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.

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.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
