The Scorps never gave in and a 29 point loss in the circumstances is a damn good result. They have two weeks to regroup and will have to beat Williamstown (home) and Box Hill (away) to claim a top four spot.

    This season, rookies don't need to be elevated for a long term injury after round 11, so we're free to play him if we wish...

    No, each club is able to elevate one single rookie to the senior list without having to place a listed player on the Long Term Injury list.

    In the end it was a fine effort from the Scorpions who had a lot of inexperienced players including two first gamers. Give them PJ, Robbo and Danny Hughes who all were late omissions and they would have been a rough chance.

    Didn't see the game today, any reasons given for the late withdrawals?

    A couple not coming up for MFC tomorrow!?

    I HOPE HUGHES GETS A GAME!

    Did Casey have ANY MFC players today other than Zomer? Wheatley come up from ressies? List is starting to look really thin for fit players...

    Unless one of PJ and Robbo were injured today it sounds like one late withdrawal tomorrow and one of them in and the other emergency.

    I don't think Hughes is qualified to play unless he is capable of being uplifted to the senior list. McKenzie was uplifted a couple of weeks ago.

    I think maybe Martin might come out, he's had a few niggles here and there recently.

    On Hughes, there's been a lot of conjecture about his eligibility to play. We have Valenti, Spencer and McKenzie elevated for LTI's in Garland, Meesen, and Blease earlier this year. Aussie, Green and a number of others could also be placed on the LTI list at any time you'd think?

    And with the AFL's new rule allowing teams to nominate one rookie to the senior list for the 2nd half of the year, even without an LTI, you'd think Hughes would be eligible for a game?

    I've been under the impression, that since round 11, Hughes would be available for selection if need be, with the club having more than enough player injuries that could be regarded as 'long term' and placed on that list.

    We're at the the bottom of the barrell now, so to speak, with almost NO fit players left. Hughes should be available.

    Unless of course it in a financial issue, with the club unable to raise his salary?

    Nonetheless, i believe Hughes deserves a game given his good form over the year, the fact that he's been on the rookie list for 3 of 4 seasons, he needs an opportunity to show his stuff at top level, we've got no players left, and because we're in a list management situation.

    He deserves at least one game for the red & blue! (Being an MFC supporter as a kid, if he doesn't make it, he'll at least have a story for the grankids in future ;))...

    Made the trek out there. That Feery is the dirtiest player I have seen in a very long time. Off the ball rubbish all the time.

    Danny Hughes copped a corkie last week and was probably given the week's break to get it right.

    There's a fair chance however, that one or both of PJ or Robbo will line up against the Roos today.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
