    Analysing this a little deeper, our injury list isn't really that crippling to our best 22.

    Colin Sylvia (broken jaw) test- will play round 2 latest.

    Neville Jetta (groin) 1-2 weeks- borderline best 22, only a 2nd year player and doesn't play an important position. Only 1-2 weeks away regardless

    Jack Watts (back) 1-2 weeks- Not injured anymore... played 1/2 for Casey last week, so is not injured. Will play 2-3 weeks in Casey no doubt

    Sam Blease (ankle) 1-2 weeks-Not injured anymore... about to play first game for Casey. Yet to play an afl game, so no real loss

    Paul Johnson (foot) 4 weeks- Not near the best 22

    Cale Morton (knee) 8-10 weeks- Important player who'll be sorely missed

    Liam Jurrah (shoulder) Indefinite- important player who'll be sorely missed

    Daniel Bell (shoulder) Indefinite- Not near the best 22

    John Meesen (ankle) Indefinite- Not near the best 22-

    Max Gawn (knee) Indefinite-Not near the best 22 + first year player

    Luke Tapscott(hip) Indefinite- Not near the best 22 + first year player

    Basically, our only injuries that will effect us on field is Morton and Jurrah--- yes two important losses. But only really 2.

    Sylvia will play round 1 or 2. Watts will be playing at Casey this week, ready for AFL in 3-4 weeks.

    All is not lost

    I agree with you Sylvinator

    Here's the afl.com version:

    Colin Sylvia (jaw) - 1 week

    Paul Johnson (foot) - 1-2 weeks

    Neville Jetta (groin) - 3-4 weeks

    Daniel Bell (shoulder) - 4-5 weeks

    Cale Morton (knee) - 6-8 weeks

    Liam Jurrah (shoulder) - 14 weeks

    Max Gawn (knee) - indefinite

    John Meesen (ankle) - indefinite

    Luke Tapscott (hip) - indefinite

    Still no mention of Wonaeamirri. Odd.

    Great to see Watts, Blease & Garland off that list though.

    How did Tapscott get his injury - was he injured when we got him?

    This is the list at the club web site I think. I prefer http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/afl.php which provides a bit of detail like for Tapscott

    Luke Tapscott hip cartilage injury Pre-season Indefinite

    Has had hip arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum and will be ruled out until mid season

    Correct, along with Buddy of course!

    My borther and other Hawks are saying Nateman is a starter.

    What source for this claim?

    Neville Jetta (groin) 1-2 weeks- borderline best 22, only a 2nd year player and doesn't play an important position. Only 1-2 weeks away regardless If fit, with no Aussie and Maric not showing anything I believe he would be lining up this weekend

    Jack Watts (back) 1-2 weeks- Not injured anymore... played 1/2 for Casey last week, so is not injured. Will play 2-3 weeks in Casey no doubt Not ready for AFL, has been injured for a large part of the preseason. May have been in the best 22 with a full preseason.Sam Blease (ankle) 1-2 weeks-Not injured anymore... about to play first game for Casey. Yet to play an afl game, so no real loss. Not ready for AFL, has been injured for 12 months. May have been in the best 22 with 12 months development

    Paul Johnson (foot) 4 weeks- Not near the best 22 Not sure if he will ever be in the best 22, but no chance to step up due to injuries

    Cale Morton (knee) 8-10 weeks- Important player who'll be sorely missed

    Liam Jurrah (shoulder) Indefinite- important player who'll be sorely missed

    Daniel Bell (shoulder) Indefinite- Not near the best 22 I don't think he would be best 22, but has not been able to show if he can recapture past form due to injury

    John Meesen (ankle) Indefinite- Not near the best 22- Has been injured for almost 12 months after showing slight imporvment, may have been closer to best 22 if not injured

    Max Gawn (knee) Indefinite-Not near the best 22 + first year player

    Luke Tapscott(hip) Indefinite- Not near the best 22 + first year player

    I've made a few comments above. I agree most of these players are not in the best 22, but if they had not been injured for a long period they may have been. For some of them, the reason that they are no loss is becuase they have been injured.

    He and Buddy got suspended last year. He`s not playing

    He and Buddy got suspended last year. He`s not playing

    Yep, according to wikipedia "Chance with captain Sam Mitchell were the only Hawthorn player to play in all games in 2009. He Will miss the first game of 2010 because of a 1 game suspension for striking Matthew Lloyd of Essendon in the last game of 2009 season."

    Bateman always does a number on us whenever we play the Hawks. To my mind, his absence will harm them almost as much as that of Buddy and their entourage of injured ruckmen.

    First time in a while I've felt a fondness for Matthew Lloyd. :)

    Did the footy show have a squad for Saturday's game? No-one seems to have posted it anywhere. I caught the last half hour or so and other teams' squads were presented. So ours must have been? Have I missed it here? Or has no-one posted it?

  • Quote

    Squads released this arvo.

    The footy show showed teams bit they seemed completely made up.

    I noticed on the afl website for the Melbourne Hawthorn preview that Sylvia was listed as 1 week. He could be the difference of he could get up for it.

    Not sure why you think they were made up 45. I am under the impression that clubs are required to release their squads (enough players to fill all positions including emergencies) 3 days prior to the game, then finalise their teams 2 days before the game, and obviously submitting their final team sheet 45 minutes before the game (I think). Under no circumstances can the team include players that aren't in the initial squad, otherwise the get hefty fines.

    I may be incorrect in the above timelines, and am happy for someone to confirm otherwise, but to say that The Footy Show made a team up is ridiculous.

    Squads are released at 5pm Thursday, unless your game is on Thursday, for which it is released at 5pm Wednesday.

    Not so ridiculous after all.

    Don't the squads need to get released before the team? There is a difference (ie. Squads will be released this afternoon at 5pm for teams playing on Sunday. Teams playing on Friday and Saturday will release their teams at 5pm tonight).

    If it is only different this week because of the Thursday game, why do teams that are playing on Sunday need to release their squads on the Thursday?

  • Quote

    Regardless of what was released and its validity, was something put on the screen for melbourne vs hawthorn?

    Yes Pringle, showed an extended bench that included Trengove, Scully and Strauss. Couldn't tell you much more as I was watching it at about 12:30am - TFS is delayed in Qld.

  • Quote

    To support my stance, Spencer was listed on the bench...(cue Elevation) and the teams haven't been released yet. That's why I thought it. I don't see it as being ridiculous.

    There is neither a deadline for preliminary 'squads' this far ahead of games, nor does Channel 9 make up the squads they show when their broadcast is shown early in the week.

    The clubs submit a sort of draft squad purely for the benefit of The Footy Show which they are in no way obligated to maintain. What you saw last night will be indicative of what we will see at 5pm tonight but last night's version is entirely unofficial insofar as any number of changes may be made.

    This is exactly the same situation as what we see every year when TFS shows the extended 'squads' for the QB game on the Thursday night broadcast.

    Strauss WILL play.

    I have never once seen a kid included on an extended bench for what will be his first AFL game and not get in on gameday.

    I've noticed this about 10 years ago and without fail the kid always plays.

    If my eyes didn't deceive me, the Footy Show had McKenzie down for a spot on the half back flank.

    I noticed McKenzie's name as well but I thought it was on the extended bench.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
