    If fit he should be straight in the seniors. One of our best players.

    Is the intent of this survey to ascertain whether we think Salem should play in the Seniors this weekend?

    Because if it is; this survey will not get you that data..

    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

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

    no, it's not; 4-6 is the running joke!

    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 ?

    Nick Smith. He will be a good player for us once he gets over that injury. Any week now .

    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

    Will depend on how much work they've been able to get into him, but I'd think Casey

    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.

    Week in the ressies to get some match fitness. Ten weeks off is a substantial amount of time.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
