    If Jamar is too much of a risk for this week even though available, Spencer should play.

    Sam Blease (leg) - indefinite

    James Frawley (hip) - 2 weeks

    Colin Garland (foot) - indefinite

    Brad Green (jaw) - test

    Mark Jamar (foot) - available

    Liam Jurrah & Jake Spencer who have been missing in action for a few weeks are not mentioned although, if the Russian is available then Spencer must go back to the rookie list.

    James Strauss will sit the week out due to suspension incurred while playing for the Casey reserves against Coburg.

    Given we have Garland and Meesen on the LTI, putting Spencer back on the rookie list would seem unnecessary

    ... except that it's a formality the club has to go through if Jamar is reactivated as a senior player. Spencer will have to be re-rookied and then replace one of the others who is on the LTI.

    You know, in previous years this would have done very little to excite anyone on this site. In fact it might have had the opposite effect. But I'm guessing that many people here are pleased, or at least glad, to see that Jamar's available and could be back in the next few weeks.

    Does this cost money, because if it does then it's something that the clubs should question the AFL over. It seems obvious to me that, in instances like these, the rookie should be allowed to stay on the senior list without having to go through these ridiculous formalities.

    Thank god Jared is alright. :)

    My sentiments exactly.

    And 2 weeks for Chip isn't too bad either.

    Green being on the verge of fitness is also great news.

    My guess is that he'll be second ruck for the Casey twos for a couple of weeks and then be eased into the ones. Ready for AFL by round 12 or 13 bsed on our current conservative system of rehab for players.

    I don't believe that it costs the club any extra to go through the process. Just paperwork.

    Does anybody at all know what is going on with Jurrah???????

    I was hoping that he might be ok, and pushing for possible selection for the indigenous round in a few weeks. But i am assuming not any more.

    Yep when it happened i thought he was gone for the year!

    It's about time he got some luck, same as moloney.

    Wona and Watts for the second half of the season will be nice.

    Will be very nice, with any luck we'll have Watts to debut against the Eagles round 14 at the G and after Wonna has a few games with Casey we might see him back round 15 against the Power at the G.

    Edited for accuracy <_<

    If Green's a test this week, then he could be right for Hawthorn next week. Great news, considering he was diagnosed for up to 8 weeks.

  • Quote

    Two players with stress fractures of the navicular bone! What are the chances of that in any given year?

  • Quote

    Maybe they have let Jurrah go home for a few weeks to see family. It would seem that this is important for him. Maybe, I dunno?

  • Quote

    Jurrah will be playing for casey this week. Would have played last week so that's why he is not on the injury list.

    I think he only had an illness so nothing serious

    I don't see the point of elevating Spencer for one of our other LTI as Spencer is injured himself. Elevate him when he can play.

    What's up with Jurrah? I would like to know that too.

    Apparently, as of this year, rookies will be able to be selected without need of elevation after round 10.

    Jurrah did not get injured as such, so he never appeared on the injured list. From what I have been able to glean, he had an abscess which was surgically removed. These things can knock you about a bit, but he should be fine for this week-end.

    It's only one rookie per team though...

    Sadly I'm still not convinced about Jamar, in fact I'd have him 4th in our ruck pecking order. I was impressed with Meesen's ruck work in the 4 games he's played. Johnson had a good game against the Eagles and we all know Spencer is a long term project. Jamar doesn't do enough around the ground for mine and doesn't win enough hit outs to compensate for the lack of ball he gets.

    Personally if Jamar, Johnson and Spencer are our ruckman to pick from for the rest of the year I'd be going with Spencer and Johnson every time.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
