Neville Jetta (ankle) - indefinite

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - 3 weeks

Never thought I'd view a lengthy injury list and think that the most disappointing name to see on it is James Strauss. Gysberts as well. These are two was really hoping would step up this year.

Jack - Spencer was listed as 1 last week and I was surprised, so it would seem he's done with his injury, though there'd be some serious cobwebs to blow out through the Casey 2's. I know many don't rate him, but I'm pleased he's back nice and early; some pressure on Jamar can only be a good thing in his current form.

I was worried about Strauss last week when he said his leg hurts after a game.

That did not sound good and now he has two weeks rest.

We need as few injuries as possible so to get Spencer back can only be good news no matter what I think of him.

Good to see Taggert no longer "indefinite".

Taggert- 3 weeks- you beaut!

Jetta- Indefinite.. how is an ankle injury indefinite? What is the mystery there? It's an ankle- diagnose the problem and give us a time frame!

As far as I can remember, Spencer was starting to look the goods just before injury took him down again. I know in the Shanghai Showdown game he put in a very good effort (for what it's worth).

This is usually the way - there is some residual dull pain.

I might have given you the wrong idea hardtack I actually like him.

Yes he had improved and he has some mongrel about him.

That is a commodity we are a little short on.

I didn't get the wrong impression at all... I thought you probably did like him... I have to say I'm a bit of a fan as well, just as I have been of Jones since he first started with the club and he became everyone's favourite whipping boy... perseverance pays off in many instances, and I have hope that Spencer, like Jones, will do himself and his team proud.

According to Demonland Fitzy was a delist dud too until quite recently.

Sylvia's return is predicted now at 7 weeks after he got the injury. Probably shouldn't be surprised as sounded fairly serious.

Posted

Will he still have to serve that one match ban?

And anyone know the info on Jetta? I still think he can offer us something, would hate to see him delisted with such limited game time

Posted

Can I shuffle this chronologically?

Beamer and Stef to be tested and a few others who didn't play last week due back.

Stef Martin (hip) - test

Brent Moloney (groin) - test

-----------------------------------------

James Strauss (leg) - 2 weeks

Colin Sylvia (back) - 3 weeks

-----------------------------------------

Lucas Cook (groin) - 2 weeks

Rory Taggert (back) - 3 weeks

Liam Jurrah (wrist) - 3 weeks

Jordan Gysberts (ankle) - 3 -5 weeks

-----------------------------------------

Neville Jetta (ankle) - indefinite

Michael Evans (back) - indefinite

Max Gawn (knee) - season

-----------------------------------------

I find it easier to read this way.

Posted

Doubt it, he'll probably just lose one match payment or something.

If Neville misses the season, this might be it for him.

Hope he gets better soon.

Eleven out of the squad of 46 are on the injury list - that's nearly 25% of our squad. At the moment we haven't got enough suitable players at Casey to replace all the out-of-form players in the Firsts.

Last week we were so short of players at Casey, Kyle Mathews had to ring his brother to see if he wants a game along with another ring in to make up the numbers in the 2nds...

That stat is never mentioned by the media when they can us for losing. 3-4 good players can make a big difference.

Didn't see N.Jones at training today. Beamer didnt train went straight to rooms after initial warmup. Stef trained entire session looked little bit sore though. Would expect Couch to debut.

wouldn't most other teams have about 10 players injured at any given time?

Posted

The number of players missing last weekend was actually 15 but a couple like Aaron Davey and Josh Tynan weren't injured but rather rested. Davey wasn't selected for Casey but arrived back in Melbourne on a late flight with Tynan who also did not play for Casey. Dan Nicholson was under a club suspension.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
