I might have missed something obvious, but I didn't see Melksham last Saturday night for the Williamstown game - anyone know what his status was/is?

    Christian Salem is firmly in the 426 category. It is his 2nd week with that outlook for return.

    In fairness he was 6-8 a couple of weeks ago

    I haven't seen anything mentioned. If he had been injured you would assumed he would have been mentioned in the injury list. It is possible that he had to pull out for health and safety protocols ie: might have been a close contact or non-confirmed close contact and as a precaution had to isolate and therefore pull out of the match.

    uh-oh, the 426 is our very own Twilight Zone.

    Injury & Suspension List: Round 5

    Mitch Brown - Concussion Protocols | Available 
    Joel Smith - H & S Protocols | Available 
    Ben Brown - Suspension | 1 week
    Michael Hibberd - Calf | 2 weeks
    Daniel Turner - Foot | 3-5 weeks
    Christian Salem - Knee | 4-6 weeks

    So now Mitch Brown IS concussion ….. I wonder what caused that?  Nothing from the VFL judiciary? We’re there low flying seagulls, or maybe martians there?

    Jake Lever reporting that he’s okay after rolling his ankle (twice) on Saturday night. As long as he looks after it, he should be right to go next week with the 8 day break.

    Some concerns however, at Casey level. Blake Howes not selected and the rumour is Blake Howes (“stress fracture”?).

    Majak Daw kicked 2 goals before coming off the ground and failing to re-appear. This is a concern because he’s really our only proper back up ruckman in the event of injury to our two ruck talls in the ones. 

    Commentator on the afl site also mentioned that Dunstan was off getting his leg iced late in the game.

    Losing Daw early just two weeks after Mitch Brown was felled behind play is a concern, especially after the manhandling of Ben Brown last week.

    Do any Casey watchers know what Daw's injury was?

    The Melbourne website has an article here which states -

    “Majak Daw looked to be continuing his form following a best on ground display last week, kicking two first quarter goals, both from free kicks.

    “But his day was cut short after quarter time, meaning the Demons had to adapt to overcome the spirited Lions”.

    No explanation as to why his day was “cut short”.

    Looks like he will miss a decent chunk of the season, unlucky for the young fella.

    Was gonna say that's quite an abrupt ending to that phase of the article.

    I may be labelled a conspiracy theorist, but Daw and M Brown's "mystery injuries" rate no comment from VFL.  Nothing really changed since the old VFA thuggery days.

    None of us know why Daw had to go off so it's a bit premature to assume it was due to anything untoward.

    It would be nice to find out the reason he was unable to return after quarter time.

    Dr Laura Lallenec, the club doctor has reported on the weekend’s injuries and there’s nothing in her report about Daw. 

    However, Blake Howes has undergone surgery for a navicular stress fracture. Unfortunately, this type of injury can be season ending.

    Injury List: Round 6

    Michael Hibberd - Calf | 1 week
    Daniel Turner - Foot | 3-4 weeks
    Christian Salem - Knee | 4-5 weeks
    Blake Howes - Foot | TBC

    I wonder if the injury to Howes is enough for him to be put him on the long term injury list?

    There’s talk of a few young talented players emerging in the ranks who could be worth looking at in the mid season draft. We would probably have the last pick but it might be worthwhile exploring whether there’s a player out there to fit our needs eg. a genuine young ruck prospect to nurture for the day when Max retires or if Luke Jackson gets homesick.

    Cards just an example of the BS that injury reports are. I take them all with a large grain of salt. When I see a player selected to play I know that it is 95% correct.

    Read @Webbercomments re injury reports/management (we’re lucky to have his input)… every person/injury/outcome is different, just roll with it bro.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
