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.

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.

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.

Swine (flu) :rolleyes:

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.

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.

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.

which includes Zomer

Our secret weapon at FB? :lol:

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!

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?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
