On MMM Doc Peter larkins has suggested Bruce has nicked his hammy, which explains why he left the ground late in the last.

Opens the door for a number of youngsters. Bail/Gysberts?

As much as I hate to say this.....

We will be better off if he misses next week.

Why do you say that, is it because of the 10 turnovers he was involved in or just his poor disposal generally?.

... Bail/Gysberts?

Flip a coin on that one. Bail has been great in the games he has played and watching Gysberts at Casey he has impressed me also, although I feel Gysberts will be in the side later in the year. In saying that MacDonald might be back in the side next week, to replace Bruce...

Should have come and seat next to me. Could have helped me take on the mole to my left who kept bitching that we shouldn't complain about our players making mistakes, even if those players have been around for 200 games. Oh the rage!

We shouldn't ever be happy that one of our own is injured, but this is an exciting opportunity that we probably wouldn't have got to witness anytime soon since Bruce seems to be an untouchable.

So nobody heard the opinions of the commentators and Dr. Larkins that it was just a cramp? Jeez.

he kicked it out on the full. classic case of holding the hamstring as an excuse for a huge clanger. should be dropped for a young kid. give gysberts his first taste. johnson out for dunn. morton and wonna in for hughes and bennel.

Hughes is a bit stiff to be dropped, Bennell is showing signs but it just does not look like he is going to break the pack anytime soon (dont get me wrong, I love watching the young man play).... May be Bate missing out due to his ankle. Either way looks like great ins :)

Just doesn't make sense to me to drop young forwards when the main problem is getting smashed in the clearances whenever Jamar isn't able to give the mids an armchair ride, combined with absolutely terrible delivery into the forward line.

HFFs - even those with much more experience than Hughes & Bennell - will always struggle in that situation.

Some of our senior mids only seem to be effective if our ruck is dominating, which IMO is a serious concern into the future.

Bruce was building some nice form. He will be given a few weeks off to heal.

Bater didnt look right, he too will be given some time off.

Add PJ to that list (omitted)

You meant "moll" of course.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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
