Going from Goodies presser, even though he said the four would be back, he also didn’t say if they were all a lock to come back in the seniors.

So from that, I’ll say Langdon, Tom & Harmes are a lock… think Salo will get a run in the two’s before returning for QB

Yeahhhh I'm probably not going to pay much attention to your injury 'information'...

 

3-4 is the running joke for Melb injuries. How do you know I’m wrong with langdon? He hasn’t played yet.

I've been on the fence with this one, but with other rotations and Langdon/Tomlinson and others having high ToG%, i think we will be able to play and manage him on Saturday. 

That being said it is a risk if injuries occur elsewhere and we need a big shift from him. 

In conclusion ?

I was convinced he was going to be Petracca levels good for us if only he could get his body right. Oops

If Casey were playing after the seniors, I could see a situation where he starts as a medical sub in the seniors and plays up to a half of footy if we cop an early injury.

However given that Casey play before the seniors, I'd expect he plays one game at Casey and returns for Queens Birthday.

If Rivers has another poor game this weekend, he goes out for Salem for Queens Birthday.

We need Salem's class and composure.  from what I hear from former players, the second week back is the hardest to get up for. As we have a 9 day break it is perfect

Goody once said that they train as if they were in a game. I believe Salem has been training with the main group for more than two weeks, which would be as intense as playing in the vfl. In that case, he should be ready to play in the seniors.

Generally when a player is training with the main group and listed as "test" in the injury report, they aren't 5 weeks away.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
