This is from the Herald Sun. The injury list should be ignored because it looks like last week's injury list. Austin Wonaeamirri for example, was injured at Casey last week and due for scans on his ankle - no mention!

MELBOURNE

INJURED:

Addam Maric (illness) test

Michael Newton (foot) test

Jack Grimes (foot) season

Jordan Gysberts (wrist) season

Jake Spencer (knee) season

James Strauss (leg) season

Michael Evans (back) season

SUSPENDED: Colin Sylvia (2 weeks), Aaron Davey (1 week)

ON THE BLOCK: It would be a huge statement to drop captain Brad Green, but so was making him substitute last week. Aaron Davey struggled again - but will be out suspended anyway - and Jeremy Howe had his worst game for the year.

ON THE CUSP: Matthew Warnock keeps playing well for Casey yet consistently gets overlooked. Tom McNamara has shown a bit.

JON ANDERSON’S FORECAST: Coach Todd Viney has shown himself as capable of making the tough calls so don’t be surprised for some more. Neville Jetta is knocking on the senior door and would no doubt enjoy the Gold Coast at the MCG this Sunday.

Perhaps this one's a bit closer to the mark (adding the two suspended players for completeness):-

Aaron Davey (suspended) 1 week

Michael Evans (back) season

Jack Grimes (foot) season

Jordan Gysberts (wrist) season

Michael Newton (foot) test

Jake Spencer (knee) season

James Strauss (leg) season

Colin Sylvia (suspended) season

Luke Tapscott (hip) test

Austin Wonaeamirri (ankle) season

Aussie has had a woeful run of bad luck. Poor kid

geez I`d love to see a fit Grimes and Tapscott in our defense next year, Tapscotts kicking and toughness can be a real asset in years to come

I woldn't mind seeing either or both of them push up the ground. Grimes to the guts and Tappy to impersonate Chappy through the midfield and forward line.

Why are they testing Micheal Newtons foot? Should be his brain.....

Newton's foot must be very bad- he has been out for a very long time.

It might be the time of year or just plain bad luck but it seems we still can't take a trick on the injury front.

Melbourne and Casey team selection last night confirmed three more casualties above and beyond what's on the official injury list -

Lucas Cook - ?

Addam Maric - ?

Rick Petterd - quad
