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.

    He's been missing for quite a while now.....

    Was an emergency for the GC game though, so not sure what is going on there

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
