I went to the after match function today, and PJ was saying both Mclean and Green will be back next week, but Whelan the week after!! Good news on the injury front!

Who do you think will have to make way for green and mclean?

Don't think we will risk Brock next week. Make sure he is fit enough to play. No point rushing him in if he isn't fit, as he will just re-injure his hammy. Cant wait for him to come back though. Take the spirit we player with yesterday, add in Brock and Green to our team, and things are finally starting to look up :D

I am pumped about green and brock coming back, but i would LOVE to see newton have a run againstthe doggies. It wont happen, but he has kicked 11 goals in 2 weeks now. Thats 5.5 goals a game! Gotta give him a try!

Pickett, petterd, bruce are all a chance to miss.

Murphy is most likely out for the Doggies, which is terrible for him, but good for us. He always gives us problems.

So that, plus the fact that everyone escaped suspensions means that maybe our luck is changing.

I would like to see Green and Brock given another week....

Give Buckley and Juice a run against the dogs.... Unless Bruce and/or Petterd don't come up then I would play Green but still leave Brock for a week longer....

Bate must be played off the HFF for the remainder of the year!! He resents well and unlike Miller, can take a contested grab on the run!

mcclean im doubtful on, would they even take him to perth?

I honestly reckon that they will leave him out of this weeks game against the Dogs and as long as Jones is playing the way he is in the middle, they will not risk Brock in Perth either.... It may sound ridiculous to leave our hardest and most inspirational midfielder out of the side when he is quite possibly fit enough to play, but the soft tissue injuries that he keeps re-injuring must really be worrying the club! Let him get cherry rip before we bring him back...

That is my opinion anyway.... I love Brock just as much as the rest of you, but in all seriousness, we are not exactly in a position to play 85% fit players.... We won't be Top 4 like the coaching staff had hoped, so let's not pretend like we are! Bring on 2008 and let's just enjoy the ride for the rest of 2007.... If the boys play with the heart that they did against the Power then we will win more than we lose over the remainder of this season!

it wasnt a soft tissue injury it was a broken bone so that concern is invalid. if its a bone its either healed or its not. if its healed the issue is fitness. it wont be a worry about reinjuring him...

But he could do a hammy or a groin if he is pushed to do too much upon his return.

Remember, he has had 6 weeks off where he wasn't able to do any running, kicking etc etc...

I know that he is far far too good to play in the VFL, but it might be good to ease him back. Alternatively, he will be played cautiously for a week or two, which is fine. 60% of game time from McLean is better than 100% of game time from most players.

green is a definite, isnt even listed on the injury list anymore...brock mclean could go either way, but i think if he is fit they will bring him back (i mean both healed and fit). does anyone know how long he has been training for?

opps here is the list...

Russell Robertson - Knee - 3 weeks

Clint Bartram - Knee - 4 weeks

Brock McLean - Foot - Test

Paul Wheatley - Shoulder - Test

Matthew Whelan - Hamstring - 1 week

Isaac Weetra - Wrist - 5 weeks

newton has 3 weeks to get a gig at afl i reckon and then his chances for this season are seriously diminished...

Ward and Green are the ins, with Byron and Petterd missing out.

Yep, that would make sense... except for the part where Ward is getting a run, but we knew that yesterday.

Pickett needs to get himself fit ASAP. He is an important part of the side, when he can run for more than 10 minutes that is.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
