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.

Petty collided with teammate Tom Sparrow in the final minutes of Monday night’s Anzac Day Eve game.

Thanks SONS, I completely missed that.

That is obviously incorrect or outdated. 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. 

Gutted for Dunstan if that is any more than short-term. 😌

 

Injury List: Round 8

Charlie Spargo - Concussion | Available 
Harry Petty - Concussion | Test
Josh Schache - Wrist | Test
Luke Dunstan - Knee | TBC 
Christian Salem - Knee | 1 - 2 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | 5 - 7 Weeks
Will Verrall - Pelvis  | 7 - 8 Weeks

Especially after 46 possessions the week before and no promotion.


with Salem to return our top 25 are all injury free

hope this continues and we continue our conservative strategy with rest/recovery

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.

Unless very limited time in magoos 

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.

Best news when of course Casey has a bye 🙄

we have the bye too.

playin the Hawks!


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...

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
