What's wrong with Junior?

And how is Robbo not on that injury list???

Big thumbs up for CJ, PJ and Buckley.

Honestly though, what does it matter? We're not in it to win and nobody even cares anymore. This may very well be the first time in Demonland history that we haven't had any game discussion pre-match, and even the list of 'ins' and 'outs' is not generating much interest.

    think laterally ..

    Robbo will be taken off ..and subsequently not available for next week either !!! ;)

    Junior...? :o

    Looking forward to watching this one. Should be a cracker.

    But no call-up for Godders? What a revelation!

  • Quote

    So with McDonald out, that leaves Jeff White as the only player to have played every game this year. Unbelievable.

    Gods I think !!

    I would hope we have more out the following week for Carlton. We dont want a sniff in that game or this one. Two games I would be happy to lose.

    Has a team ever had not a single player play every game in the season? This has to be a new record low you'd think...

    Three rucks in the same team, this should be interesting. maybe PJ will play back?

    What times the game start?

    Pretty sure its 2:10 local which would make it 4:10 AEST.

    We're waaay too top heavy with ruckmen for the fast-track Subiaco ground. Still, the last time

    we played Freo there Nick Smith was our #2 ruckman.....

  • Quote

    Carroll, Ferguson, Miller, Neitz, Newton, Johnson, Jamar, White.

    I don't think that is too top heavy. Three talls fwd in Neitz, Newton and one of Miller, Johnson, White or Jamar. Three talls down back: Carroll, Ferg, and one of Miller or P Johnson and then two in the ruck. It really depends on where Miller plays, if he plays fwd then P. Johnson will have to play back, they may play Miller on Pavlich. Although, considering Miller may be traded/delisted at years end may mean he plays back so that we can have a ruck rotating in the fwd line.

    good i want too see this

    Also of interest in the team selections for this game is that my most detested player in the league and a player of some trade interest on this site in Ryan Murphy has been dropped.

    i think its fair to say that any players that arent injured and arent playing firsts are either gonna delisted next year or are in severe development mode.

    players not chosen and arent injured:

    Bizzel, Warnock, Neville, Garland and Weetra (Garland and Weetra first year rookies so theyre let off)

    Bizzel, Warnock and Neville...is there any surer sign that these guyz are the first 3 going to be delisted at years end? sorry but if players arent getting chosen with so many injuries they are GAWN.

    Not necessarily so. There will be a whole new football department next season.

    ok so robbo needs to rest his knee, wheatly needs to get his shoulders right, we only need 2 other injurie and we could tell the afl that we officially have to forfeit against carlton because we dont have enough players, thus giving them the four points, avoiding the farce of a game in round 22 and getting us the priority pick ;)

  • Quote

    here is how the team has been named... curious that garland, bizzell and warnock have all been named as emergencies, all seem to be key backs... and godders couldn't even get a go in the emergencies, is he injured?

    MELBOURNE

    B: Nathan Carroll, Ryan Ferguson, Nathan Brown

    HB: Chris Johnson, Brad Miller, Cameron Bruce

    C: Brad Green, Travis Johnstone, Daniel Ward

    HF: Byron Pickett, Russell Robertson, Michael Newton

    F: Colin Sylvia, David Neitz, Paul Johnson

    FOLL: Jeff White, Brock McLean, Nathan Jones

    I/C: Mark Jamar, Simon Buckley, Jace Bode, Lynden Dunn

    EMG: Colin Garland, Clint Bizzell, Matthew Warnock

    and here is our injury list at present...

    MELBOURNE:

    Matthew Bate (thigh) - 1 week

    Daniel Bell (back) - 1 week

    James Frawley (ankle) - 1-2 weeks

    Brent Moloney (groin) - 1-2 weeks

    Clint Bartram (knee) - season

    Aaron Davey (hamstring) - season

    Ben Holland (shoulder) - season

    Ricky Petterd (lung) - season

    Jared Rivers (groin) - season

    Matthew Whelan (ankle) - season

    Adem Yze (hernia) - season

    James McDonald - 1 week?

    Paul Wheatley - 1 week?

    that's 13 injured players... giving us 28 players to select our side from... with only neville, weetra and godfrey not making the team or the emergency list... fair to say we're in pretty bad shape

  • Quote
    •

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
