Was there a thread or match report for the hit out the guys had on Friday?

    It looks like Kent, Garlett, Jetta and Hibberd will be fit for round 1. Whether they are picked due to lack of match practice is another question

    For what?

    Someone made mention that he came off during training on Tuesday. Not sure what the incident was

    DD36 reposted a BigFooty post from Vital Dread in the Casey Preseason thread page 2 post 33.  Too hard to link on my mobile.

    Lol.

    Whenever Burgo conducts these injury update videos with Misson, I can't help but laugh.

    It looks like Misson is having the shittest time of his life talking about it and Burgo seems scared to ask about anything and fumbles his way through the questions.

    And there's rarely anything other than vague time-lines of where players are at.

    Also heard nothing about how Wagner is going.

    Lol everytime?

    I've noticed this with almost all of his interviews. I get a real timid vibe about his work. I actually feel for him.

    Hibberd has been ruled out of round 1 according to SEN.

    Article now on MFC website saying he won't play this weekend at Casey or Round 1. They are being cautious with an Achilles injury. Don't think we'll see him for a few weeks. Hopefully it doesn't become long term and we can get him back soon. He'll be a key to our back line this season. Great interceptor and booming kick. Frees up Hunt more as well.

    Seems a long time if someone just stood on his achillies. Who was it, Paris?

    The injury updates are a waste of time. 

    The club gives us nothing and I know they have to be cautious about releasing info about players but it really faaarks me off. 

    We r left in the dark.

    Saw him in the rehab group today, looked pretty fit to me and I`d say very close to returning to the main group. In fact all in rehab group moved really well. Mitch White looked OK too but did see him chatting to a trainer and pointing to his instep of his foot, but soldiered on . Maynard was in rehab and looks in superb nic, ran a lot of laps at serious 3/4 pace. Hunt as discussed in training thread looked fine, got a headknock during training so just taking it easy but should be good for round 1.

    The bolded are the only ones worth mentioning, the others are playing, therefore no longer injured.

    Hibberd might be a couple of weeks and Frost is pretty much right to go judging by a recent training report.  Wagner is also not far away.

    The AFL site has struggled for accuracy in the past with its injury lists. Here's its current attempt at Melbourne's current list -

    Sam Frost (toe) test
    Colin Garland (knee) TBC
    Jeff Garlett (hamstring) test
    Michael Hibberd (Achilles) 1-2 weeks
    Mitch King (knee) TBC
    Joel Smith (toe) test
    Dom Tyson (knee) available
    Aaron vandenBerg (foot) 4-6 weeks

    You can add "season" in place of TBC after Colin Garland's name.

    Anyone know on which date the club's own injury list get published?

    At a date of their choosing...

    more likely to be early hours of the morning (say 1-2am)...

    mentioning all injured players as 4-6 weeks...

    then having the list removed some 59 seconds after being published 

    :cool: Moral of the story - Published injury lists are a waste of time and you are better of listening to the DL members with an ounce of credibility :)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
