From the Herald Sun

MELBOURNE

INJURED:

Rohan Bail (knee) 3-4 weeks 

Aaron Davey (knee) 2-3 weeks

Jack Fitzpatrick (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jack Grimes (foot) season 

Neville Jetta (hand) 2 weeks

Michael Newton (foot) 4 weeks

Jake Spencer (knee) season

ON THE BLOCK:

Sam Blease, Jamie Bennell, Liam Jurrah.

ON THE CUSP:

 

Luke Tapscott, Matthew Bate.

AL PATON’S FORECAST:

Tapscott has played two games in the VFL after a long layoff with a hamstring injury and is ready to go. Jurrah is unlikely to lose his spot for the game in his home state.

[Samsara 65]

Bail doesn't seem to improve which is a worry. Hope Tapscott is back in.

[BAMF 4,306]

Isn't Bailey talking up the possibility of Davey playing this week?

[Clanger King 9]

I think you will find it's last weeks.. On afl.com it's says Melbournes injury list is TBC

Beats Me WJ I would say that the above may be close to the truth.

However all clubs play funny buggars with their injury lists so who could tell what is the real truth.

I can never understand who they think they are fooling.

Serves little useful purpose that I can tell.

Has our messing about with injuries and who is in the team when named on thursday won us a game?

From our results you would have to say no.

I've heard that Grimes is a chance to sneak in a couple of games later in the season. This comes from a friend who knows the Grimes family.

...and didn't he say as much on one of the Sunday footy shows a couple of weeks ago?

Would love to see Grimes back this season.

[old dee 23,782]

Would love to see Grimes back this season.

I don't his injury is a very serious one it took Garland a full year to recover from a similar injury..

Lets get him cherry ripe for 2012.

we are not going to miss the grand final because he is out.

Too good a player to risk for a match at the end of the year.

Maybe so, just passing on what I was told.

Agreed, there wouldn't be much value in Jack coming back underdone.
