Anyone know the latest with these guys who must have question marks for round 1?

Rivers - Got injured in NAB 3. Wearing a knee brace last week, according to a training report here.

Grimes - Didn't participate in training last week, doing handball drills on boundary line. Missed NAB 4.

Frawley - Went off injured in NAB 4.

Joel MacDonald - A mystery. Was our best player in NAB 1. Missed NAB's 3 and 4 for no apparant reason. You'd think he would've played in all pre-season games to adjust to his new club. Must be injured.

Hopefully all these players have minor issues and will play against Hawthorn as they're all important players.

From Family Day, in a quick word at the stands they were at,

Grimes - spoken to him a few times in the past, assured me he was just rested as he was a bit sore from time in the middle and was sweet.

Frawley (sitting next to Grimes) - had a pressure bandage on his calf, asked him, assured me precaution, sweet as for Rd 1

Rivers - bouncing round on the Polaroid Photo stand sitting, standing, etc, didn't seem in any discomfort, told me he was sweet.

Joel Mac - a very quick word, said he was fine, end of conversation....

Can't speak about the other 3, but i had a great chat with Jack Grimes one on one at the family day and he said he did not pull up sore from NAB 3 as suggested. He was rested because he had played all 3 previous NAB games. This was the directive from coaching and medical staff. Also said he was "pumped" for round 1. Very down too earth good bloke!

Daz Dee's yes that was probably me paraphrasing for Jack Grimes, he probably said rested which I thought meant sore, the only concern I had about the uninjured players on the day was Matty Bate, he seemed very subdued, could be just a bit knackered from the game the day before.

especially if Sylvia somehow returns for round 1.

well don't hold your breath for that, 2 weeks for a broken jaw would be a miracle... but as you say, it's still not that bad... Bate, Bruce and Davey will all be there, so Morton and Jurrah are the only other ones that will truly be missed, perhaps Garland also, and it would be nice to have Watts out there. Still, could be a lot worse

They're saying he could return. He'd wear a helmet if he did though from what I've heard.

If it was up to Sylvia he'd probably play this week. I'd love to see him out there but we can't risk another broken jaw, hopefully the medico's make the right decision whatever that may be.

Rumour is young Trengove has a bit of an injury - nothing too serious and shouldn't stop him from round 1, contact your sources and figure that one out ladies and gents.

I heard he had a cork thigh which slowed him down in the match against the wiggles. He still played a good percentage of the game and has two weeks to recover.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
