Is he a late out

Just heard he could be a late withdraw on the news, who knows if there's anything in it.

    must say I thought the same but it was an 8 day break

    the pins are falling ... we really need to win the next two games (they're the easy ones)

    I might be a little left field here but I would bring in Jetta to back pocket, Hibberd to HBF and Salem into Petraccas spot in the middle or forward--basically let Salem take the role Petracca has and still cover the defence with experience.

    well fair to say, given we’re down viney, jackson,  tommo and Petracca it should no longer be classified as an easy game . Although  imo it wasn’t going to be an easy game anyway, the blues really should have crushed the doggies last week. They’re better than their  ladder position shows. Will be a good win if we can pull it off.

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see Trac have a week off after that corky. He looked really sore after the game. 

    Sparrow would be my tip to come in if he does end up missing, the other option is bring Baker in to take the wing role and move Gus into the guts. The good news is that the match is Sunday so we have the time to see how he recovers. 

    Trac is currently on 66 games with out a miss he will play not the type to miss from a niggle

    Corkies aren't niggles! unless you look after them, potential for serious injury prevails. Happy for him to miss this week!

    From the cocky 8-0 corner: tap Kysaiah for some of Trac's middle minutes. Bring in Bedford or Chandler to cover those lost up forward. Brayshaw can pitch in in the middle too. I know we got slaughtered in the centre-clearances last week, but Oliver, Harmes and Brayshaw should have it covered, and the extra small will balance the extra tall. Keep challenging Pickett while we're in the black.

    We'll have a better idea tomorrow when Casey plays.  That team has been announced (see Casey R 05 thread) and the only two missing names of those available for selection are Weideman and Chandler, which suggests both are in the 23 for Sunday (late changes excepted of course).

    Signs a 7year contract and going soft?

    Could we see Gus into Trac's role, TMac to the wing, given Weid and Brown are both in?

    is there confirmation that petracca isn't playing? if he isn't, sparrow would presumably be the next cab off the midfield ranks

    IN: weideman, sparrow

    starting 22(+1)...
    B: Hibberd - May - Lever
    HB: Hunt - Petty - Salem

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
