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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
