MELBOURNE

Jack Grimes (hamstring) - 2-3 weeks

Jordie Gysberts (back) - 2-4 weeks

Rhys Healey (hamstring) - test

Danny Hughes (ankle) - 3-4 weeks

John Meesen (foot) - season

Brent Moloney (corked thigh) - test

Michael Newton (quad) - 1 week

Ricky Petterd (shoulder) - season

Jake Spencer (back) - 2 weeks

Grimes and Gysberts have been out for some time and it would appear a few weeks to go.

They are obviously a lot worse than I thought.

This list suggests to me that there is probaly only one possible change

this week ( unless there are injuries that we have not heard about ).

I think Trengrove will come back via Casey, that leaves only Mcdonld as a possible inclusion.

My guess NO CHANGE!

Trengove has been consistently in our bests throughout the year. Why would he be sent to the VFL for the first time after being rested?

Unless I am mistaken he has been out for two weeks and he was suposedly injured.

If there are no injuries from Sunday! who do you drop?

I think ever player in last weeks team deserves to be in Brisbane.

We know he can play and he will be back however guys like Maric need to be given a few games.

We need to know if he has what it takes.

Having said that he will probably get dropped for Trengove!

Damn back and hamstring injuries, always seem to grow into at least 8 weeks on the sidelines. Disappointing & unlikely to see Gysberts or sadly, Grimes again this year.

Unfortunately "Demon Jack" I think you are probably correct.

The up side is we seem to have a few to take their places,

this time last year it would have been a tragedy.

How did Jordan Gysberts go from test to 2-4 weeks?

I'd assume he has not made progress or even slipped backwards. May even be kept in cotton wool for season 2011, therefore not playing another game this year. This would be very sensible IMO.

Sif Moloney would miss 2 weeks with a corked though!!! This is Brent Moloney we are talking about!!!

His tweet from today read, "The leg's feeling better =) run/skills/weights/pilates/swim/hot colds/massage... pulled up well.

McDonald and Trengove will come back in ... maybe Moloney. Might be stiff on some players, but those 3 have been consistently amongst our best/most solid.

As we get better, these kind of selection "problems" will start to come with the territory. Mercifully we don't have to try and squeeze Grimes and Gysberts in as well ...

Will be great to see how they back up after a big win.

Whilst it may be disappointing if both McDonald and Moloney again do not make it into the final team by Saturday night... the team without them (and also without Grimes, Trengove, Petterd and Bate) smashed a top 8 side in Sydney by 73 points and were 91 points up halfway through the last quarter!

We can do it without them. We have the "cattle". However, it could be the difference between 73 points and 100 points. :P

The test showed his injury was worse than originally thought?

It would be a shame to see Trengove's chances of winning the Rising Star Award damaged if he was being further rested just to keep looking at lesser players in the team. Plus I always want to see our best available side running out. None of this 'give him a run so we can have a look at him' rubbish. If they are good enough, any player will force their way into the team, or take their chances when injuries open up a spot.

Maloney, McDonald, Trengrove all should come in if available as they are proven in our best 22. I would even suggest that throw in Green and Grimes and they almost make up our top 5 B&F. Warnock would be a chance to come in also after the job he did on Fevola last time (yes I know Fev kicked 4 goals but 3 of the 4 were cheapies).

So making way for 3 players at least, unlucky, but Morton (tight Gabba ground won't suit him), Watts (not doing enough), Jones (looks to be needing a rest).

Having said that, I cannot fault the match committee as they seem to be handling the team magnificently this year.

I think that bringing back three players who have been out for a few weeks is dangerous. How do you drop someone from a side that just had one of there best wins ? I don't think you can. Maric is safe this week by the way.

Can't agree. We didn't pick up a player at pick 4 to only play him at certain grounds. No way Morton will be dropped again this year.

Rubbish.

Trengove and Moloney have missed two weeks with minor injuries. Junior played last week at Casey and had 20+ possessions.

Its dangerous to leave out your inspirational captain, your leading midfielder and possible rising star award winner for good reason. If they are all fit then they should play.

Its a fantasy to say you cant drop someone after a good win. Its bollocks.Bail, Maric and Johnson are players who could be in the gun if the above three are fit.

Makes sense. But like all players Morton needs to sing for his supper.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
