    could be a good thing considering Rivers seems abit underdone and hovering under an injury cloud hope his tests are all good news.

    Yeah if he's out and reiwoldt is out I guess they sort of cancel each other out...

    A swag of St. Kilda players went around today for the Casey Scorpions and all reported fit at the end of the game. Koschitzke kicked 3, Hayes played a half and did OK (didn't even get reported this week), Thompson, Hudghton, Voss, Fisher and Maguire all got through although not full games. It's probably a bit of a risk to play all of them plus Riewoldt on Friday night but who knows?

    Also Fremantle's Robert Haddrill broke down with a knee injury in a club game in Perth and could need a reco. Its already been a bad year for knees and the season hasn't even started.

    Yeah, but even though he's not played much, apparently he played pretty well. I rate Hayes enormously. In fact, I'd just about go as far as to say he's the Saint I'd be most worried about on match day if I was MFC coach.

    I'd prefer Hamill to play, liability these days.

    I certainly hope that nobody at the club focusses their attention this week on whether or not some or all of these St. Kilda players under an injury cloud get up to play against us on Friday night.

    It would be much better for us to concentrate on our game and not letting down our guard because we think the opposition might be underdone or not at full strength. I'm sure that's what the coaching staff and the players will be doing.

    True, but they will be underdone, and so if our new fitness regime is really as good as what we've heard, we should run all over them in the last quarter.

    Lyon is kidding himself if he thinks he has inhereted a list that is as physically strong as the Swans. Recent history would suggest that the

    Saints are highly sensitive when it comes to injuries, and many of their players break down consistently, especially when played underdone. Maybe Lyon will pull out the tape from the last time we played each other, the same game where the Saints ended up having no bench. At least back then it was a must-win final. Friday night is only the beggining.

    I just hope that Melbourne don't act as desperately as the Saints, and play Rivers, Pickett or Bartram if they are underdone. It's a long season!

    Thats how I see it Jaded.

    Word coming from St Kilda City F.C. (not far from the Junction) is that the demon players truly believe they are MUCH fitter than their Saints counterparts. Not just opposed to MFC but I heard they think the saints are seriously under done.

    There is conjecture that the moorabbin boys and staff are also keenly feeling the loss of one Grant Thomas.

    Almost to the point of not being as focused as their professionalism should ensure.

    I must confess to only hearing "word of Mouth". Easy to believe when it sounds so good!

    these players were all given permission to play with the Casey Scorpions this weekend, due to their interrupted preseasons ect

    take out gilbert, but the rest of the players are pretty much top 22 (thompson not maybe)

    throw in reiwoldt, hammil, raph clarke, gardiner, harvey who have all had crap pre seasons themselves

    st kilda are looking at another waste of a year unless they can work out why injurys keep happening to their stars!!

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
