Great to see 5 players back this week......

Five Return From Injury

Injury list

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

Max Gawn (knee) - season

Jack Grimes (shoulder) - 1-2 weeks

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - 3-4 weeks

Cale Morton (knee) - 1 week

Jake Spencer (knee) - 6-8 weeks

Rory Taggert (back) - 3 weeks

Leigh Williams (back) - 3 weeks

Aside from the news about Jurrah being granted leave to return home the amount of players available for round 1 is looking good.

Hoping Grimes and Morton can get at least 1 full pre-season game in before round 1 just to top it off (of course with no other injuries)...

    Grimes is now another 1-2 weeks away, same as last week.

    What's the bet he doesn't play next week?

    Bubblewrap alert!

    Morton may struggle to get a run for quite a few weeks until his works on his game at Casey ,I reckon .

    If Michael Evans is now out indefinitely does this mean we are able to elevate another rookie ?

    Hope this is not a "Geelong" 1-2 weeks.

    I remember a couple of years ago Ottens was out for 1- 2 weeks that kept on that way for 2 months.

    No this is the MFC we tell the truth!!!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Evans a rookie himself?

    JT, Tappy, and Jordie. Three guys i'm very happy to see getting pre-season game time.

    Fair effort by James Strauss to be back available for selection. To be honest, when he suffered that injury I thought we wouldn't see him at all in 2012.

    Strauss, WOW, thats amazing and a credit to HIM and ALL concerned.

    No correction needed.

    So, based on this information Evans, Gawn, Jurrah, and Spencer will be unavailable for selection for round 1. Not too shabby, considering that Jurrah is probably the only player that would be pushing for selection if he were fit anyway.

    I wouldn't mind at all if it's a "Geelong 1-2 weeks"...didn't Ottens come back in time to win a premiership with the Cats? I could live with that sort of injury concern.

    Yes he did.

    I would be happy for Jurrah to appear early August in time for the GF.

    Well we can dream?

    Evans and Williams were never going to play much in early part of 2012, with Nicholson, Couch and Magner well ahead at this stage. Taggert a first year player, wouldn't get a look in for round 1 and Gawn and Spenser affect our ruck depth, but not in the early part of the season, with Martin and Jamar clearly our number 1 and 2.

    Morton and Grimes will still get to play 1 nab cup game and will be available for selection round 1.

    That pretty much leaves Jurrah as our only best 22 player out for round 1. A pretty decent result. Let's hope Jurrah can play before too long also

    • 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.
