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?

Leigh Williams hasn't played with Casey for a couple of weeks and Michael Evans is also out for the season. We also know about Liam Jurrah having gone to SA to be with family to prepare for his court case.

SAM LANDSBERGER’S FORECAST: ......Expect it to play out with a Dockers win, but not by much.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
