What are we doing????

All our good players are out,

WATTS has the longest twisted ankle in history.

JAMAR a seven week calf strain.

MARTIN runs out a game then all of a sudden has an injury

And FRAWLEY get an injury last minute.

They are the suss ones not to mention long term injuries to CLARKE etc

We have 17 on the injury list that is almost 40% of our list. Something stinks and i want to know what. Us members need to hear the truth.

The season has long been over.

If there is ANY risk of long term injury aggravation then it is clearly not worth a risk.

IF we can get everyone up and ready for preseason then we may have a decent opportunity of a decent ladder climb next year.

It is NOT tanking; it is sensible player / list management.

Those players who were named as uncontracted till October in The Age this week, deserve a chance to show their wares.

The AFL call it Free Agency and for clubs with no finals pretensions it seems honourable to give loyal and hard working MFC players the chance show another club that they might be worth drafting...

Calm down folks. Might not be the end of the world. Tom McD will go to Reiwoldt and Sellar will take Koschitzke. Rather Chip have a rest than get a more serious injury.

Bater might play forward and tear them apart! ;)

(i'd also like to take this opportunity to remind people that by my calculations this means 8 of our best 18 are not on the G today - let alone best 22. Please take this into consideration when you begin to scream about how shite we are at 4:30 this afternoon)

Agree with Heart beats true. Not the end of the world (yet).

Curious to know if you guys were at the Saints game earlier in the year. Very close to snatching that one; Hayes was the difference. Can we do it again? If not, what will be different this time?

Melbourne changes since round 5

Ins - Jetta, Blease, Tapscott, Strauss, Spencer, Green

Outs - Davey, Morton, Frawley, Bartram, Jamar, Watts

Apart from Blease being in better form than Morton you could argue that all the ins are not quite as good as their equivalent outs

(Clark was injured with concussion so missed the round 5 match)

Good post. It would be interesting to look at this for equivalent games over the last 4-6 weeks.

Does it really matter who is in the team today?

Let the coaches have the last few weeks to watch players under match conditions.

Neeld is giving Bater every chance to stay on the list. He wants him. Bitty Matty has to do it.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
