MELBOURNE has suffered its first major injury blow of the season with leading onballer Cameron Bruce ruled out for at least a month with a knee complaint.

Bruce strained his medial ligament in a contested training drill on Friday and was on crutches yesterday as the Demons flew to their Canberra Community Camp.

While the Demons put a positive spin on Bruce's injury and said he would be fit for Round 1, it is terrible timing.

With the loss of Travis Johnstone to the Brisbane Lions, the 28-year-old is expected to lead the onball brigade under new coach Dean Bailey.

The club said yesterday it was hopeful Bruce would play several practice games in preparation for the Demons' Round 1 clash against Hawthorn on March 23.

Having last week named in the club's new-look leadership group, Bruce missed six games through hamstring injuries last year but had completed an excellent pre-season.

Now he has been sidelined only days before the club's first intra-club clash, and its NAB Cup opener against premier Geelong on February 16.

The Demons postponed a scheduled hitout last Friday with several players sore but are expected to complete their first intraclub match this Friday at Canberra's Ainslie Oval.

Melbourne football manager Craig Cameron said the club was thankful Bruce had enough time to recuperate to be fit for the first round. "It will be a few weeks. We are just getting the weight off the knee at the moment, and we will have a conservative approach leading into the pre-season games, but we expect him to play a few practice matches and be ready for Round 1," Cameron said.

"I think it was a tackling drill, just physical contact. They are doing contested ball work and this transition from fitness training into game play, that's when a lot of different injuries bob up."

Like most clubs, the Demons had escaped without incident in the pre-season, with only a handful of players having being managed through the summer.

Ruck recruit John Meeson has starred on the track, while Adem Yze, Clint Bartram and Brent Moloney are on target after struggling with injury last season.

Top-five draft pick Cale Morton has impressed in his first pre-season and is expected to get a chance early in the NAB Cup.

The club yesterday began its five-day camp in Canberra which will include training camps, school visits, a superclinic, and a visit to the War Memorial.

Two Chinese junior footballers joined them in Canberra yesterday as part of a professional development scholarship.

Zhao Wei and Zhao Yonggen will co-captain the Chinese national side during the AFL International Cup later this year, with China competing for the first time.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
