    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.

    Saying the bleeding obvious.

    Therefore Hannan stays

    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.

    Seemed to be OK at getting a couple of goals.  Maybe HFF??

    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.

    Some might say he does that on a regular basis.

    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.

    Trenners gave it to him. Said he didn't need it anymore.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
