Michael Newton's out 4-6 with a foot injury.

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

Clint Bartram (hip) - test

Robbie Campbell (knee soreness) - test

Aaron Davey (knee) 6-8 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) - 6 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) - 5 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Mark Jamar (knee) - 3 weeks

Michael Newton (foot) - 4-6 weeks

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

Luke Tapscott (hamstring) - 2 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?

VERY! BIRTH OF THE HURRICANE IMMINENT! :blink:

here's hoping they dont bring Dunn back!

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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
