Guess that pretty much stamps Gawn for Friday now if there was any doubt.

Rohan Bail (knee) - 4 weeks

Clint Bartram (hip) - test

Robbie Campbell (knee soreness) - test

Aaron Davey (knee) 6-8 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Mark Jamar (knee) - 3 weeks

Add to this Austin Wonaeamirri who is out on compassionate leave and back home on the Tiwi Islands.

    I know I'll probably cop it for this, but I feel just about as good as I did hearing the Dunn suspension news as I do hearing this. Yes, never feel good about an injury, but......

    HOWE GAWN ARE WE?

    Honestly, did we annoy the big guy/girl upstairs, what happened to the one-week hammy? Everything is at least 4-6 weeks and I'm not talking about Nick Smith here.

    would like to think he was going to be dropped anyway a total waste of space who should have got arse long ago . Howe deserves a crack and lets have a look at the string bean...

    Dunn will come back - he's the only one who can play forward and pinch-hit in the ruck.

    Whether under normal circumstances he would be considered is another question!

    Ditto, I want Dunn to serve his time @ Casey for a bit.

    Bring in HOW EE! But I would have replaced Petterd with Howe, but now Newton is injured, I'd prefer not to lose the mature player. So maybe Petterd stays, but McDonald comes in as the big forward for Newton. Gawn to ruck.

    Hmmn, interesting, isn't it.

    Would never wish an injury apon someone, having said that I wanted him out of the side so I guess I got my wish.

    Surely there's little doubt now, Gawn's in.

  • Quote

    Wow, the ride never stops this season.

    To those taking a stab at the guy, I saw more decent efforts from Newton than I did from many of the other players vs Carlton (despite a few very obvious mistakes).

  • Quote

    Newton presented probably as often and as well as any other forward. At the moment he is the only player fit -- in a physical and performance sense -- for that position.

    Surely that's the banner this week?

    Hoping the same thing but of course, they will!

    I just received a call from the club asking me if I wanted a game this Friday night.

    Probably after the surgeon didn't give me the all clear to play. Must suck being choice #87 B)

    Please tell me you're not Lynden Dunn!

    Dunn has to play, we are running out of troops! Gawn has to get a look.

    FCS, it's only Tuesday and we've already lost two players this week for an extended period.

    What puzzles me this year is this strange phenomenon of a player who has played out a game with a little "niggle" that during the next week turns out to be a significant injury. Jamar, Davey, now Newton; Scully (to some extent, I can't remember whether he played out the game) in pre-season.

    You should- whatever else he tries his guts out for our team

    Surely once we get this winning three-way back on field we can't lose?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
