The Return Of The Injured!

They interviewed Robertson at quarter time and he said he is at least another week away, so I'm sure he won't play. Don't need Wheatley. Rivers and McLean will be welcomed returns especially McLean his injury has ruined our season he can not be replaced. What has happened to Whelan ? He would also be a welcomed return.

    As if Wheatley is good enough to walk straight back into the team.

    Via Sandy for you, says me.

    Taking out the average journalistic skills that those writers have, you'd think by not mentioning Ricky that his hammy is fairly serious?!

    Disappointing that Whelan and Petterd weren't mentioned, but who knows what that means.

    rivs will play and thats about all i think, mclean will play for sandy and same for robbo who i doubt will play full stop.

  • Quote

    Petterd will play, or at least be right to play. Don't forget, he's still a developing you lad and you have to be carefull that you don't over do their workload. I think it was ND that said he just had hammy soreness and they didn't want to push him.

    Rivers will play and if McLean is right, he'll be a walk up 22 (off the bench as an impact player though).

    McLean wore his last ever Sandy guernsey a few years ago.

    i think your pretty much right there nasher.....

    McLean and Rivers will be a welcoming psychological boost for the teams moral.

    Once Robbo, Wheatley, Whelan and Pettard are right to go we will be unstoppable.

    If Robbo, Rivers, McLean and Wheats are right, they should be given a walk into the 22.

    Even if they are named off the bench simply and purely as impact players.

    put rivers, petterd and whelan in the backline

    mclean and bartram in the midfield

    robbo in the forward line

    we will make the finals

    Wheats is not a walk up start I'm afraid. Unless another big injury run happens won't see him again in the red and blue.

    I think the return of Robertson, McLean, Rivers and Whelan would be enough to start the winning juggernaut at Melbourne.

    Won't happen this week, Rivers needs time to get right, we can't keep having avalaible one week out the next give him another week, Mclean and Robbo won't be risked at Subi.

    The way I see it, Moloney seems to be struggling. Do we play him another week and risk his season?

    McLean is not returning from a soft tissue, if he can kick and run he should play. All be it off the bench. He must be able to have more impact than Moloney.

    Robertson said on the footy show a couple weeks back that his knee felt great and it was just the medical staff holding him back. He also said on Channel 7 on Sunday he should be playing footy in the next week or two.

    I believe Robertson's inclusion could be the catalyst this week. If nothing else he provides a spark in the forward line. If fit he should play FF, with Neitz at CHF. I'd instruct him to pulely lead, try not to go for any hangers.

    i think he was droped for poor form, and according to another thread has now been suspended for drinking on saturdaym and not showing up to sundays game...

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
