Wonna has already played two games for Casey Reserves so he is properly not on the injury list.

I know, I'm just pointing out that he's not there.

I want him to play.

Morton test!! That went by so fast!!

Surely a game at Casey first... Mustn't get all excited about him potentially coming straight back in...

Just a smidgeon of a chance...???

I'd expect Cale probably wont play this week but will then have 1 or two outings at Casey. I'm expecting a round 10 return against the Cats at Skilled, the venue where he kicked his first goal!

Out too long not to play a game for Casey you'd think. One match in the seniors for fitness purposes, then straight in the MFC side for mine. Not unlike Garland's path back.

Can't wait to have him back. As you've said, that time has whizzed by fast. Can't believe it's round 7 already.

The usual practice when players have been out for a long time (in Morton's case I'd say it's been 10 or 11 weeks) is to give players a half or three quarters. Cale's a pretty fit person usually so it could be close to the latter but it still could mean that he starts out with the Casey ressies.

He wouldn't have lost much aerobic fitness you wouldn't think, and he isn't coming back from the sort of injury that requires slow progression and extreme precaution like soft tissue or stress fracture, so I would think one week with Casey seniors just to dust off the cobwebs and then straight back into the seniors.

Morton will go to Casey for at least one week, but we could ease him back after just 1 week by playing him forward/bench.

If 1 week is enough he'll come back for the West Coast match. But after that it's the Darwin trip then the Cats in Geelong. The West Coast match could be one he could be eased into.

But the last thing we can afford is to rush him back.

So this post is a little bit all over the place.

Different kind of fitness though. I know when I played footy the first real training session was to get your body used to hits again. It's not all about endurance, it's also limiting the amount of energy you lose when you get smashed to the ground. Being smart about contests. I reckon he'll do a Garland. He'll play his first game at the Scorps... and they'll give him a half or maybe 3 quarters. And after that as soon as he plays a dominant game, in he comes onto a wing.

MFC outs will have something to do with it too. Bail and Jordie still have to come back in.

In other news... I'd love to see a number next to Tapscott's name, instead of "indefinite". I was VERY excited about him early this year. His hardness would be useful in the forward line at the moment.

PS... Perhaps Morton can go into defence, freeing up Grimes to dip into the midfield again? Any takers?

2 weeks for the Scorps for me. There are still a few players banging on that door for a spot. Cale is always the better option, but a few weeks to get his legs back might be the best thing.

Liam Jurrah is sitting on 8 weeks...he's an obvious replacement for pettard...if melb can manage a few wins within this time it will be exciting for the team to have him back. plus it will certainly make the time go by quicker.

Has anyone seen Cale recently? I'm interested to know if he has put on any weight in the last couple of months.

He said at half time on Saturday that he'd have a couple of weeks at Casey and then be back by round 9ish

How impressive was Cale in that interview - he might have some talent as a boundary rider or presenter or something.

Agreed. He was ridiculously impressive. A media career beckons IMO post-footy.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
