Apart from Tom Mac, there's no let up in sight according to the BAROMETER and Colin Sylvia's out for 3 weeks as well.

Mark Jamar (groin) 1-2 weeks

Jack Watts (hamstring) 1-2 weeks

Jack Grimes (collarbone) 6-7 weeks

Mitch Clark (foot) 6-7 weeks

Jack Trengove (calf) 2-3 weeks

Tom McDonald (shoulder) TBA

This doesn't take into account the obligatory one or two mystery injuries of the week.

IMO, we just swap 8 or 9 players with Casey and be done with it.

Inclusions should be Nev Jetta, Jimmy T and Jack Fitzpatrick as well as Tom.

    Fitzpatrick must play, he's kicking goals regularly and we need that, even if they're not neccesarily pretty.

    Magner must come in for Sylvia

    Nev Jetta to come in for Nicho or Strauss

    McDonald to come in for Sellar if fit

    Jack watts spoke in Hassatt room on Sunday hoping to play this week.

    Jetta spoke as well, he has been told that he has to earn his spot back through Casey as he was suspended.

    I hope they make Colin Sylvia do the same.

    He will need to learn how to conquer his fear of getting anywhere near the ball....

    Do you reckon? I think he broke a few lines last night...went straight at it.

    Ask yourself, if a defender isn't near the ball is that a bad thing?

    I'd rather Strauss get 10 disposals and use them effectively whilst his man gets 10 than Nicholson's 20 with 10 turnovers and his opponent get 20.

    I think some of those injury projections are from the club's list last week. Let's see what Misson has to say tomorrow.

    Casey having a bye last week hasn't helped clarify things.

    So, will Magner come in?

    Doubtful if you go by this article on the club website - McDonald set to miss two matches

    I have the impression from what's written in the article that the club doesn't consider that Mitch Clark or Jack Grimes have injuries that will keep them off the playing field for the 9 weeks (8 rounds + the bye) necessary to be put on the LTI. Therefore, unless there's a mystery injury or retirement, Magner would be forced to wait until after round 11 when the club can activate one rookie elevation without putting a player on the LTI. I'm not that big a fan of Magner (too slow) but with Sylvia's suspension, he might have been handy in the midfield.

    There does seem some hope of Jamar, Watts and possibly Trengove coming in so the information in the OP looks to be a bit dated.

  • Quote

    WJ, I thought Grimes was already put on the LTI. We just haven't promoted anyone yet.

    And from the CBA my reading is 8 weeks, not 8 rounds, same as Gawn was at the start of the season.

    Do you guys really think all those players are legitimately injured?

    I think their is a possibility some are just being protected from the media due to lack of form

    The Age list seems to be more up to date than the one in the HUN:

    Mark Jamar (groin) test,

    Jack Trengove (calf) test,

    Jack Watts (hamstring) test,

    Tom McDonald (shoulder) 1-2 weeks,

    Nathan Stark (groin) 2 weeks,

    Mitch Clark (foot) 5-7 weeks,

    Jack Grimes (shoulder) 6-8 weeks.

    • 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.
