Round 19 injury list

Rohan Bail (knee) - 2 weeks

Clint Bartram (hip) - test

Aaron Davey (knee) - test

Jack Grimes (foot) - season

Joel Macdonald (knee) - test

Michael Newton (foot) - 2-3 weeks

Tom Scully (knee) - test

Jake Spencer (knee) - season

Michael Evans (back) - TBA

 

Bad luck for Michael Evans. The letters TBA suggest some problems at least in the short term and it's a great pity because he would have been close to a promotion based on his last two or three games at Casey.

On the matter of injuries, I notice that the Bulldogs, who were close to full strength when they played us (bar Lake) have been decimated by injuries. Had we been drawn to play them this week rather than before the bye, we might have been a good chance to beat them.

It would have been nice to have played the Hawks without Rioli, Sewell and Lewis.

That's life, I suppose.

And now the cats are set to welcome back Mooney, Ling, Stevie J and I think one more big name. Oh well no good praying to just play depleted teams, no improvement will come from that! Then again maybe a little confidence. I'll take any wins at this stage.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
