Interesting no Salem?

They’ve basically never really said he’s injured or with what. They sort of referenced it in passing in a press conference. I suspect he’s struggling a bit with groin issues that they’re managing. Don’t think they want to advertise it tho which is fair enough. 
I think Tom is a good chance to play. If his back was really bad they wouldn’t have put him through that flight or made him leave his family for 7 days to stare at a hotel wall.

    There was also a rumour on Demonland that he was injured but seems as though it was just a rumour.

    don't tempt fate...there's 16 minutes to play after a solid 30 mins cooling down...reeks of a disaster waiting to happen...

    Such bad luck for Hunt. He was one of 12 (I think) players to have played every game to this point, wasn't he?

    We can cover him I think (Hibberd), but hopefully our season progresses long enough for him to be able to push to get back into the 22.

    Bad luck for Hunt. Sent back to his natural position on halfback this year and he’s flourished again and played every game. He’s not the cleanest player, but he’s one of our most impactful when on. Shame he might miss playing finals after being a consistent part of the team that got there.

    Super disappointing and his pace will be really hard to replace. I hope he can make it back for prelims if we make it that far. 

    I would say Hibbo is the natural replacement there and Bowey can play a more attacking role with Hibbo defending. You lose pace with Bowey but you gain better ball use. 

    Let’s hope Salem’s groins hold up n

    Very unlucky for hunt, no wonder he looked so glum in the rooms after the game

    Shattered for Hunt, one of my favs and will be missed.  I know his speed is what stands out but he is so good defensively.

    We loose a lot of run out the back half, hope it's only 3-4 and with the bye he's still a chance

    That is really rotten luck for Hunt, he’s really looked a lot more settled this year and has used his outside run well (particularly when he partners with his twin). This is without a doubt a loss. Hopefully he can get himself back in for some finals later on.

    Um is Hore going to play this year? 

    Yes but not in the seniors unless absolute disaster strikes with injuries.

    Surely not worth the risk. Give him until next season.

    Wouldn't have thought we'd lose too much pace with Bowey. Kid is quick.

    Yes but Jayden is a seasoned campaigner and line breaker and can take a lot of physical pressure, we couldn’t expect Bowey to withstand that tempo in his first few games. Very sorry for Hunty one of my favs. Maybe deClasse to wing and JJ half back??

    Doubt we will debut any more players this close to the finals but could be wrong. I would expect Hibberd to come in with his pace and experience. Hope he has freshened up a bit because he looked way off the boil in his recent games. 

    Perhaps Hibberd can play a lockdown role on opposition defenders like his game against dusty earlier in the year. Should free up Bowey for some more  attacking plays and remove intensive defensive responsibilities.

    Unlucky for Hunt but I still am not sure how he would go under under finals pressure. Would prefer players that are more reliable than those that might get caught HTB on a long run. Harsh I know, he had been good this year. But we can cover him with Bowey and Hibbo

    judging by alan richardson's video i would guess plugger mac is less rather than more likely

    If so the question will be will do we look at Weideman one last time? Felt we were a tall short against West Coast.

    Hibberd is finished too slow and fumbly we need to include pace into lineup this week maybe Bedford??

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
