Demonland

I always thought we were the biggest Victorian beggars. St Kilda have received at least $4 million more each year for the last three years from the AFL compared to other Victorian clubs. Saints' $20 million the biggest Victorian distribution

Seems every year we remind someone of some team. Time for us to make our own story and for it not to end up a sad or tragic one.

He's just one of those guys that does all the right things. Nothing flashy and doesn't stand out. Not quite the invisible man but just does his things. I've only been to two sessions so I can't really comment on his preseason as a whole.

Clarry doesn't even make a Best of the Rest team.

The Demons were right to challenge themselves with their four-season plan, but the acid is mainly on the coaches and football staff, writes Jake Niall. Demon targets pile extra pressure on coach Simon Goodwin

Rushed last minute and obviously unused "artwork". He would have looked good in the Big V.

That was the initial plan. Obviously the selectors struggled to come up with 3 names from half the teams.

I'd say given both teams extensive injury lists it's likely to comprise mostly of VFL players and I assume even before the carnage this was the case.

Nev Jetta is our only representative in the match.

With both teams a man down.

All we have been able to ascertain is that it is a groin injury. Not much other information nor a timeline has been given.

Only 1 Demon likely to be represented.

Melbourne CEO Gary Pert has assured Demons fans that Max Gawn will be ripe to play in Round 1. Pert also gave updates on a raft of other injured Demons including Steven May, Jake Kolodjashnij, Aaron vandenBerg and supplementary selection period signing Harley Bennell. “I can tell you that not all those players are going to miss the first game,” he added. “In this period of time, as we intensify the training, we’ve got some players like a Kolodjashnij and a vandenBerg who basically didn’t play last year, (but) they’re preparing. “VandenBerg, for example, it’s a very slow burn. We want to get him right for the early part of the season, we don’t want to push his program, but we’re really happy (with) where he’s at. “Harley Bennell, we took him on board and he’s going to be a risk. If we get half a dozen games out of him, it’ll be fantastic. “May had a bit of a hiccup. Not a major injury but it will take a little bit of time. He’ll be ready for the first game or shortly into the season.”

While a number of physiological and biological factors are understood to contribute to a female being two to 10 times more likely to suffer the injury compared to male counterparts, the league believes there is a correlation between the female cycle and the season-ending injury.

See you all at 2:30pm on Saturday September 26.
