I'd like to be a bookmaker betting on the ins and outs at Melbourne based on D'landers rumours.

Ins Trenners        Out   Vince. susp

      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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
