I'd be pretty confident, another 6 days should slam dunk it. 

As I’ve said before, his omission from any game is due in no part whatsoever to his personal quest to be back to 100%. This boy is hellbent on getting back out on the park. We’re all hugely disappointed that he’s not playing, but believe me, our disappointment is dwarfed by his.

Turner will be next in line surely.

Petty to FB, Turner CHB and Lever third man up.

Will Hibbo get a call up as he can play "taller" than he actually is?

Either way, nobody is May. It's like trying to replace Oliver. Can't be done.

I think Hibbo’s case over McVee is strengthened if it’s Turner. They won’t want to be so young and inexperienced down back.

If it’s Tommy Mc then McVee might still get the nod.

    At least we've learnt our lesson. Don't burn your playing list in Round 1. 

    Right? This is what we all wanted. This will pay off in the long run. 

    Reading about the May injury has sent my MFCSS into psychosis.

    A downpour on Saturday night would be welcomed right about now. 

    We should be so lucky, isn't it going to be 31 or something this Sat?

     

    Nothing quite like the wheels falling off before round 1 has even started.

    This is what being a Melbourne supporter should feel like!

    Current forecast is predicting a dry southerly cool change coming through just before game time lowering the temp to mid to low 20s  We'll be watching that closely to help make our cheese choices for the game.

    If May is out we’ll play Max behind the ball and Brodie in the ruck. Lot of talk about the tall dogs but 3 of them are JUH, Darcy and Lobb. I’ll back Max over them in the air any day.

    Spot on. However, there needs to be careful selection of another tall. McDonald may have to swing back. We will need another presence up in the forward line. I'd back Schache in against his old mob. He can play both ends and has the VFL form to warrant selection

    If May misses it can’t/won’t be Smith replacing him. He hasn’t had a full pre-season, and hasn’t he been training forward?

    Tomlinson or Turner should be the replacement, they are key defenders and whilst neither holds a candle to May, the point of having key defenders as depth is to call on them when a first choice defender misses. 

    Will be a massive test to beat a fellow top 4 contender with May joining Viney, Fritsch and Salem on the sidelines. That’s a lot of talent out. 

    I have watched Tomlinson a fair bit at training and sadly he is not a patch on the player he was pre knee reco. I d say his confidence is Shot! So far of the pace its not funny. Cannot possibly play. Play T Mac back and bring in Shackey Attackey would be my call to play forward

    May has “tightness” in his calf. Reported this morning by Sam Edmond. 
    his words “watch and see”

    He hasn’t been ruled out yet. 
    3 days to go

    I'd say if May doesn't get up they will go Turner as the replacement. Petty will take May's role and Turner will play in Petty's role.

    Gawn to play more behind the ball as opposed to forward.

    Turner to Darcy or hugle Hagen. Neither are super strong

    Yep.

    Remember that time May played with a 6cm tear in his hamstring.

    Yes, but this different, this is an important game.

    • 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.
