    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.

    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.

    Apologies, What I also needed to add is that I hope the boy comes back fully fit and ready for the next challenge!

    Not denigrating, him but I Do think he is a Tad overrated by many on this board!

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
