    There was no club injury update yesterday. According to AFL Tonight on Fox Footy the players from the Swans game in Sydney have had a couple of days off before returning to training.

    On that list Melk 32, Hibberd 34 before next season,  BBB 31 soon, Luke 29 by next season.

    Tom now back playing, 31 end of year.

    Harmes, JJ and maybe even Spargo probably looking around and of course Grundy.

    Big change to our list is close.

    Anyone got any intel about Ben Brown? He’s been TBC for weeks, yet is still rehabbing at the club on the bike.

    His knee is cactus. Bone on bone. 
    My best guess is he’ll retire with a year left on his contract and transition into a coaching role with our AFLW team which he already does part time.

    Agree. I think BBB is done. His knee is not enabling him to move and he’s better to retire now imv.  He achieved the premiership dream and we thank him for his GF 👏👏.

    Any word on Pettys recovery? I know it’s season, but it was reported as significant lisfranc from memory. I hope he is not impacted longer term.

    I read a post on here a few weeks back and someone had spoken to him at the Casey game, said he had just got surgery done recently

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
