    It doesn't look too bad to me.  The top three all played in the praccy match, a couple are only one week injuries, Lockhart is still out for (with?) a pair and the two key forwards are getting closer.

    How crap is the MFC website!? Burgo gives the injury report, quite obviously wasn’t going to talk about Harmes until word got out and then they inserted a section which talks about him. Typical of the website – keep the supporters completely in the dark if they possibly can.

    There's 2 reasons why I don't care about this:

    1. Why give St Kilda any inside information any earlier than necessary

    2. If Harmes has the surgery they then get a decent prognosis and can report that with more accuracy. And it is another news story and more clicks on the website. It's crappy content but whatever.

    Sucks for Harmes, he's had a pretty poor time of it since his bursting 2018. Part of that is him and part of that is poor positioning IMO. 6 weeks out sucks, I wonder how close they were to subbing him?

    Good to see Weid progressing, but it's interesting because the word from the club seemed to have Brown ahead of him for a return date in the early stages. Brown 4-6 is not very encouraging.

    I don’t understand the theory about keeping them guessing.

    if the opposition finds out at the last minute that a player is out and being replaced by a lesser player, how does that help us? It would surely lift their morale. And if the injured player is being replaced by a better player: wouldn’t that happen anyway, regardless of the injury.

    The Saints wont waste a single moment worrying about a matchup for James Harmes. "Keeping them guessing" is the same as saying "i have no idea myself". No offence intended to the prior poster.

    Joel Smith (finger) — Available
    Jay Lockhart (groin) — Available
    Sam Weideman (leg) — 2 to 3 Weeks

    Had heard Brown and Weid were looking like returning at a similar time.  If Weid is ahead of Brown he might end up having a couple of matches to prove himself - will be very interesting to see how they manage the two of them, TMac, Fritsch and the resting ruckman.

    Three players available this week and nowhere to play them with no VFL practice matches. 

    Very happy to see Weid is only a couple of weeks away and Benny Browns timeframe hasnt blown out.

    I find it hard to believe that the will return at the same time. Unless the current forwards lose form I don’t see a spot for the Weid.

    Sorry I mean that in interviews players had said they were on track to return from injury at the same time - it now looks like Weid is ahead of Brown in returning (from injury).  I imagine they will both play a bit at VFL level before joining the senior team

    Weid for Jackson?

    We lose some resting ruck ascendancy but gain some goal kicking ability, of which Jackson appears to have none of at the moment.

    Not saying we should replace Weid with Jackson but unsure if we can fit another tall in.

    This is what i am wondering about... when they are all fit, do we replace a small (spargo, ANB, Jones) with a tall (Ben Brown). making it TMac, Ben Brown and Jackson, with Fritsch and 2 smalls. I worry that we then won't apply enough pressure. Obviously talk of TMac going to wing (but then where does Brayshaw go)? Can deal with the problem when they are fit and ready i guess.

    Weed said on the Gus and Gawny podcast that he will join in some training this week and look to play in the practice match in the VFL the week before round 1.  He mentioned that Brown was on track to play VFL rd 1 also.  So the VFL forward line for their rd 1 clash will consist of Ben Brown, Weed, Daw and Mitch Brown.  Good luck stopping that if they get enough supply.

    Personally i think the Weideman/ Jackson is a good problem to have, as they both are  learning their  craft, with an edge in versatility  to Jackson around the ball and to Weideman with goal kicking. Their strengths being capitalized on from up  field by the correct players will be commonplace hopefully this season.

    Would appear to be the only spot.

    one things for sure, we won't be dropped T Mac if he keeps up this form.  I expect him to get better over the nextr couple of weeks as his confidence grows too

    Hopefully none of the Media trash try to unsettle our lineups.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
