So was Carroll dropped at all or was it injury the whole time?

Ricky Petterd seems a likely player too but where are Wheels, Yze and Holland?

We are carrying a lot of baggage that just aren't even getting a look in at getting a game ... (but don't include Wheels or Wheats)

Rivers please don't turn into a James Hird ... do some searching, take drugs, hormones ... anything I don't care if its illegal lol just get out on the park ... drugged to the hilt with morphine and you would still be irreplaceable.

I work very close to the Junction Oval, on the way home tonight Melb was training and Carroll was walking laps by himself, must have been injuried and the way he was walking he isn't playing for a couple of weeks.

Wheels, Yze and Holland all played for Sandringham against the Tassie Devils.

If he does what you're suggesting, he'll have a short career. Let's hope he passes his test this week as we could do with both him and Sylvia back in the side.

Ricky = 426

The curse continues.

Rivers better be fit for this week, or Franklin will break the all time record for most goals kicked by an individual player in a single game!

Two promising players whose development has somewhat been stalled due to injuries. Not fair.

Can someone clarify for me: now that Neitz has retired, does Wonaeamirri get to stay on the senior list for the remainder of the year? May be a dumb question but I've heard conflicting answers.

Aussie came off the rookie list and onto the senior list to replace Jack Grimes when he went onto the long term injury list.

Shane Valenti came off the rookie list as a result of Neita's placement on the LTI list. Doesn't that mean that when Grimes comes back from injury in a couple of weeks' time that Aussie has to go back on the rookie list?

Is it possible to interchange upgraded rookies?

Yeah that's what I was thinking...swap Aussie to be Neita's replacement so Valenti goes back when Grimes comes in? No offence Valenti, but to lose Aussie now would just make this season all the more awful. Is Grimes even close to coming back?

We can do what St Kilda has done and instead of retiring someone we put the on the long term injury list. Holland or Yze would be the best picks, but by promoting Valenti, I don't think the club expects Grimes to be fit this year.

I think Holland or Yze would have to have a real injury for that happen as Fraser Gehrig does.

I think that you will find that the club can nominate which rookie goes back when Grimes come good. Note that the club did not promote Valenti until they were pretty positive that Nietz would not play again, thus preserving a permanent place for Wonaeamirri.

I hope so. It would make sense though - imagine if Neitz hadn't been on the LTI, and had retired spontaneously. Then the club would have had the choice over any rookie to promote, right? So in effect Melbourne is just choosing any of the 4 rookies to get a spot on the senior list. Well that's the way I hope it is.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
