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.

    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 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

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
