TWO MORE GONE FOR THE YEAR

From today's Age -

Ben Holland (Melbourne) shoulder

Dislocated shoulder means the Demon veteran’s season is over.

Daniel Bell (Melbourne) concussion

Took a solid blow to the head while over the ball. Will be assessed this week but likely to be OK for Saturday’s game against Fremantle.

Aaron Davey (Melbourne) hamstring

Hamstring tear will keep the Demon speedster out for the rest of the year.

Despite the injury toll I believe it would be in the best interests of the club and the longevity of the players involved that Neita and Robbo are either placed out to pasture for the remainder of the season. Matthew Bate also truggled with a corkie on Friday night and should not go West unless he's 100%.

    Absolute no reason to play people who are struggling to make the team with niggles. Get em ready for a good pre-season!

    Davey also going in for knee surgery.

    Given that 5 Demon listed players pulled out of yesterday's Sandy game, and that CJ was named in the best, it would not surprise me in the slightest to see a lot of changes, with many older players taking an early holiday.

    Robbo I can understand, but why Neita?

    He was in our top 3 best players V Collingwood, and looked as fit as he's been all year.

    because he is hobbling around on one leg

    He is only on 1 leg thats the reason why his kicks are dropping short and are all over the shop. He was in the best cause even a injured neita is better than fully fit midfielders and he always plays up on big occasions. Rest him up for next year!

    Agreed.

    Anything on Newton?

    There was some talk of him injuring a hamstring (?) in the last quarter.

    I'd hate to send him West if he isn't 100% only for him to do further damage.

    I think alot of the older players were trying to get up for neitz. Time to put them to pasture for year. CJ will come in for sure. They always throw him in for the subiaco trip, free trip home haha.

    The last 2 games of 2007 are of absolutely no importance for MFC & now the 2 milestone games have been achieved make no sense at all keeping not fully fit playesr in the side. Especially Davey with a hammy doing the trip to Subi would be very stupid!

    At least Davey, Robbo and Wheatley must be put away for next year.(Last 2 need surgery & the extra 2 weeks between seasons is best value added to their preseason.). MFC should look at anyone else in same situation.

    Would be wise to rest Belly for at least 1 week.

    Only other considerations are whether any MFC players can qualify to play for Sandy in the finals by playing for Sandy in next week or 2 and whether anyone will play a farewell game at AFL level (Byron, Bizz??). Otherwise give all the kids 2 games!

    Got to play these kids rest of season:

    Buckley, Garland, CJ, Dunn, Newton, Warnock, Bode etc etc.

    Just play every kid under 22. Then pick a few older heads.

    Apparently Bate got a corked thigh, but came back on and played deep.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
