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)...

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

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

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

Bubblewrap alert!

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!!!

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

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

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.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, WHAT ARE OUR INCOMPETENT MEDICAL STAFF DO... oh.

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

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
