1 indefinite suspension JS29

3 travelling emergencies having a WA holiday break 🥤

Does anyone know the actual recovery time for Trac? In some insane bizarro-world where we made a prelim, would he be a chance of returning? I remember reading that his spleen recovery could be up to 12 weeks but I'm imagining that would be before he could even start training.

How the actual [censored] does one have multiple broken ribs and maybe a broken vertebrae and only miss up to two games? 😳 If that was me I’d be out for 10-15 years.

Stevic and Gianfagna (delisted) have a particular disliking for MelbourneFC.

Now a bad time to tell you Gianfagna isnt delisted and is down to umpire us tomorrow vs Freo??

Koltyn Tholstrup was the second casualty from the Sunday game, with delayed concussion symptoms pushing him into required protocols.

“Koltyn had a head knock in the game,” Griffith said.

“He passed the initial SCAT (sport concussion assessment tool) and was cleared of anything there.

“Following us returning to Melbourne, he had some delayed symptoms with headaches and altered vision and has now entered the concussion protocol. So, he'll progress through that as symptoms settle.”

And of course … not sure why BBB pushed on this year. I know he had a contract but he can’t play two games back to back and can hardly run.  A sad finish !!! 

 

Ben Brown was absent from both AFL and VFL matches due to some knee soreness.  

“Ben had some knee soreness last week following the game, we gave him every opportunity to be able to play the game, but unfortunately just wasn't able to,” Griffith said.

“So, we'll reassess that this week, with our main priority to make sure Ben is able to function to be at AFL level for the back end of the season.”

Salem’s body is cooked. Such a damn shame!

He will struggle to get back I recon. Doggie Brown will move to the backline next year and likely take his spot. In my opinion his ball use has declined and he has lost a yard of pace.

I would put Christian Salem in cotton wool for the rest of the year to try and get him through the preseason and a better 2025. Very sad when a player nears the end of their career, he has been so good for us.

It's difficult to see Salem coming back in '24. I'd prefer to put him on ice so he can hopefully have a full pre-season and get more games into players like Howes and K.Brown.

Agreed.  Salem has had a good career but it appears injuries are slowing him down.  It was spoken about that he could step into the midfield this year.  Certainly not the case.

I can think of about 400,000 reasons why.

Might have been worth exploring paying BBB out and sliding him across to an AFLW and/or assistant coaching role. Presumably his salary would still be in our cap, but surely that could have been absorbed with Grundy et al. traded out last year.

COVID is an illness but there are a multitude of illnesses that are not Covid.

Is he back on our list? When did that happen?

Why do you think I mentioned it.. 🫠

May refractures ribs. Didn’t see the contest anybody see anything? I wonder if the incident may have been a rib tickler or in play? 

It’s the same ribs as before, so it may not have taken much to re-injure them. 
I suggest it’s season over for him.

Yes agree he has certainly had enough pain this year it would start to wreck you mentally.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
