i cant see any of them playing this year tbh. bartrams time frame just keeps getting pushed back and back. moloney has op and i dont think he will be right, and i reckon rivers is in a real spot of bother with that lower back problem...

There's no point in risking any of them, give them all as much time as needed to recover.

I'd rather any club over the filth.

My niece can only say the word hate, when its used in a sentence about Collingwood.

I heard him say all that on SEN on Friday, and i agree, we will shape the 8 in a big way, but he got one thing wrong.

We lost to 4 of the 5, not all 5.

I am not sure where he gets his information re Bartram, Maloney and Rivers being out for the rest of the season.

From what I understand, Bartram has had some complications with his knee, and is unlikely to play again this year.

Thanks Jaded for that info. Shame! Just another lousy setback for our troops.

Agree we want to be in the finals but it doesn't seem to be our destiny this year. However I am hoping for some minor joy along the way.

Don't forget people, there is a silver lining for every dark cloud that hangs above us. 2007 is not our year, so what, it never was going to be with so many young & inexperienced key players to our engine room. '08 was allways a most likelier year as long as we could get more games & experience into players like Mclean, Sylvia, Jones, Bate, Dunn, Pettard, Davey, Bell, Jamar & PJ.

Well guess whats happening, their growing & accepting some leadership as welll.

Our injury list has helped us more towards our next GF appearance than anything else.

Play the kids & forget about ego & '07 ladder position, build our future now!

As much as we will miss Rivers, Moloney and Bartram, every club has its injuries and as long as we don't have any more major injuries we can at least put on a strong showing and save someface from a shyzenhaus year so far. Also, other players like Petterd, Frawley and dare I say Newton will get opportunitiesey might not have otherwise had this year which will hold them in good stead in 2008.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
