    Jackson wasn't announced as a debutante so he probably won't play and be an emergency. 

    Every chance the club has thoughtfully included him in the squad so he can get home and see his family and friends.

    Cancelled out if Weed makes the final cut. It's a zero sum game.

    Why is ANB playing ?

    Kozzie and bedford are debutantes so they will probably play so my other 2 would be Sparrow and the weed or lockhart.

    I assume one of Hore and Lockhart will play as the seventh dewfender, depending on whether we need a mid-sized or small defender. With Bedford and pickett already announced, that would seem to leave  a fight between Weideman, Brown and Jackson for the final tall foward spot, probably in that order, subject to Weideman's ankle being OK. That would leave Brown, Jackson, Sparrow and either Hore or Lockhart as the real emergencies.

    No Salem 

    Worried about Salem.

    We certainly need another tall to give Big Max a chop out.

    Just think out loud here, but I think the AFL has mad a monumental stuff up in cutting short quarters.

    Given that from my understanding there are no second tier comps like the VLF for AFL listed players at the moment, they should have introduced X 3 subitutes instead of cutting game time.  That way it would still provide a means of managing match minutes, but also provide more of an oppertunity for match practice and fitness for the players just outside the best 22.

    Unfortunately I think it's a bit ominous that AVB isn't on the extended bench.  He would have been one of my first picked against the Eagles if he was fit.

    Broken foot,  3 months.  Announced this morning.

    Did you miss the big article where it said he's out for three months?

    Anything on Jones? Or is it a case of him being older and spared the flight? He was showing plenty in the preseason in a new role

    Has an Achilles injury according to the MFC website.

    Well that’s him out for a moth or more. That hurts us. More than people realise. Probably not so much against West Coast. In the next few games though

    Where did you read he was out for month?

    As of yesterday he was listed as 'test' so I'd imagine he will be in line for next week.

    He didn't.  He's guessing.

    @Jaded - Goodwin mentioned that Salem will be right for next week, he just didn't do enough at training to get up for this one.  Doesn't seem to be one to worry about.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
