    Shortest injury list in the history of the MFC. Pity 2 of our top 10 players are on it!

    Yeah that bloody Misson has gotta lot to answer for. handicapping our players like he does.

    did anyone here have any success sacking him, ever ?

    I'm certainly no expert, but assuming there's no further set-backs or especial caution I would expect players of Viney and Tmac's ilk to be available within the month.

    Another of Mission's mission failed on Mckenna

    Misson could work at the MFC for another decade and some supporters would still think his name was Mission.

    And he stuffed Trengrove’s career as well.

    I'm not quite sure who's punning, who's trolling and who doesn't quite get the joke.

    Neville Jetta (ankle) – test
    Jordan Lewis (hand) – 1-2 weeks
    Tom McDonald (foot) – 2-3 weeks
    Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
    Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 8-10 weeks
    Jack Viney (foot) – 3-4 weeks

    Extracts: "Tom McDonald (foot) – 2-3 weeks  He’ll actually train with the group a little bit on Saturday morning. We actually expect Tom to potentially be available for the Essendon game.”

    And, "We think Aaron will probably get a couple of VFL games in before the bye and then we’ll see what happens after that bye week.”  

    The Ess game is less than 2 weeks away so it will be a huge effort if Tom gets up for it.  I'm torn between saying we need him to play and hoping we don't bring him back too early.

    Surely Tom will have a game or two at Casey - he played the first JLT, but match fitness?

    I would have thought so.

    But 'match fitness' no longer seems a major consideration for players who have been in the system for a few years.  eg J Kennedy Eagles, Tex Walker,  G Ablett.  Of course, the risk is they can't contribute enough at AFL level or overdo it and breakdown again.

    Hi

    On Saturday night there was a suggestion that Balic had pulled a hamstring.

    There was also suggestion it might have been cramp.

    I assume from his absence from the injured list  that he is fine.

    Wouldn't it be a great story if he comes good.

    Balic was training this morning and looked to be moving OK. Also Dom Tyson was running around and looked good. The Casey boys were training didn’t see any seniors training. TMac was kicking footballs and doing sprints, no Viney or AVB but I only rode past and watched for about 5 minutes.

    jesus wept...how DUMB ARE WE as a football club...

    t mac hurt his toe drilling drills inside in BARE FEET...

    McDonald said it was like a ‘turf-toe’ incident and he felt the problem occur during an inside drill.

    “We were doing some tackling and contact work inside, in bare feet, and as we do all of our stuff in boots, I reckon my feet weren’t as conditioned to doing stuff bare foot,” he said.

    Why don’t we just run over our players with steam rollers. Replacement training for that camp. See who survives!

    I'm assuming Frost was injured and that's why he didn't play at any level this week.  When I went to training he was in rehab.

    Joel Smith did most of training on Wednesday but pulled out of a few drills towards the end and he didn't play at any level.

    Fritsch, Tim Smith and Balic didn't play at any level this week but were not mentioned in the injury report.

    Does anyone have any information on these players?  I don't recall seeing Balic at training.  Is he injured?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
