Brent Moloney (groin) - 1-2 weeks

it smells a little bit like OP or something lingering like that for these two, would love to see them back in one or two but i doubt it.

Bartram would be good to get back a bit sooner also.

Jared Rivers, our new Nick Smith :(

Please refer to Rivers as 122 from now on.

He is gone, won't play again this year would be my guess.

And Bartram still 4-6 away? Wasn't he 2 weeks away last week?

And what's actually wrong with Yze?

So many questions...

RE: Rivers -

Also spoke to Chris Fagan who said that Jared Rivers was iffy for the rest of the year with his OP, whereas Brent Moloney encouragingly he said may well be right to present himself this week. Told him Brad Miller had kicked 6 which he didnt know at the time and brought a smile to his face.

Moloney's had OP and I read that he has played more than was planned because of our injuries.

Disappointing to see Bartram's ETA pushed back.

must be dissapointing for bartram. if those three are struggling id like to see them told to just take 10 weeks off and do preseason with us, get themselves right first. we need them on the park next year, fit and firing, all 3 get in our best 22, prob 18.

RE yze jaded, when he missed the first game he had scans for OP (which i found strange considering it is occuring at this stage of his career, maybe he caught it from moloney?) they said the scans came back showing it wasnt bad at all, but they didnt say it wasnt OP. mild OP is a pain in the ass. i get the feeling yze might have played if daveys knee didnt get up but he was otherwise going to drop out...

I read that Daniher knew all along that Yze wouldn't play...

I think it was in the Herald Sun or the The Age today, in an article about Benny.

How does a veteran who hasn't missed a game in something like 10 years, suddenly get OP? That is incredibly strange.

And poor Bartram, you really have to feel for him. First his ankle, which turned out to be a really bad one (I was still seeing him on crutches months later) now the knee. I miss watching that little goer!

P.S.- Injuryupdate.com has Bartram returning in Round 12. What the hell is going on then?

Rivers was interviewed on MMM before the game on Monday, when asked about his injury said it was lower back tightness affecting his hip and hamstrings as well. Has only recently started running again, and said very unconvincingly that he was 1-2 away. Don't get your hopes up for a return within the next month, especially if we keep winning.

Give Rivers the season off to get it right. This is a career threatening injury. Gary Lyon had this injury for 3 - 4 painful seasons. Struggled to play more than 3 games in a row. Eventually he retired at the age of 28 as a result of this injury.

I know we all like to dream and think we are still a chance this year. However the reality is that this almost certainly is not the case. Send Bartam, Rivers and Molony to rehab now so they are ripe for next season.

re didnt retire til the end of the '99 season, he was born september '67 so he wouldve been 31 during that season. but in '99 he only played 2 games, '97 5 games and '96 6 games (21 games in '98), so at the end of the 95 season (effectively his last cept the comeback year) he was 28 ;)

it would have been interesting to see the development of the mfc if he was fit those years. would he have been playing in the 2000 GF? would we have made it? would neitz stayed at CHB?

Tingay had same problem didnt he?

only 105 games then traded to swans where he didnt even play

Some other decent players were pretty plagued by injuries back in those days - Prymke and G. Lovett come to mind.

    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
