Name Injury Expected Return
Jake Bowey Shoulder 1 week
Christian Salem Hamstring 2 - 3 weeks
Charlie Spargo Achilles 3 - 4 weeks
Jake Melksham  Knee 6 - 8 weeks  

Can't wait for Bowser's return. Hopefully he's back for Carlton.

I am actually very impressed with Milkshake's  recovery. I thought he would only be available for Finals.

    Bravo WCW you called Bowsa for the Blues game and Selwyn just confirmed it.

    He needs an op but won’t have it!

    What sort of operation? He doesn't have a ruptured Achilles tendon.

    Looks like Salem will  be available post the Eagles game.

    Fingers crossed for no more injuries and that would mean best 22 available

    Salo is not far off, either!

    Once we get Bowza and Salo back - provided everyone else stays good, we're looking great.

    Bonuses are McAdam and Melksham later in the year, as options for certain games.

    I’m convinced Shane McAdams is growing a new hamstring in a lab 


    What sort of shocking condition did he come in from Adelaide where he was managed by Burgess? 

    That’s the problem As I understand that he did not go with Burgess advice and took matters into his own hands. This resulted in him only playing about 8/10 games as he “managed” his own fitness or had other advisors. 

    I believe his base would be very low and that’s why he had the need of a third of the season to help establish his “Melbourne “ base. 

    If we were to name our GF team 5 months early I would be leaving out Shane as the most likely to miss because of injury. Seems a nice bloke ( according to WCW ) but who would you back in Kolt or Shane for HFF in the Granny?

    Something is not quite right in the state of Denmark ( Shane Mac) although I desperately want him to get a good string of matches and perform for the team as he has ability to be a huge X factor I believe.

    Should Brayshaw and/or Smith be included?

    Brayshaw definitely...Smith perhaps.

    Re Charlie Spargo, it seems to me that he was injured late in the pre season, and came to opening round with no match fitness. He was clearly underdone and probably carried an injury into OR. Did we make the situation worse by playing him? Certainly he contributed nothing to the team that evening.

    He was put on the injury list after that game, and was listed as 3 weeks in early April. A month later and he is still listed as 3 weeks.

    If all goes well from here maybe he gets one Casey game in before the bye, then it is probably July before he can push for senior selection.

    If I was a player in that situation, particularly given the depth in my position, I would be absolutely furious as to how the injury has been managed.

    That was one of the weirdest selections, probably since Schache sub!

    Felt like the coaching team panicked on that one.

    Charlie S  played so well in the 2023 finals, I think they wanted him back asp.

    Those injuries are piling up again.

    Sure, Salem aside they are on the 18-26 level of players but the tank is running thin when you add in Brayshaw and Smith as well

    Realistically only JVR and Salem are best 22 locks, and both will be available within a week or two. 
    The sky is definitely not falling yet.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
