"I guess all we can be guided by is the medical staff and what they expect. But sometimes - unfortunately - players get setbacks or things take longer. Injury list is always a guide. Dave Misson mentioned Dawes as being about two to three weeks away, so hopefully that's the case, and he was optimistic about Jesse Hogan being possibly three weeks away. So hopefully that will be around the mark."

How about people who have no idea what the injuries are and how serious stop taking pot shots. Every club in the league have multiple players injured like us. It's not always someone's fault or who we should sack. It just is...

i don't see the value in playing Byrnes, we have alternatives that offer just as much and still have the potential to come on and be damaging players in the future, Byrnes offers experience and not much else, would have been better off with brad Green still hanging out in a forward pocket

His experience has been really invaluable last game!

Melbourne squad: round two
B: Lynden Dunn, James Frawley, Alex Georgiou
HB: Jack Grimes, Tom McDonald, Dean Terlich
C: Jack Trengove, Dom Tyson, Daniel Cross
HF: Jack Watts, Cam Pedersen, Jimmy Toumpas

FOLL: Jake Spencer, Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince
I/C (from): Shannon Byrnes, Matt Jones, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Viv Michie, Dean Kent, Michael Evans, Sam Blease

I know you can't believe anything you read n print.but drop Byrnes and Kennedy-Harris for Blease and Evans.

You have immediate plus.

But FCS give us a tall target

Now returning to the purpose of this thread, the quality of their midfield is there for all to see. Then have a look at their forward line!!!!

This one is going to hurt, but at least i'm a bit more realistic this week. Our best chance was for the weather to be wet, creating a congested slop of a game, where skills would be down (fitting us to a tee). Forecast is for sun and light winds and 28, not good. Though good weather to watch football (better pack the sunscreen).

Members get tired of being fed rubbish and can only suffer mis-management for so long. Most clubs when a player suffers a soft tissue industry will advise a grade 1, 2 or 3 and thus x amount of weeks. we on the other hand get fed hyperbole about "tightness" "twinges" & soreness for weeks on end . All other clubs ? which other club has lost 2 ruckman, & 3 FF/CHF by week bloody 2 of the season. Poor management in my opinion.

Blokes have more chance coming back from a full LARS surgery than are big blokes do from hamstring or calf "tightness"

I hope all three of Blease, Evans and Kent play.

All can damaging and take the game on.

That Eagles side looks superb on paper.

if we win this week against that Eagles team, Paul Roos is a certified genius and a bargain

No sign of Viney - probably has some "tightness"

"tightness"

"conservative approach"

"2-3 weeks away"

My response to these is now on par with "it is what it is".

Pimple on leg = 628 weeks.

it's round 2 other teams will have injuries through the season and by then we should have at least a tall or two back, dig deep

Hamstring Tightness - that's Mr Elite Fitness speak for 4-6 weeks and even maybe a trip to Germany for a second opinion from an ex KGB pharmacist.

When I look at our injury list I just wonder how I who did not train all that much managed to play so many second rate suburban level games of footy on the trot, about 80 to 100 if I remember in a row. I know we are talking elite level but they also have full time elite level fitness.

Half our list seems to be best kept in Cotten wool, as soon as they play any contested footy, they go down with soreness, tightness! I give up.

50 + point loss this one.

No forwards. And only a handful of mids who can really be damaging with their feet means there won't be many opportunities.

50+!

You are confident

100+ from where I sit, the Eagles will kick the highest score this weekend and the largest winning margin.

I have assumed Fitzpatrick , Mc Donald will not be fit , If Watts is injured Pedo might just have to play( Pity Juice was flicked would have got a gig given circumstances) Sorry couldn't resist. I would have had Blease for Toumpas ( easily I cannot how a bloke who

Give it a rest. He's a dud and your are a loon.
