Let's just change TEST to 2 - 3 weeks and we're done

i really hope so!!

interesting to see Grimes back on the list.. must have pulled up sore after the last game.. or something like that..

For the sake of 'list management':

Brent Moloney (groin) – 1 week

Brock McLean (knee) – season

Jordie McKenize (calf) – in for Davey (flu)

Liam Jurrah (ankle) – 1 week

Jack Grimes (hip) – 1 week

Stefan Martin (calf) – 1 week (Juice in the ruck?)

Stefan Martin (calf) – 1 week (Juice in the ruck?)

With the exception of Davey, I reckon all of those would be completely legitimate list management reasons anyway, even if you ignore the horrid T word. When you're not in the hunt for finals there is absolutely no point in giving players any less than the maximum amount of rest possible, especially the chronically injured such as McLean, Moloney and Grimes.

[Pepe Dee Pew 0]

Grimes and Petterd will be dropped for disciplinary reasons - kicking late goals.

[Kiss of Death 755]

Happy it's a hip and not a back this week!

[Matt Demon 1,418]

I wonder who will be the late out? The last couple of weeks we've had someone pull out at the last min. I hope It's Davey.

Out- Davey, Whelan, Bennel, Grimes

In- Sylvia, Mckenzie, Buckley, Bail, Mcnamara

I didnt include Morton but dont see how we can keep him out with the flu for two weeks.

[rpfc 28,405]

I really need Moloney and Jamar back in for SC...

Sylvia and Morton in for Bennell and Whelan.

With this backline - Johnson (he ain't good enough in the ruck, at FF, at CHF), Jetta (learn to man-up someone), Macca (let kids play in the guts), Cheney (keep going, you're doing great), Rivers (give the others some level of cogency), Morton (key defense post), and Sylvia (QB role).

And this midfield - Dunn, Bate and Miller (for freedom purposes), Spencer and Martin (rucking), Valenti, Grimes and Petterd (for a majority of CB's). All rotating through and Sylvia and Davey making sporadic appearances.

And this forward line - Warnock and Frawley (to continue to give them a break from our backline), Jones (to learn to kick properly forward of centre), Bruce (get him out of the center so the kids can play there), Batram (more strings? A string), Newton (put it on his head), and Davey (people always complain he is not a FP anymore...).

As much as I would curse it, if we won at least it would be on the back of JG, RP, JS and the motley crue that is that forward line.

[Steamin Demon 392]

I read on the NTH MFC web site Aaron Edwards did very well in the ressies, If he comes in maybe we can put Cheney on him. It can only help the cause.

[Blistering 541]

Happy it's a hip and not a back this week!

Not good.

Don't want him to become injury prone.

Put him in mothballs!

Swine (flu)

[#MYHEARTBEATSTRUE 27]

Mckenzie was out due to 3rd degree burns to his head.....

Bate was treated also as was Cheney but were cleared to play as they were not as serious as mr mckenzie!!!

[felixdacat 459]

Does anyone know what is happening with Buckley??

[Matt Demon 1,418]

Does anyone know what is happening with Buckley??

He's returning from injury, played the last two games for Casey and did ok.. I say chuck him In the team for this week.

[Akum 2,660]

The rush of soft-tissue injuries - calf, groin, quad - could be a concern, these injuries should be avoidable and it may mean we haven't got it right as far as preparation is concerned. On the other hand, it may just mean that some players are getting genuinely tired after a gruelling season.

It also seems to be coming out one by one about players who have battled OP, we only hear about it when they beat this injury & come good - we heard about Petterd this week, and we know about Sylvia, who else?

Seriously though, it would be a major concern of these avoidable types of injuries continued to be seen so often next year. Part of the reason for St Kilda's success this year is that they've virtually wiped out these injuries altogether.

[drdrake 3,163]

Thats 20 players on our injury list, including Rookies and Veterans isn't the list only 44, that means we have 24 fit players, which includes Zomer and Hughes that are none elevated rookies and Bail that has played 1 game of VFL reserves in 4 weeks.

[45HG 1,539]

It's now official.

Whelan (plantar fascia) has been outed with every possible injury south of the jaw - it's also got to be one of the most specific listings of an injury I've seen.

[Jaded No More 68,913]

which includes Zomer

Our secret weapon at FB?

I don't think we'll waste our money elevating anymore rookies for the sake of a couple of games.

There is still Bail and Buckley available for this week, and Robbo... although I don't want him out there trying to prove to us he can still go, kicking a bag against a weaker opponent. No thank you!

[jacey 333]

What happens if we don't have enough players to field a team?

A few teams have gone close in the past but no one has had that problem.

Hawkers fielded some Box Hill players in preseason, could Silvagni get a game and take our kick ins?

[Rogue 585]

it's also got to be one of the most specific listings of an injury I've seen.

Clearly an anti-tank measure

Wheels needs to come back after two weeks to get his milestone!

[dee-luded 2,959]

i really hope so!!

interesting to see Grimes back on the list.. must have pulled up sore after the last game.. or something like that..

Pulled a fetlock, put him out in the good field, that one with the long grass & the country views.

[Jaded No More 68,913]

What happens if we don't have enough players to field a team?

Bring back Carroll and Godfrey!
