    From Simon Goodwin this morning.  Don't expect to see Salem this week.

    Meanwhile, Goodwin said rebounding half-back Christian Salem (knee) faced more time on the sidelines, but fellow defender Michael Hibberd (managed) was expected to return against the Hawks.

    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. 

    Except Hibbo was magnificent on Saturday evening

    Will not be dropped n that performance in my view Salem needs to prove through the VFL for 2 or  games remembering he was ill and under-performing prior to his injury

    Doesn't Verrall have a history of hip/pelvis problems?

    No history of hip/pelvis issues. He came down hard in a pre-season practice match and sustained the injury.

    Just on the whole pelvic bone injury, surgery and recovery. Poor bugger. Would that mean no banging until 100% better?

    Chatted to Will during Sleep at the ‘G and while I didn’t ask him specifically about his *banging capabilities, I did ask him if his injury and subsequent surgeries etc. see him still hampered in any way. He said he is doing everything to the same extent as he was pre-injury.

    * I asked him important questions like what sort of shampoo and conditioner he uses. If anyone’s wondering, his answer was “whatever’s there at the time.” Pfft teenage boys… no idea. 🙄

    not sure it is a good idea to ask a teenage boy about his banging capacity.

    Ideally Salo comes back in and allows Gus to play in the middle.

    I think you should change your name to Scoop.

    Hibbo will need to be managed throughout the year, and Riv, Bowey and McVee are all in great form, selectors will have a lot of trouble squeezing in all that talent into the backline. I also think we're doing a much better job at bringing our players back from injury so I only expect Salem to really need one VFL game to have him ready for the firsts.

    Here's an interesting thought deeves. What if Gus stays back and Salo gets some midfield time when he returns?

    He played through some significant groin issues last year which had a huge impact on him sliding out to the rookie draft.

    The club nursed him through the pre season as there was still some lingering issues there to manage.

    Poor kid, watched him against St Kilda in the second game and he was very impressed. Took a couple of good strong contested marks.

    Thanks Mr or Mrs gentle refreshing  light breee. I definitely want Rivers in the middle more often but Salo there could be interesting. One of the things I do like about CS in defence is how often he finds a teamate so accurately by foot .

    Strongly agree Dazzle his injuries last year made it possible for us to pick him up as a Rookie if we can get him back to full fitness he could surprise.!!

    I’m amazed his head stayed on his neck, that’s usually the first thing that goes. Clumsy people (me) shouldn’t be allowed to have bobble heads. I’ve had to repair every single one I own, a couple of them twice. The above is the worst I’ve had to deal with; no problem gluing him back together, but I can’t find his missing leg anywhere. All good though, I’ve got another Kozzie and this one is still in one piece.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
