Rest.

We should now play Weetra and Meesen for the rest of the year and give White, Yze and Holland the last game if they are not in the side by then.

That is proper list management. We should find out if these guys can play!

Injured senior players should now be rested and get right for next pre season.

We know Weetra can't play

Give the kid a break.

All four will play this weekend, albeit not with Melbourne. Cheney will be back for the Sandy reserves, and all of Green, Wheats and Wonna will play against the Dons.

If fit, all should play, with Cheney at Sandy and the rest for the MFC.

No thanks. If they can't play at Sandy (or Sandy reserves), tell me again why we need to play them at AFL level to see what they've got.

Meesen is contracted for next year, so he can get a run then if you need to see a player at the top level. His form doesn't warrant leap-frogging Jamar, PJ, and White.

Weetra had a run in the NAB Cup and also got a couple of games, didn't do well, and has languished in the Sandy reserves for much of what's been an inconsistent season, even at that level.

Yes, Weetra didn't do much at all, he's goose is cooked.

Brad Miller is out this week with a hamstring injury which was not reported earlier in the week. Ricky Petterd is not in the Sandringham team to play at the weekend. Last week itwas the same thing with Wheatley who was out with a calf injury that wasn't disclosed in the week's injury list. Presumably, these players' injuries happened after the list was issued but this has become such a commonplace occurrence that I'm starting to wonder about our fitness and training set up at the club.

This is one of the first areas the club should review IMO.

So how long is Miller out for? 1 week? More?

If its a hammy, it would be more than one.
