Heard a rumour that Jake Spencer has done his knee and needs a reco... Did he pick up an injury at Casey yesterday?

Not saying that it is a definite but it's a pretty strong rumour going around..

Spencer & Fitzy are injured..

Spencer may be out for 2011

Bright side, Gawn will get more opportunities in first-grade VFL for Casey.

Reports are that he was a class above in the reserves.

Scullys 6 week injury is dragging out.. he was 6 weeks away on April 13 and on May 3 he was 5 weeks away. Surely his injury is much worse than expected. However, during the game yesterday I heard that he was on the track running this week. So fingers crossed he needs a few weeks to get his fitness back up. Then we can see him tear it up for the Demons.

could be a chance for micheal evans to be promoted as he has been showing strong progress for casey.

The way Bailey was talking up Scully's fitness and how he'll "quickly regain fitness as he is such a fit guy", tells me that they won't even bother with Casey practice games first and he'll go straight into the side (maybe as a sub) once he gets the all clear.

scully has started running this week which is a good sign

Spenser and Fitzpatrick injured suck for their development... but won't impact the senior team. Neither was close to selection.

Grimes is a big loss. sucks!

Can you imagine If jamar went down...

Gawn rucking at Casey with Campbell (soon hopefully) will be great for his development... not that i'm glad Spencer is gone, but i see more future in Gawn than Pencil.

Can you imagine If jamar went down...

don't even go there!!

Both Jake Spencer and Jack Fitzpatrick sustained their injuries during the second quarter at Preston yesterday.

Injuries are terrible but they're part and parcel of the game.

Sad for it to happen this way but the injuries will fast track Michael Evans' career. He played well again yesterday and his pace could be handy in Melbourne's midfield. This will accelerate his elevation from the rookie list and he could get a guernsey by mid year.

Dan Nicholson has been in good form at Casey as well but was subdued yesterday.

Best wishes to Jack and Jake for speedy recoveries!

With Gawn clearly 2-3 years away from senior footy, if Jamar went down Robbie Campbell would be heavily relied on.

He is now back from injury, drafting him could prove valuable.

Can you imagine If jamar went down...

Don't even look at bigfooty...someone has heard Jamar is out for four....the walls are caving in!!

surgery tomoz for fitzpatrick

Man i want to let lose every expletive i know!!! Really sucks, last year it was Petterd that went down early this year it's Grimes. All the best with your recovery Jacky boy, look forward to you tearing it up when you get back.

If Spencer's knee really does need a reco then this could be it for him at AFL level. I imagine coming back from a knee reco is going to take some serious time. Horrible news for Jake, the club and us fans.

Hopefully both boys can have a speedy recovery.

Tall stocks seem to be thinning. Campbell being rookie listed now looking like a master stroke.

surgery tomoz for fitzpatrick

lol where do u get all this inside information from??

The Skipper was on One Week At A Time on One HD again tonight looking far more relaxed than last week (BTW) They asked him about Scully and he said 3-4 weeks in a pretty positive manner. Hopefully it is the case.

Spencil's a big guy, they'll give him 2 years to recover.

Let's not go nuts, Campbell's barely played a VFL game yet, he's a long way away from being fit enough.

6-14 weeks fitz will be out for

Campbell has missed alot of football and has just recommenced playing. He is still terribly underdone.

Spencer was our insurance for Jamar. And we would have been better getting that game time into Spencer.

i was pretty rapt getting campbell to the club although injured. Could be a mater stroke by the FD. From all account is an exemplary bloke too.

You guys are in la la land about Campbell. Will never play senior footy again.

Think you are right, Good Gamble , Just did not come through
