That collision was huge. Three players smashed into each other. I was amazed watching live that they all got up.

That's [censored] for petty.

That is obviously incorrect or outdated. 
934 games missing is far too many with Salo ( not sure but about 150 games in 9/10 seasons having most. There is only about 5 on the list also so would be about 300 inc. Spargy's approx 50/ 60/70 games ?).

Not the worse and sounds like Petty should be right. 
 

Fingers crossed Salem has no more setbacks and also fingers crossed Dunstan’s injury is minor.

Would imagine that Salo would ease in - maybe a half at Casey then 2 or 3 full games then promoted on form.

Presumably the Casey players will have a pretty serious match sim on the weekend, and Salo can start to build some match conditioning.  He’s had an extended break (thyroid & knee) and it will take time for him to become match fit.  I’m really looking forward to his return, but I doubt it will be before the bye.

I really don't see how.

Cannot and wont come "straight back in" after an extended layoff!

Salo needs more hype, he will compliment our defenders perfectly. I suspect it will take him 2-3 weeks to have him fit and ready for the firsts. 

He is the perfect person to step into Hibbos role, whose body is not holding up well this year.

IMO this is the ideal mix...

Petty May McVee/Bowey

Rivers Lever Salem 

This group is a great mix of youth, class and toughness. With Salo adding even more clean ball use to the mix.

Would be a handy sub option this weekend, great to see him back.

He was dreadful last year when rushed back into the side.

Needs a month at Casey (considering their bye this week) and can come back after the bye, not sure we want his first game back against the Pies (or cats for that matter) where it will be extremely fast paced.

We are not in a position where we are forced to play him underdone.

Interesting language - telegraphing selection?

I wonder if they want to get a game under his belt before the important Port game? If so, he could come straight in this week.

I wonder if McVee will get a rest...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
