The Herald Sun's Footy Barometer for Round 23 is out and here's the story on MELBOURNE:

INJURIES:

Stef Martin (ankle) test

Clint Bartram (knee) season

Jamie Bennell (knee) season

Mitch Clark (foot) season

Aaron Davey (foot) season

Max Gawn (knee) season

Cale Morton (shoulder) season

Ricky Petterd (achilles) season

Rory Taggert (back) indefinite

Kelvin Lawrence (left the club)

Brad Green (retired)

ON THE BLOCK: Out comes Brad Green who retired yesterday and received a fitting farewell with Adelaide showing enormous respect to one of the game’s more popular figures. But it was a pretty sloppy display from the Dees with many players fighting for their careers.

ON THE CUSP: Mark Jamar surprisingly played VFL for Casey on Saturday. He’s fit to take on big Sandilands this week, while surely Mark Neeld should give Jack Fitzpatrick a go. He kicked four goals again in the VFL and is a monster ruck-forward with just two games to his name. Jordan Gysberts and James Magner dominated the midfield but Brent Moloney’s impact was just OK despite 24 possessions. Will he wear Demon threads again?

SAM LANDSBERGER’S FORECAST: Intriguing final game this week, with the Dees headed to Perth to face finals-bound Fremantle. If other results go to script, the Dockers will enter knowing a loss will sew up a home final against West Coast – the first time that has ever happened. But the Dees can’t really afford to win either – if they do they’ll trade picks 3 and 4 for 5 and 6 with the Bulldogs and surely lose any hope of snaring father-son gun Jack Viney in the second round. Expect it to play out with a Dockers win, but not by much.

Stef Martin's an interesting one because I was sure I heard he was out for the season. If he comes in it would be to help Casey out as surely he wouldn't be going to Perth on the back of several weeks out with an ankle injury?

    What? We'll get close against a final bound team in Perth? Really?

    • 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.
