Wow Turner has made a very quick recovery. I thought he had a leg injury not a hip injury? Either way, it's good news if he's only one week away as he covers the loss of Hore.

I am sure he will have to spend some time with Casey, but it's good news anyway.

Also is McAdams just permanently stuck on 2-4 weeks? Are they generating a new hamstring for him in a lab or what?

    It will be tempting to replace Hore with May but ribs are not to be trifled with… Tomlinson?

    McAdam has come in from 3-5 to 2-4. Baby steps. 

    Spargo’s stuck at 2-4 though.

    Last week he was 3-5 weeks so there's some movement.

    He'll need a couple of weeks at Casey so he's still a way off

    I was expecting Hore to be out due to ribs but has thumb fracture I didn’t spot that.???

    "Shane McAdam continues to work through a hamstring injury, taking positive steps forward re-joining the main group.

    “Shane is beginning to integrate into training with the team,” Griffith said.

    “He’ll continue to train with the group as we build him into being available for selection in the coming weeks.”"

    Is it worth trialling Tommo as a fwd at Casey.

    The defenders Tmac and Petty have done alright forward.

    I'm just thinking if a tall defender like Tmac needs games off then Petty goes back.

    If Bbbs is injured we are back with Schache. 

    It would be nice to know if he can at least do it and not unrealistic about Tmac and Bbb. ( I so hope they will be ok).

    I  think the Port game was the best game in two years for the two of them.

    LITB 

    You have hit the answer right there if you leave Petty at FF.

    Why move him for Tmac or Tommo or Schache. He will kick goals very soon as he is too good a player not too.

    Only move him back for any cameos or if either May or lever are missed greatly.

    Also Disco is available next round for Casey return. 

    If it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it.

    Sorry 58 er you really confuse me.

    I try to be patient.

    I want Petty at Ff.

    I'm not talking about changing anything 

    I'm suggesting we trial Tommo for multiple replacement roles in case something happens to Tmac or Bbb which is quite likely. I suggest this because I'm not sure Schache is up for much.

    The depth player such as Laurie, Tomlinson etc should definitely be exposed to other positions at VFL level.

    The reality of the modern squad is that you can't cover every position and develop players.

    Can Tomlinson play forward. Probably not but worth looking at. He did play wing IIRC at GWS in a rather good side.

    Laurie on the other hand is a perfect candidate for multiple roles. Could he have filled the Bowey role for example?

    I’m convinced Shane McAdams is growing a new hamstring in a lab 


    What sort of shocking condition did he come in from Adelaide where he was managed by Burgess?

    Bowey is now nearly 5 weeks from when he did his shoulder. An 8 week injury they said....

    Yet he's still 5-6 weeks away?

    Great news that Disco is back. Reckon he’s got a big future. 

    Poor bugger has never had an injury free run.

    Prior to the season he would have been next in line - now the resurrection of TMc and the reemergence of Hore has him way back in the queue 

    Good luck Disco.

    I suspect Spargo has achilles tendinopathy. It’s a pain in the neck of an injury. I’ve battled through it for a decade, being a competitive runner. Generally it’s an ‘over 30s’ injury so he is very young to experience it. It can be season ending and career threatening.

    Injury Report | Defender Set for Return

    Check out Melbourne's latest injury report ahead of Round 5.

    Looking forward to Daniel Turner’s return.

    There isn't a spot for Turner, but he'll be good depth.

    5 players on the list. No top ten players there so we’re lucky really. 

    hopefully our luck continues

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
