Has anyone got any further information on Garland and Gawn - meant to be Ok to play a fortnight ago and neither has been picked in the 2's again this week?

    Frustrating isn't it in fact Garlo told a mate of mine at the Casey game last Sunday that he expected to be running around this week.

    Erring on the side of caution it seems.

    Very frustrating considering the club stated on 18th March - Col Garland (ankle) 2-3 weeks away. Af as I recall we have not been informed of any set back or problems as early as this Tuesday.

    Exactly, nothing on twitter, news print or any of the footy sites to indicate where Col is at.

    We are not alone on this. For example Deledio was fine at training, then would miss one week, now misses another and yesterday he said he was now unsure of when he would return. Kreuzer had a similar story, starting with he was fine and ending with 12-14 weeks out and an operation.

    Clearly injuries are a very inexact science.

    Too complicated.

    The ebb tide surely - another injury, to Michie this time...and Hogan still a helluva way off, Clark retired.

    Not exactly great news.

    That's a bit pessimistic... Give or take a week or two, we've got Jamar, Garland, Gawn and Dawes back or close to back, which quite outweighs one broken jaw to a fringe midfielder.

    Surely we know by now - whatever Misso tells us, double it.

    With the MFC list effectively reduced to 43 (including 4 rookies), we now have an injury list of only 5:-

    Jesse Hogan

    Colin Garland

    Viv Michie

    Luke Tapscott

    Max Gawn

    There's a chance that three of this list will be right to play VFL next week so, fingers crossed, we're getting close to our best position injury-wise in a long time.

    MELBOURNE

    INJURIES

    Jesse Hogan (back) 2-3 weeks

    Max Gawn (hamstring) test

    Viv Michie (jaw) 3 weeks

    Colin Garland (ankle) test

    ON THE BLOCK: After Melbourne’s first win for the season it’s hard to see Paul Roos making any major changes for the game against Gold Coast on Sunday afternoon. Dean Terlich has been down in form over the past two weeks and so has Bernie Vince, but they were two of Melbourne’s best in the pre-season. Jeremy Howe is still not yet his usual self, but we saw glimpses of his aerial skills on the weekend and only needs a few touches to have an impact.

    ON THE CUSP: Mark Jamar played his second game at VFL level on the weekend and, form permitting, he won’t be too far off returning to the senior team. Jack Trengove wasn’t among Casey’s very best players on the weekend, but it’s only a matter of time before he returns to AFL level. The form player at Casey is rookie Neville Jetta, but he will have to bide his time on the rookie list for now. The Demons are starting to get their full team on the park and Jesse Hogan is 2-3 weeks away, having resumed running in the past 10 days.

    ADAM BALDWIN’S FORECAST: There is nothing like a win to restore hope and happiness to a football club. Jack Viney admitted on radio this morning the players felt like they had gone backwards following the Round 1 thumping from West Coast and the win over Carlton will be a huge boost to the confidence of the players in Paul Roos’ game plan. They must build on this momentum and Gold Coast at the MCG will be another challenge. Chris Dawes straightened the side up on the weekend and with almost a full complement of players available, we should start to get a better idea of where the Demons are at.

    • 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.
