Matthew Bate (ankle) test

Sam Blease (leg) 2-3 weeks

Cameron Bruce (hamstring) test

Jack Fitzpatrick (shoulder) 2-3 weeks

Max Gawn (knee) indefinite

Liam Jurrah (shoulder) 5-6 weeks

Stefan Martin (hip) 1 week

John Meesen (ankle) indefinite

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) season

Luke Tapscott (hip) 6-8 weeks

Good news for Brucey to come up as Test after Larkins' early prediction of 2-3. Ditto Bate being some chance of coming up.

Poor Sammy Blease still not getting a fair run at it. Important to remember just how much time is on his side though.

SUPER exciting to see some numbers alongside LJ now rather than the ugly Indefinite. Gives some genuine hope we'll see him in the last 5-6 games of the year.

Hopefully Jurrah will be back before Round 15

not good news about blease. does anyone knows whats wrong ?

He did break his leg last year. Considering how much you run in AFL it's tough on your legs.

Don't worry, he'll hopefully break into the team this year if he's fit.

Absolutely thrilled by that list. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for our guys. Even if we don't see Gawn and Blease this year, they'll be nice and fresh for next year with a full preseason behind them. It will be great to see Jurrah back in the red and blue when we make our big charge and take a few prize scalps.

Almost at the midpoint of the season I think we can glean from this that

Meesen wont be back this year, his ankle must be absolutely stuffed so he'll be delisted which

is really disappointing for him not to of shown his best while with us.

Good to see Tapscott with some numbers against his name too

Disappointing that Gawn is still listed as indefinate as he has stated to several people that he would be back in 3/5 weeks from now.

Sam must have really broken that leg bad-(car accident Bad) He will be back as he is only young, but it will take time.

Remember Jason Snell (Geelong) Breaking Leg Bones in this sport is not good-But Sam just has to be patient & not over do his rehab/physiotherapy program.

At his age the bones are still fusing.together

Not to mention the fact that he injured his knee in TAC Cup Round 5 last year which means he's already been out for in excess of 12 months which is much longer than usual for an ACL.

Perhaps one's recovery time is in direct proportion to one's height. :) ?

I didn't see his injuring himself, but I suspect there's a bit of selection byplay going on.

My tips -

Bate out injured/ 1 week. > for Miller.

Bruce out injured/ 2-3 weeks. > for Joel Macdonald

Bennell out/ > for Jetta.

PJ out/ > for Newton - 1 week.

Poss? Sylvia out rested/ > for Gysberts...

We said the same thing about Blease last year and look how it has turned out.

Cant wait to see LJ back.

Spoke to Gawn at training last week, and he stated he would be ready to play in 4-5 weeks

Is Rohan Bail okay? Haven't seen or heard his name for a while. He was burning before he got injured and really offered us another hard running option.

Played VFL on the weekend here is the coach's review.

Rohan Bail - Kicks 7, Marks 2, Handballs 5, Tackles 3

Rohan got through his first game in three weeks. He came on and showed some of that trademark run that he’s got in his game. He set up some midfield connections and handball linkage and setup. He played around the wing and half forward, and a bit on the ball, and he got through, which is good. Hopefully he’ll build on that now.

He played for Casey on saturday - little impact according to the player review but good for the run...

He had nerve damage around the groin area so couldn't have been good!!

I'm real sorry to get personal, but i'm laid up in bed sick so my patience is a little thin.

If you haven't got anything to add, whats the point in posting?

To quote your interests........ aaaaDUUUUUHHHHH!! :rolleyes::blink::rolleyes:

That is all. Apologies again.

Not as silly as you put it. I think one's weight would definitely affect how long you are out of the game for. Hopefully whatever it is slowing him up they get it 100% right the first time around.

I'm interested in Blease's recovery. I don't know enough about what happens when you train on a old broken leg. I presume you get some pretty bad aching and a bit of inflammation can flare up again and this is probably what happened with Blease. So the management is probably more rest for a while to let it all work itself out.

Regarding Blease, rumour is the villian now resides on the North rookie list.

Good enough for me. If fit, Bail is an in. :)

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
