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

Maybe, but at whose expense?

I still do not understand how this is only a 2 week injury. I need 2 weeks rest just thinking about. Poor fella!!

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.

That sounds like a half solution to me ie last year rush back on Casey games  were Riv Salo Etc we know the results and this year it's mostly 2 games to ensure the player is absolutely cherry ripe. 

Yes Mr F you are right about our med and performance teams improved handling so why make an exception for Salo who I regard as talented a player on our list ( refer GF first half especially). I really don't want to see Salo circa 2022 but the 2021 version as a match winner and 2 games in suits that new prescription which is succeeding well. But again we trust our Coaches and FD and Medicos this season of course. 

Apparently he had tightness and they’re doing it as a precaution. Played out the last quarter ok, so hopefully it’s nothing.

Clayton Oliver had scans this afternoon on his left hamstring after grabbing at it in the third term yesterday, before playing on, as per

. Results unknown at this stage, but pleasing he played out the game at least. #SuperCoach

2005 vibes about this season.

Might explain why he's been a bit ploddy around stoppages of late.

Needs a rest anyways and shouldve got one in the game against Norf imv.

Looks a tad cooked.

Is it just my MFCSS. Or can I see

4-6 weeks.                     Fmd 

we played S..thouse and now this


As someone that's had hamstring issues in the past from playing, the fact that he ran out the last quarter says to me that he may have had some tightness or even maybe cramp.

Even if it was a strain, there is no way he could move in the wet the way that he did that last quarter. 

Trying to push through a strain will only result in a pretty bad tear which is where you're looking at 6-10 weeks.

Fingers crossed it's just tightness. 8 day break should hopefully be okay. Could still miss just the 1 week at worse.

We had already subbed Bowey off, but I would lose my [censored] mind if we risked him in that last quarter and he’s injured that hamstring badly. Seems unlikely. 

Just saw tv vision of him grabbing his hammy. Not what I call a good look. What is also interesting is that I don’t recall any mention made by commentators at the time. Guessing it was a very tense / exciting moment in play at the time.

I mean he still had 5 disposal in the last quarter. So he's had a decent crack at least

But yes, surely he either didn't tell coaching staff or If he did then I seriously would hope they didn't advise him to at least try and push through.

  • 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.

    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?
