He's actually one of favourites players and is pretty underrated so it's disappointing to lose him. 

Great opportunity for Tomlinson to step straight back into that role.

    Is Tomlinson aiming to be ready for round 1?

    Surgery to release bleeding from a corkie.

    Tommo straight back in. We will barely miss a beat.

    Interesting to see what they do. If Tomlinson isn’t quite ready J Smith is the other option to play early. They might also stick with just May and Lever with Hunt coming back in. Hopefully  Petty only misses the first couple of rounds, feels a little weird not to panic with news like this on the eve of the season.

    I recall hearing last year the interesting stat about a premiership team never all playing in the same line up ever again … whilst not impossible for this group given no retirements , round 1 would have been the most likely time to do it

    I think it’ll be J smith to come 

    I reckon they’ll wait on Tomlinson for abit 

    Smith isn’t in our best 22 but isn’t a bad player to come in for injury. Seemed to do well when he played last season I reckon

    Watching the last 6 odd games and the finals Petty grew in confidence each week.

    Tomlinson will have to play well to match him

    Surely leeches would be effective 😉

    The Dogs don't have an overly tall forward line and GC without King in round 2 so we may be able to go with May, Lever, Salem, Rivers, Hunt, Bowey & Hibberd if Tomlinson isn't ready yet.

    Quite right Dr. That backline you just noted is pretty handy.

    However, I'd love to see Tomlinson get a crack !

    Yep and Dogs will still be without Bruce. 

    Bad news for Petty. Hopefully 4-6 weeks means he won’t miss a heap of footy.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
