Hunt is training so hopefully he is able to play VFL in a week or so. And where is ANB? Is he ready to go all of a sudden?

ANB played in the Casey 2's last week and went ok on 50% playing time from reports.

    Yes good point CHF he did play the development league and hopefully Hunt can gear up this week. Any idea how ANB went?

    MELBOURNE

    INJURIES

    Jayden Hunt (back) 1-2 weeks

    Christian Petracca (knee) season

    Jack Trengove (foot) season

    Sam Frost (foot) 4-6

    Dean Kent (hamstring) 10-12 weeks

    Neville Jetta (concussion) Test

    ON THE BLOCK: Its hard to see Paul Roos making any forced changes after such a spirited win. Dean Kent will miss 10 to 12 weeks after he elected to have surgery on his injured hamstring. Jack Watts lifted his intensity after a disappointing performance against the Crows and laid four tackles along with 14 disposals and a goal.

    ON THE CUSP: Jack Grimes was named best on ground for Casey in their loss to the Bulldogs, while Jimmy Toumpas gathered 28 touches and applied seven tackles. Toumpas for Kent would make sense, while Grimes has certainly done enough at VFL level.

    ADAM BALDWINS FORECAST: While Melbournes win on Friday night surprised the competition, those within the walls of Demonland were quietly confident going into the match. The Demons now have the attacking weapons to compliment their pressure game and made Richmond look second rate. Jesse Hogan, Aaron vandenBerg, Christian Salem, Ben Jacobs and Viv Michie have changed the look of the side and even the most cynical Dees must acknowledge the worm has turned. Fremantle is one of the form sides of the competition, but as St Kilda proved last year, it can be done.

    I don't know who this Ben Jacobs is but Ben Newton says "hello".

    Not to mention Adam Baldwin reading these forums ...

    Ouch! 'Rookie Mitch White missed last rounds VFL due to a toe injury. He had an accident on the gym, where he dropped a 50kg dumbbell on his toe, which didnt tickle, he said'.

    Understatement!

    Extract from Misson report: Jetta to miss more than one.

    In summary:

    Sam Frost (fractured toe) 8 weeks

    Jayden Hunt (back) 2 weeks

    Neville Jetta (concussion) 1 week

    Dean Kent (hamstring) 12 weeks

    Christian Petracca (knee) season

    Jack Trengove (foot) season

    Jack Viney (fractured fibula) 2-3 weeks

    Mitch White (toe) available

    Looks like Frost will be out longer than expected. Impressed that White is available after dropping that 50kg on his toe!

    Jetta set to miss again

    Can't be too careful I suppose.

    Hopefully Neville pulls up ok for the Hawks clash next week.

    Melbourne injury list: round six

    Chris Dawes (calf) – test
    Sam Frost (toe) – 4-6 weeks
    Jayden Hunt (back) – available
    Neville Jetta (concussion) – test
    Dean Kent (hamstring) – 10 weeks
    Christian Petracca (knee) – season
    Jack Trengove (foot) – season
    Jack Viney (fibula) – 2 weeks

    It's a bit disappointing to see Frost still listed at 4-6.

    For a big toe injury...

    Have to say I'm a bit confused with the concussion guidelines. Didn't that Adelaide player (forget who) get knocked out, carted off the field and then played the next week against us a few weeks ago? My understanding is that they judge the recovery by doing the concussion test that is judged on responses by the player taken from his baseline answers, is that correct? If so I think you may need to be look at Nev's baseline data?

    Must have been a big whack.

    No wonder Footballers from the 60's-90's are now having problems.

    Nev's had a handful of concussions since Christmas, hence the conservative approach. It's not from just the one incident.

    I thought Roos said a couple of weeks ago that Jetta had sufferers a couple of knocks over a short timeframe.

    Given Bail and Jetta seem to get concussed running through the banner, why don't either of them wear a helmet? Just crazy.

    Probably because there's no evidence to say they prevent concussion.

    Probably not a bad week to miss. Sydney aren't really blessed with quality small forwards, particularly if McGlynn doesn't play. Hawthorn on the other hand ...

    Thanks guys. I find that really surprising. From memory Jetta's recent one was Howe sailing through for a mark and his knee glanced Jetta across the temple. Would have thought some padding there would have helped enormously.

    I think the issue is more the "wobbling" of the brain rather than the actual impact, this is why a helmet may not help as you would still get the wobble if you know what I mean

    A helmet would make the impact longer though which would decrease the impulse. Then surely the brain would be 'wobbled' less?

    It was actually a result of Howe taking that high grab against Richmond. Poor Nev got the knee in the face and will now miss 2 games for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
