Argh **** - wish Liv well in her recovery

MELBOURNE midfielder Liv Purcell is expected to be sidelined for a significant chunk of this year's AFLW season, having suffered a series of nasty facial fractures during a practice match defeat to Port Adelaide on Sunday.

Purcell was hospitalised and forced to stay in South Australia overnight on Sunday, where she currently remains alongside the club's head of AFLW Jessie Mulholland, after the incident late in the match.

The 23-year-old will require surgery, though can't be operated on until the swelling dissipates, with the Demons unable to yet put on a timeframe on Purcell's return until she undergoes the procedure. Purcell also suffered a concussion in the incident.

Dan was on krock pre-match

Should be close to full strength for round 1, with Pres & Claudia to return after missing last week

Full praise for Pres - said she's essentially a full-time footballer, leading the way off field with her approach

Scheer will hopefully be back in the second half of the season - need the girls to do the job in the first half

Also sounds like we'll have an Irish flare up forward with Kate Kenny playing through throughout the pre-season, and we know that's where A. Moloney stood strong last season

And no word on the ruck set up at this stage - keeping that under wraps until round 1
