Just on Ch. 10, Rivers has had scans for OP and that he is unlikely to play for the rest of the season.

According to Neale, the scans weren't 'too bad', but he can't run freely. He'll have more scans next week.

Is this the worst season of injuries in the club's 150 year history?

I reckon Rivers will be ok....give him a few weeks.

And wouldn't that be stupid!

You don't give someone 'a few weeks' to get over OP. If he has it, even in the mildest of forms, he should sit out the rest of the year wrapped in soft cotton wool, and instructed not to run, walk, or indeed stand up.

This is too serious to mess around with. These sorts of injuries can stick around for your whole career if they are not properly managed. We don't want another Moloney/Sylvia situation.

The season from Hell gets worst, I can recall a season which has been effected so greatly by injuries.

does that mean we can elevate a rookie like weetra or hayes now

Hayes has been banished from the club for not turning up to training.

Weetra has a broken wrist, and is already on the senior list.

We haven't got a rookie who could actually come in and help us. Perhaps Neaves, but highly unlikely.

I admire your optimism MFC but it seems like another installment in the 'Melbourne Anno Horribilis' best-seller series.

Get a full, fit list on the park next year with a couple of gun recruits and we'll see a different result.

I hope you're right about Jared all the same.

On the brightside it means Frawley will get 12 or 13 games of invaluable experience, which could allow us to have frawley, carroll and rivers next year as the 3 KP defenders

Indeed. Holland was omitted for this match and Frawley retained his spot, so it looks like he might get an extended run - which is a good thing.

:o Surprisingly terrible season aside, this is the worst news we've had in a long time. Rivers is in our top 5 most important players. Our backline is a mess without him. And now he too has succumb to OP. Hopefully he gets over it and can play unhindered next year and beyond. I couldn't bare to have another of our young stars cut down by injury. Brock, Sylvia, Moloney, Rivers. The future, ooze talent and determination....but injury prone as all hell :wacko:

What a major blow with Rivers out for the season, but at least it occured at a time like this. Hope he gets better soon.

Also about Hayes, are you saying banished as delisted?

it's final. i'm spending my two and a half hours on saturday scouring the stadium to find wheels! will let you know how i go...

at least we can pity ourselves for our injuries, imagine your were richmond, and could only ppity being ahead in the lastq quarter in about 5 games without ANY excuse for such failure.

i have a weeeeeirdly good feeling about this weekend folks. that forwardline looks damaging, and that middle looks ball winning. no miller = no 0-10!

get off the hang Bohdan badwagon please fellow Dees..

Think..THINK.. some of you before engaging keyboards. OP doesnt happen over-night.. whatever was lurking was there before this bloke came to town.

Lets take the up side. Jared can take the rest of year to get right with no pressure to perform before necessary !!

hey ..its the season from hell.. ( appropriate in an unfunny way!! ) . Half full ppl.. lets take whatever seems a set back and turn it into an opportunity. In many ways the pressure is off of us... No one can expect us to do much other than push the re-start button and work forwards.

The pressure is alwasy going to be now on whomever we play... :-))

Get better Jared..take your time... do it properly..look forward to seeing yo in the normal place in 2008 !!

Neaves would be a good promotion, in rucking terms he's already in front of both Jamar and Johnson. Would be good to leave White in the forwrd line and rotate the other two to have a real good look at them, a really positive development move, but we all know it won't happen.

might be one of those twists of fate that catapult Neaves into the team earlier ( than some might have warranted ) but just in time to fill a need.

    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
