      Watts                      Pedo drop in form

      Viney                      Kent  because I was stupid

      Salem                    Smith not up to it yet

      Tyson                     Garlett Funeral

Remember though that players returning from injury can take time to find form and match fitness, as we have seen often and recently with some of our best players.

For their first final v West Coast on the back of a loss to lowly Freo in round 23 in Perth as well as a week's break the Dogs brought back 5 players from injury, including Liberatore, Roughead, Macrae, Stringer, and Wood.  They won by 8 goals.

It obviously doesn't mean it will always work, but it also doesn't mean your side won't reap immediate benefits.

Might be a load of rubbish but another poster said the coaching staff were furious with Wagner's defensive game last week. He might be a smokey to miss.

Really? He's always been a poor defender. I would rather see him played up the ground, if we have to have him at all.

Big difference between players not playing for a week because they are being freshened up and players not playing for an extended period because they are injured.

Lucky Hannan.

Which is the other lucky player that replaces the out of form Hogan?

I think with mids coming back, our HF line will look a lot better (Trac and Hannan), and our whole forward setup should be so much better.  Add Watts into that, and our Forward 50 no longer has to be the twilight zone.  Will miss Garlett, and dont know who we should play instead

Yeah, that's great, but they weren't being rested in round 23.  If they were merely being rested I wouldn't have bothered posting.  Get it ?  So my 'point' remains intact.

FINALS contenders Hawthorn, West Coast and the Western Bulldogs have been hit by injuries to key players on the eve of finals.

The Dogs lost acting captain and star half-back Easton Wood to an ankle injury but the damage isn’t as bad as first thought.

We review every club’s playing stocks after Round 22.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

INJURIES

Easton Wood (ankle) Test

Marcus Adams (foot) 2 weeks

Tom Campbell (foot) TBC

Kieran Collins (shoulder) season

Tom Liberatore (ankle) 2 weeks

Jack Macrae (hamstring) 2 weeks

Roughead was out with a calf

22 Ess Kicked a goal, but other than that was mostly unsighted.  
23   Calf.  
EF WCE Held his own when in the ruck and bobbed up with a big goal to break Eagles’ back.

And Stringer came back in after two games in the VFL due to poor form.

Fair enough.

He ( Wagner ) will improve in that area, but remember when you say always, he has only played a few games of AFL in his 2nd year. 

The one positive from our bad injury/suspension run, is that we have got games into others, some of whom might make it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
