White not playing, so PJ to play...

News Flash for you Melbourne 777: PJ is out for the season champ. It was announced on Tuesday.

News Flash for you Melbourne 777: PJ is out for the season champ. It was announced on Tuesday.

Last I heard, we were undecided as to whether PJ would play this week.

His surgery isn't until next week, and the injury is one that he can manage.

Although I read an article where Monaghan stated that PJ was done, I wouldn't be surprised if he played, given earlier comment from the Club.

Well that's just it hightower he is playing...they have brought him back in to play.

"Paul Johnson will delay his season ending surgery for one extra week, and is set to line up this week against West Coast. Johnson was due to have hip surgery this week, but it was decided he should temporarily put that on hold, after it was clear that Jeff White would be forced to miss."

In: Mark Jamar, Brad Miller, Michael Newton, Daniel Bell.

Out: Lynden Dunn (ill), Chris Johnson (Inj-groin) , Jeff White (Inj – knee), Nathan Carroll (omitted)

That is unusual, the article regarding Davey and Johnson is still current on the website, saying neither will play again in 2008.....Hmm <_<

Jeff White forced to miss? Knee? Anyone see this last Friday night?

So what happens next week if White's still injured and PJ goes in for surgery? Spencer? Meesen?

Spencer? Meesen?

My understanding is that there's a cutoff point during the year for promoting rookies, so Spencer's out, and Meesen... well, less said the better at this point.

I guess the answer is Jamar rucks on his own.

Hmm. I don't like the sound of Jamar rucking on his own. Maybe Holland to get a recall for the sole purpose of being the 2nd ruckman?

with the ins and outs... I feel we have a good chance to win...GO DEES

Ignore him.

High Tower responds to just about every post written.

Including this one.

Just watch.

But now he won't because I said he will.

Or will he?

Nice one champ!

leave HT alone!!

And Britney presumably...

Sorry High Tower you were saying....

I think now it's newsflash to you PJ IS PLAYING.

You've made your point, don't be a prat.

High Tower, stop responding to everything and contributing nothing of substance. Your profile says you're 34 years old. Get a job.

Lets hope PJ gets up this week. About the only bloke able to deliver the ball into the forward line with any aplomb and consistency. Which is damning (on everyone else) given he's 6'massive" and a backup ruckman.

I think PJ should not play due to his injury - do the op -as it is of no significant consequence as to whether we win or lose, it is surely a chance to play Meeson, and see how he rates.

Diablo, I simply do not like being made out to be an idiot when I was in fact right, that is all. I was not being a prat.

With White out, Melbourne must believe the need PJ this week.

Proves we're not tanking!

If we win this by a comfortable margin, then manage to somehow beat Port Adelaide and the Hawks then smash the Eagles, who then go on to get belted by the Cats down at the Cattery, we could see the Dees against Richmond trying to lose by at least a set margin (i.e. must lose by at least 20 odd points)

That really would be an odd round 22! Though i can't see us beating Port

Yeah, but for us to be a risk of losing the spoon, we'd need to win more games in three weeks than we've done in 19 - can't see it happening. As you say, Port at AAMI's a tough one.

Apologies for OFFENDING you Melb_777. You were right in hindsight, there simply was a change in plans by the club. The named side contradicted the previous report that PJ's season was over.

Don't take it to heart.

Nah Rogue, just AS many games
