    By my reckoning he was on the list until May 10.

    Then played 1+ quarters vs Swans May 19

    Then back on May 25 and has been on it for 11 weeks.

    Not exactly a great productive year.

    Does that mean he fronts for Casey this weekend?

    I really hope so

    Watts still in the test group, this had been a very serious minor ankle injury.

    I'm sure I read that McKenzie was a late replacement because of a knee complaint; yet the list has him as "shoulder (test)"?

    Edit:

    Thought so... from the MFC site game review:

    INJURIES

    Melbourne: Jordie McKenzie (knee) was a late withdrawal. Morton (shoulder)

    Thought so... from the MFC site game review:

    I always take the injury list with a grain of salt

    The only ones I believe is when they Say "Season or Indefinte"

    The rest is just to keep the troops happy.

    Maybe they meant he'd been kneed in the shoulder...

    Does that necessarily mean he'll be playing this week?

    I am sure I read somewhere that LJ will line up for Casey this week.

    What is up with Watts? I'm now officially getting worried. Four weeks is a long time. I hope it is not more serious than they are letting on.

    You don't believe the 224s? Sheesh you're a cynical old bastard :o

    I heard he did the ankle twice. Once was in the game, then he was pretty much right but aggravated/re-injured it in training, early word is he'll be right for this week.

    I bloody hope so. At the moment he's sitting on my Super coach bench with Mitch Robinson. With an elimination final and only 3 trades i want him back!

    I dont think soft as butter Jurrah will make it back before the years out.

    I've been under the impression all year that MFC are sneakily trying to keep him out of the spotlight, for his own sake.

    Not saying I know this as a fact, just where my instinct goes given the timing of his comeback and the length of time he's been out with seemingly minor injuries.

    "Soft as butter" is the last thing I'd call him though, if you've seen his reaction to his various injuries you'd know the guy has a pretty massive pain tolerance.

    Soft as butter? And I thought our problem was our inability to spread...

    (And I think your assessment is way off. With all the psychological trauma he's been through over many years, I suspect he's one of the mentally toughest players on our list.)

    He won't have much chance to build up his upper body before the most crucial year of his vocational life, but hopefully Misson can fatten him up around the middle - see if that helps the bloke.

    We could build a better side out of our injury list - than the side we have atm.

    15 on injury list

    22 + 3 emergencies to be named

    will only be 2 players not selected. My guess is that it will be Cook and Fitz

    Be interesting to know to what extent his ongoing shoulder issues over the past couple of months have effected him and his position in the team.

    • 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.
