Taken from today's Herald Sun, this injury list seems to have quite a few players in the 'test' category:

Matthew Bate (ankle) - test

James Frawley (foot) - test

Brad Green (hamstring) - test

Ben Holland (groin) - test

Nathan Jones (ankle) - test

David Neitz (knee) - test

Daniel Ward (elbow) - test

Brock McLean (foot) - 1-2 weeks

Paul Wheatley (shoulder) - 1-2 weeks

Matthew Whelan (hamstring) - 1-2 weeks

Russell Robertson (knee) - 3-4 weeks

Clint Bartram (knee) 4-5 weeks

Isaac Weetra (wrist) - 6 weeks

Good news for Neita, Green, Jones and Bate. They probably will give Bate the week off, but if we can get the other 3 in, we're a chance.

Also great news about Frawley. Hopefully he'll be right to debut after a couple of weeks at Sandy.

McLean still 2 weeks away! :(

1-2 it says for Brock, hopefully return against the bullies...

Don't think they will play him unless he is 100%, and even then, after 6 weeks out, he'll need a run at Sandy.

I can see him winning the Liston medal after collecting 98 possessions and kicking 10. :lol:

Brock is too good to not come straight back in. A friend of Brock's sister tells me he should be right for next week.

Agree. I'll be very surprised if he does not walk straight in to the side when he is fit.

So would I. Even if he's a little down on condition I'd imagine him being very handy off a HFF.

Well quite clearly every disagree with my suggestion to bring him back via the VFL.

But are we really going to risk further injury by playing him underdone?

If they bring him straight back into the side, he probably won't play more than 60-70% of the game anyways.

I'm all for getting him back ASAP, but not if it means he is at a higher risk.

Jaded i'd agree totally if he was coming back from a soft tissue.

Instead he is coming back from a broken foot. It is either fixed or not. If fixed he plays seniors, might be down on fitness but his body should be fresh.

Give Madness a break. Seriously, why is it so hard to believe that he is mates with Brock's sister, and Brock told his sister that? And what's wrong with someone tryiong to contribute based on knowledge they may have, especially when he has at least given his source?

i agree choko at least he named his source...but a friend of brocks sister is a little suspect. because i know a lot of people often say a mate of mine, when they mean someone they met once. like perhaps brocks sisters friend told a friend of madness...

the only source that counts is when someone who knows tells you. ie brocks sister. thats not saying its not true, and he probably didnt deserve the ridicule of the others, especially how many people quote big footy on here...

Yeh I agree. But last time I looked, a blog wasn't holding itself out to be literary genius. He heard something, he posted it. Some people think stuff, they post it. Brock's sister's mate probably knows more about Brock's injury than people here do about whether Daniher can coach!

If they don't think he's quite right to play AFL, they'll give him an extra week off instead of playing a half for Sandy.

Fair enough, but that still won't solve the fitness issue.

He is coming back from a broken foot, meaning he wouldn't have been able to run or get much training done while recovering. I don't think that he'd be up to running a full game after 6 weeks off, and as I said they might only play him 60-70% of the game for the first couple of weeks back.

But that's just details. I want Brock back and nothing else matters. As long as the recovery is quick and he is able to play out the rest of the year un-injured, we'll all be very happy!

Just give Newton a game against Port and I will be happy....

Bring in whoever has proved their fitness, but give the kid a run now while he is in good form!!

We will hit september full of running and it will be a beautiful thing (as long as we are in the finals that is) :P

Thanks, and to be more precise, it is brocks sisters boyfriend, I couldn't give a [censored] what people think, they can take it with a grain of salt but it's a closer link then anyone else has here. But my dad just told me that it was reported on the news that Brock should be right to go next week so there you go...

jones is apparantly a go for this week too, but if he doesnt come up, brock and jones coming backinto the team in the one week will improve our midfield and clearances dramatically (jones plays better with brock taking some of his attention i believe)

frawley should get 2 games at sandy, then striaght into CHB for the rest of the year

Im with this line of thought.. if we were serious this year...well rather if we coud be taken seriously as contenders , then I suppose all hands to the wheel, but i'd rather ease a few of thee lads back into the game minimising any sudden reoccurence or stressing of their injuries.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
