tmac struggles up forward as he did second half of last season and Weideman is giving us nothing, why wouldn’t you try Petty?

He is too good to play VFL.

No, I don't think we're going to go into any game this year with all four of them in the backline.

But swinging Petty forward would IMO be a move of pretty much last resort.

I think Tomlinson will have to play pretty strong football prior to Petty's return to hold him out of the side. But if TMac/Weid are playing well in the forward line the discussion will be moot as there won't be a forward spot anyway.

Lots of ifs - Tomo going well AND TM struggling AND Weed not up to it.  Mmmm, if all the ifs line up, maybe. Not highly likely though.

You wouldn't play Lever, Tomlinson, May and Petty together in the backline in  the same match if it means you omit one of Rivers or Bowey, unless it was about team balance or match ups.

As  much as we want our best six defenders each week, this injury affected start enables us to trial peripheral or second tier defenders to see what they bring. The thing is we already know what their expected to do and they usually do it in our system.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
