No news on Petty is good news? 

Well we can sit with baited breadth until the casey game this evenng coz we probably won't have the chance to see the sides before then.

 

It wouldn't surprise me to see Vanders back playing for Ainslie next year. I think this is the last year of his three year deal with us and his body just doesn't seem to be able to stand up to the rigours of AFL football any more unfortunately which is a shame.

Mitch Brown not playing for Casey. Mystery injury?

I can't see him on any lists but I'm pretty sure Mitch Brown was injured at training after the Hawthorn game. Might be on one of Burgo's updates for that week.

 

Watching the game last night, did anyone else's ears [censored] up when, during one of the quarter breaks, one commentator stated that Harmes was having his first game back following his skateboard injury? 

Back after the round one game, the MFC stated the following:

"JAMES Harmes will miss the next six weeks of footy after injuring his wrist during Melbourne’s Round 1 win against Fremantle.

The midfielder sustained a knock just after half time on Saturday afternoon, but managed to play out the game without too much concern.

Harmes then had an x-ray, which showed nothing untoward, with only an MRI later confirming a crack in his scaphoid. He will be sidelined until at least Round 7".

I wonder which story is correct?

EDIT - my bad -just reheard what Ben Dixon said at 3/4 time. He said "scaphoid" injury, not "skateboard" injury. I'm having my ears tested today.

Vanders has played 47 games in 6 years. 19 games in the last 4 years. Injuries have really hurt his potential as a tough skilled half forward-mid.  But I remain hopeful that this year, he might be valuable come the second half of the year.  He definitely brings higher physical edge to the team when he’s in the team.

Cats got a massive advantage last year with the shorter quarters and hardly traveling in the second part of the fixture.

And having one of the biggest home ground advantages for eons.

Jack Viney hotspot in foot. 2-3 weeks.

Just announced on Fox Footy..

Hopefully scans show it’s not an ACL. 

Likely to be out even if cleared of major damage. 

Who replace him? How do we set up our back 6?

Shocking.

Looks bad given his distress.

Petty is probably next in.

McDonald is playing 3rd tall it looks.  Tomlinson out - Weiderman in

Tomlinson out Petty gets a chance

Weid for Benny Who replaces Viney?

Edited by Kent

Petty is next in line. He should come in otherwise whats the point having him on the list

 

Not quite but shades of 2004 with the injuries hitting us as we reach the top.

Any more news on Brown?

Smith down at VFL level is not good either.

  • 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.
