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.

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!

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
