John Lord for me.  Ye olde Number 4 could also take grabs down forward and slot a few goals. He could also bring it to ground for Barassi, Ridley and Adams-all renowned goal kickers. Hassa would also be lurking close by!

Stop it, you guys. It hurts to remember ... such great players, such memories and then we realise their demise and the silent years that followed. Oh, it was absolutely fabulous, so continue. Just reading the above four sentences everything they did floods back at that is a real pleasure. What about Vagg, Bourke and others including the excellence of Norm the Smith?

a hammy strain for Gawn is clearly bad news given his age and importance to the side. the next block of preseason 4-5 is arguably the most important so let’s hope it is very minor. 

with Schache pretty much our only real option after Grundy, and a poor one at that, we need a bit of luck with injuries in the ruck department 

Gawn injury update…

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1263999/gawn-injury-update

 

“Max was closely monitored over the weekend, and we were really pleased with how his hamstring settled.”  — Melbourne head of medical Dr Laura Lallenec. 


So effectively our injury list includes Max Gawn (hamstring but not serious), Angus Brayshaw (awaiting results of scans but training), Jake Lever (ankle issues - dating back to the 2022 semi final?), AMW, Joel Smith and train on player Trent Burgoyne and newbies Adams & Verrall.

Round 1 

May - hamstring TBC 

Salem - thyroid TBC 

Fritsch - foot - round 2/3

Viney - knee - TBC 

4 key players out. Arguably 4 of our best 10 players.

According to today’s Herald Sun ~

“While the Dees will lose star forward Kysaiah Pickett, they have four reinforcements likely to be available from their 2021 premiership side - Christian Salem (thyroid), Jack Viney (knee), Steven May (calf) and Bayley Fritsch (foot).

“The quartet successfully completed the Demons session at Gosch’s Paddock on Monday.”

would you really want to drop McVee. Just think the confidence booster of another game may set him up for a life time of Demonisism.

I made no comment on selection. Just quoted who was available after injury. It’s up to the selectors now to decide the makeup of the team. 

Taj really unlucky (dislocated finger - out 6 weeks) he would have been a chance to play ahead of Laurie i reckon.

At least the injury doesn't impact his fitness levels to much.

Terrific that taj is now the ONLY player on the injury list, which is pretty remarkable. 


One - count them, ONE - player on the injury list. Unprecedented?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
