The injury list has been pared back a little and the good news is that Brock McLean is available this week and Clint Bartram is also available after a long lay off due to that ankle injury suffered in round 22 last year. Jace Bode's back however, seems to be deteriorating:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) available

Jace Bode (back) 3-4 weeks

Brock McLean (thigh) available

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 1 week

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 1 week

Isaac Weetra (hamstring) 1 week

Any news on Daniel Hayes appreciated especially by dazzledavey36.

Last week's injury list was:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jace Bode (back) 2 - 3 weeks

Ben Holland (hip) test

Travis Johnstone (foot) test

Brock McLean (thigh) 1 week

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 2 -3 weeks

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Paul Wheatley (ankle) test

Holland, Johnstone and Wheatley all made it through their tests and played in practice matches at the weekend.

    And if that injury news is accurate regarding Brock, Colin and Bartram then we couldnt be in better shape for Round 1!!

    Very happy. Will be supprised if Bartram has as good a year as 06 but u cant blame him due to injurey and little preseason. Any news on Moloney...will he be back to his stellar season he had with Geelong.

    Saw that Saints have massive injury issues. Hammil, Kosi, Reiwoldt, R Clark, Hudghton, Guardner. Looks good so far. Hopefully Guerig will try and dodge Caroll again and rub him out for the season. I would LOVE that :D

    Sylvia is 1 week like I'm 1 week!! Sylvia is closer to 2 months, despite reports.

    Correct, and don't get excited about Bartram either.

    His ankle may have healed, but he has a fair few weeks of fitness training before he's ready to play. He will most likely play a couple of half games at Sandy, before they contemplate selecting him in the side.

    As for Sylvia, Round 8 would be a good result.

    Word is that Col is a long way off still. The upside is that if he recovers and then plays 3 weeks for Sandy and comes through ok, he'll be as keen as mustard come mid-season/serious end. I have an awful feeling however that even this is optimistic, but I wish him the best.

    Despite what some might think simply playing games is going to be the best way to get Bartram fit for a return to AFL level.

    Go Dees

    Point taken but u must admit u would be dissopointed since we have got him and hes been injury prone. What is it with our club and OP

    Does anyone actually know the full story on Sylvia. I know we had to wait quite a while to get the best out of Trav, and patience is important with young players. The story is that the kid can seriously play and I am willing to wait as long as it takes and stand by the bloke for a few years if we have to - and I hope we do. It's just frustrating not getting to see him out on the field week in and week out. Brock has already become a star and he was picked in the same draft. I dare say that Sylvia might already be classed as good as Brock if he'd had a couple of pre-seasons and 50 games under his belt. It's sad that the kid just can't take a trick at the moment. Can anyone shed more light?

    He's got OP, and it's a condition that he's had since before he was drafted.

    I think he was badly managed as a youngster, and now our club is trying to solve this problem for him.

    • 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.
