    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.

    • 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.
