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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
