For those wondering this article says that Lycett trained in their captain's run today but Teakle didn't, therefore suggesting Lycett is going to be brought back to replace Teakle as their ruck.

It also says Dixon trained but wasn't moving freely.

    According to SA sources much about Dixon playing  is piffle waffle.... He needs to pass a fitness test...as late as Friday.

    It's suspected he won't.  I hope he plays ;)

    yep

    Not my choice but if you think of Petty as the up the ground forward it makes sense.

    I hope the big dinosaurs in Dixon and Lycett play.  They are underdone and it could be wet.  May and our rucks should run off them and expose them

    Taking the absolute [censored]. 
    Can he play forward once Salem return?

    I know we have 8000 players fighting for a half forward role, but come on!

    Wow... Salo sounded very confident he was on track & ready arround three / four weeks ago and the window opened!

    Was expecting at least 1 week at Casey but there you go.

    Dixon is more likely than unlikely to be playing according to Hinkley.

     

    I got this wrong but good news nonetheless.

    Now just need Dunstan back to his best to assist Viney in the center with extractions (and from that clearances).

    Not sure who he'd replace though.  Maybe JJ for a block of matches.

    Great to see Salem back. Fingers crossed he can stay fit for the rest of the year.

    A big surprise with Salo. I hope the club isn’t rushing him back. They did last year and his season really suffered. 

    Thrilled with no Dixon. He’s a monster and he always troubles us.

    Don't think they will play Viney and Dunstan in the same team, Dunstan depth only.

    Exactly. I don’t know why people don’t understand what Dunstan is.

    Looks like Brayshaw will play midfield. 

    I thought the same thing. With McVee, Salem and Bowey back Gus has to go into the middle - probably to play Sparrows role this week.

    Club must be happy with Woewodin.

    I’d be happybwith him if he didn’t try to take on the opposition every time he gets it.

    • 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.
