Sam Blease (leg) indefinite

Simon Buckley (groin) 4-6 weeks

Colin Garland (foot) indefinite

Rhys Healey (quad) 1 week

James McDonald (knee) test

John Meesen (foot) indefinite

Austin Wonaeamirri (knee) 3-5 weeks

As usual, we have a player who was injured at the weekend but not accounted for on the official injury list. Jake Spencer was injured in the first five minutes at Casey and the injury could be anything because I've read about three different diagnoses.

Simon Buckley is our current 426 man.

    He is in massive trouble IMO.

    Will be lucky to keep his spot on the list next year.

    Unfortunate, but you may be right, depending on contract status.

    I love the way he takes the game on with his blistering pace, but, if he does have the dreaded OP, which has been suggested, then his power thru the legs will be significantly diminished, thus affecting his speed and depth of kicking. These are his 2 weapons, especially his pace, and without it, i'm not sure he brings much else to the team. Interesting times ahead for Bucks.

    Growing up a passionate Melbourne supporter, i know he'll be completely shattered if he is delisted at season end, so for his sake i hope he can get up and play some good footy later in the year.

    Someone told me Dean Bailey said on radio last night that Wonna is 3 weeks away from resuming.

    Agree. Not a huge loss though.

    Agree time is running out, and if we are still on track for a priority pick bucks could be a little unlucky at the end of the year. wheatly is the biggest concern is he fully fit? I thought he may have still been injured

    Sucha disappointing season for wonna. He was flying preseason and looked so fit and trimmed down. Hopefully he can get back for a few games at seasons end to get him fired up again for another hard preseason.

    Wheatley has played the last 2 weeks for Casey Reserves, building up his game time to 80% last week. You'd think he'd step up to Seniors at Casey this week, and even though last year was his best for quite a while, you'd think this year may well be his last on our list unless he very quickly turns things around (contract status notwithstanding)...

    I would be surprised if this year is not Wheatley's last year.

    Bucks may be unlucky come year end.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
