And Rohan Bail should be lining up for Casey this weekend. Have emailed the club with a minor whinge that he should be on the injury list.

Cheney isn't injured. He didn't play on the weekend because he was the nominated game-day emergency (i.e. if there was a last minute need for a late change, Cheney was on standby).

Where's Grimes? Is he fit now?

Yeah, he played for Casey last weekend despite not getting a mention in Peter German's report.

Im starting to feel sorry for "Wheels". He has been a fantastic player for the MFC. However the way Benell, Martin, Frawley, Warnock, Rivers, and Davey clicked on the weekend, It is going to be tuff to break into the back line. Throw in Cheney, Garland, Grimes just to name a few, to get in our back six is going to be the hardest spot to get if you are not 110% in the future.

UNfortunately I thinkolgreydingo is right , love the wrecker in full flight let's hope he can make it back this year

WE should keep him on as full time tackling coach if he can't make it back ,he is probably the best tackler i have ever seen done the red and blue

Thanks "Bates Mate" for your thoughts. I would love "Wheels" to be the "Little General" of the back line. Remember he is only 29. we do need experience, but were does he fit?

When he is up and going he is always in our best 22. In a back pocket. Problem is he hasn't been able to consistently stay on the park and unless something changes drastically soon I fear that he and the club may feel that his spot is better occupied by a draft pick.

He will be missed if he can't get going both for his physicality and the leadership he provides particularly for the indigenous boys,

Whelan has struggled to be continually fit for the past three years and his influence on the ground has waned. His birth certificate says 29 but his body is older than that and the soft tissue injuries are mounting.

I thought he would retire last year. I am certain he will this year. I dont think he is as big a loss now as last year.

BTW, a mate saw him in the crowd after the MFC game hobbling awkwardly. Hardly fit.

According to Peter German on the MFC web site

"Matthew Whelan (reserves) – He only played a half, as he's on restricted time. His half was a lot better than the week before. He's still a week or two away. "

i think we have seen the last of wheels, does anyone know his contract status?

Cheney, Bennell have taken his role as the small defender and with Rivers back he becomes the general down back

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
