Starting off early with Luke Tapscott's Twitter:

Doc thinks 3-4.. Hopefully no longer!

Round 12/13 we should have most players back, baring Grimes and perhaps Garland.

That's assuming there are no more injuries between now and then.

Melbourne had the best run of injuries I could remember up until the Adelaide game, then disaster.

If we weren't so thin at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if Jurrah was given a week to rest whatever seems to be niggling him. Unfortunately, with so many out he is just going to have to play through it.

Or should they just bite the bullet and give him a week off anyway?

Yep wonder if it had anything to do with the grueling training session after the WC loss, probably just coincidence

Heart strings can heal quickly, just a few goals early is all that they need.

Don't see how he could help. He's supposed to be creating forward pressure as a small forward but he's not.

Could chuck him in the backline and see how Carlton do it though

Holey Moley. He's gone from 3 weeks to test in one single week.

He must be Superman!

Versus the previous four games when he has been there!

Sure we are not falling for a line by the FD to throw Carlton off a bit.

I will believe it when he runs out friday night.

Sorry Eth38 put this on the wrong comment

The unavailable list (ordered by weeks):

I would just love to see Scully, Trengove, Tapscott, Bail, Garland, Jamar all back in, and all playing rounds 15-24. When I say that, I feel for Grimes missing these games, so unfortunate.

But to see Gysberts, McKenzie, Tapscott, Trengove, Bail & Scully all playing during this period with Jamar in the ruck, would put a smile on my dial. I know injuries happen, but I hope we haven't to endure anymore long term injuries for the remainder. Unlikely but fingers crossed anyway. I just see that it's important they get games all together. Sooner the better.

I'm hoping that Blease & Strauss get a look in - in the meantime.

Whilst he hasn't been great, I hardly think he deserves to be dropped, considering the terrible quality of the delivery he has had to contend with.

I think Bate, Newton and Petterd are far bigger worries for us than LJ's efforts.

If we didn't select him because of his injury/injuries - which are apparent for all to see - then we wouldn't be dropping him...

Absolutely. I think we'd be a decent team.

I share your pain re: Grimes.

I'm hoping that Blease & Strauss get a look in - in the meantime.

Bleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

jamar said on the sunday footy show he is 2 weeks away

That's good news. Better to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Davey might be out with knee soreness, apparently: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/just-when-davey-looked-safe-knee-lets-him-down-20110524-1f2ik.html

Sorry if this has been mentioned already but fox sports last night stated that Scully will be lining up in the VFL this week. Not quite sure how true it is but it was definately stated!
