far out, still 9 best 22 players out.  realistically only Viney and Pruess back before the bye.

Smith, Jetta and Vanders probably done for the year.

no wonder May is hitting the schnapps

 

yeah, that's last week

fwiw, the age whisper boys said last week that walker is completely cactus and working in the membership dept - given that we're about to hit 50k, he's clearly doing a good job!

Any news on Garlett? Hammy (as reported this morning on SEN) or corkie?

WTF i hope not

The club's injury report is finally looking a little bit encouraging. 

Garlett received a corky but will be able to line up. Preuss to be tested and another 4 or 5 coming back over the next 3 weeks.

 

Garlett - Hamstring - Available

Tim Smith - Back - Available 

Preuss - Shoulder - Test

Viney - Shoulder - 1 week

May - Groin - 3-4 weeks

Lever - Knee - 1 week

Hannan - Knee - 2 weeks

JKH - Knee - 2 weeks

Maynard - Hip - 1 week

AVB - Foot - 6-8 weeks

Joel Smith - Groin - 6-8 weeks

KK - Concussion - TBA

Good to see Lever is almost set for a return, there’s no point in rushing him so I would be giving him half a game at the VFL reserves then up his game time in VFLseniors and assess if match fitness wise when he’s ready. 

Pruess is a chance, but I’m not sure if the Suns are a team we would bring him in for. 

Joel Smith situation is tragic.  Wtf did he continue playing.  Now missed 9 weeks and likely another 6-8 (probably a guess) weeks.  That’s the year with a groin!!!

Vandenburg. Also gone for the year.  Another 6-8 weeks is a guess. Wtf  

Both were 2-3 weeks in the round 1 injury preview. Ridiculous.  Wtf  

Lever says May is running and joining the main group next week.  Gawn says in radio interview that he is not running and faces a further extended delay and will be out for further 7-8 weeks.  Wtf 

kk was a huge risk as he had concussion history.  It was reported as being misdiagnosed as a neck complaint. Now he is indefinite still. Wtf

Wtf is my summary on weekly injury report.  

Some reinforcements not too far away if we could possibly hold it together for 3 more weeks...

Agree. Win 2 out of next 3 (or all 3 ) then our troops start dripping back in and all our opponents will be worried. Still a sneaky chance of finishing in 8 and boy if that happens then look out.

I'm not convinced he'll be OK,  but I feel certain he will return soon.

Goody said,  or was it mr Misson,  that he will need to be monitored in future,  and most likely his loads managed, looking forward.

.... load management ..... is Misson moonlighting from a logistics firm?

And KK? The silence is deafening.A week off has now become five.

It seems that concussion is the most difficult injury to classify by number of weeks. I imagine it is virtually impossible to put a reliable timeline on it.

Injury List: Round 8

Jeff Garlett (hamstring) – Available
Tim Smith (back) – Available
Braydon Preuss (shoulder) – Test
Corey Maynard (hip) – 1 week
Jack Viney (shoulder) – 1 week
Sam Weideman (soreness) – 1 week
Steven May (groin) – 3-4 weeks
Jake Lever (knee) – 1 week
Mitch Hannan (knee) – 2 weeks
Jay Kennedy Harris (knee) – 2 weeks
Joel Smith (groin) – 6-8 weeks
Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – 6-8 weeks 
Neville Jetta (knee) – 10-12 weeks
Kade Kolodjashnij (concussion) – TBA
Guy Walker (shoulder) – Indefinite
Aaron Nietschke (knee) – Season

Latest word on Weideman is that he is likely to miss a week.

Weideman plays a decent game albeit at Casey and has soreness.

One has to just laugh... this season is getting better by the week.

 

The table below was posted on bigfooty by 'Djcjdees'.

I like the table as it shows how the no of weeks has changed for the last month.  Some times have improved and some have worsened, in particular Joel Smith (subject of another thread) and Jetta (who also should not have played out the game after being injured early in the game).

Also, that KK is continually listed as TBC and AVB has now been TBC for a few weeks is worrying.

Unbelievable although it has now become believable.

However, only a small number of the group are top players or automatic selections. 

The rest are struggling, what we would call fringe or depth.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
