    Cross, who is a LOT older, came back after 4 weeks.

    I'm sure Viney can do the same. I have faith in him.

    This could be an opportunity for Grimes to get back into the side and be trialed as a run with player. He did a good job on Danger when we won in Adelaide last year.

    I know we only have a small injury list at the moment.

    But we do seem to get injuries to more best 22 players and rarely to our 'depth' players it seems.

    Bugger.

    That's just an unconscious bias in that you notice them more. We have injuries to VFL players all the time

    Am I alone in hoping clearance machine Riley comes in? Dont really know the more effective player out of Riley, Michie and Mckenzie

    No. You are not alone. I think Riley should play every game.

    Grimes only had Dangerfield when he went forward in the last 5 minutes. Vince had him the rest of the time. Grimes is not a good run with player. He gets easily lost around stoppages and isn't a strong tackler. He needs to keep playing half back which is his best position.

    McKenzie or Michie are better options.

    Toumpas in a tagging role would be a great development opportunity as well. Although Sloane or Danger might be too much to ask.

    Poor Viney. Another set back. Just as he starts building form he gets hurt. Story of his career thus far. Hopefully we see him back soon because he is one of our best.

    Brayshaw still hasn't built a tank for a full game of footy. Start him and see how he goes. I'm not huge on toumpas but his vfl form might warrant another chance as the sub.

    426 aint bad for a leg.

    The question is...

    Class/flighty defensive effort or dour scrubber to replace.

  • Quote

    The reaction is funny given the queries about him before the first game.

    Definitely spent some time in the Demonland sin bin after that turnover against the Bombers. That being said, he's been fantastic during the first couple weeks of this season. Real shame to lose him, especially considering our draw for the next 4-6 weeks.

    For all his Grunt, I think Viney is overrated by many on this site!

    It had to be our turn for an injury this season. Every other team has seemingly had multiple injury concerns while we've been pretty much unscathed.

    Not much we can do about it, hopefully someone else takes the reigns and steps up in his absence.

    This crap actually never stops. It never stops!

    It's just one guy with a relatively minor injury in the scheme of things - it isn't the end of the world and it certainly isn't anywhere near how bad our injury list has been in previous years!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
