I really hope we can keep him fit, happy and playing for the rest of the year. With him and Pickett we look dangerous and unpredictable. 
 

Fritsch Petty Pickett

McAdam Petty ANB

Chandler

Thats a solid front half if they can get some games in

Petty's that good he gets two guernseys. Pretty good. I guess that means he's staying. :P

I would have to agree unless he is in peak physical condition, don't play him we should be good enough to beat the tigers anyway... we need Clarry at his absolute best again. It will create positive energy and confidence amongst the team seeing him at his peak, last week was not good for him or us

[Demon Jack 7,155]

Poor Spargs is clearly struggling with that Achillies injury.

He's been listed as 3-4 weeks away since round 2.

It’s clearly been decided that match-time is a key ingredient for getting him back to his best.

So many of our players (and across the league) were obviously struggling after an intense period of the fixture, so early in the season. Clarry more so than the average player, for reasons known.  

Assuming his hand is right enough, I think he’ll be better-off for those matches and a decent recovery period.

Fair point, but he could hardly hold the footy last week, we were effectively one player down... would rather give someone else some experience against a lesser opposition, and get him cherry ripe

Drop one of the Pettys and add JVR

I assumed one of the draw cards of staying at Melbourne was playing with his brother

Handy with Geelong and Carlton coming up that McAdam looks likely to play in those fixtures. I'd say that's what they targeted for his return from a ways out.

I think with him fit, he's going to add a real potency to our forward half and push real pressure for spots. 

Yeah bringing him back through the VFL this week, if he plays ok I'd expect to see him in for Geelong or Carlton at the latest if he has the fitness levels required.

I am expecting McAdam to play the defensive forward role on interceptors like Harris Andrews, which frees Petty and Fritsch to attack. So even though McAdam will probably replace a Tholstrup or Billings, it's a different role.

Name	Injury	Expected Return
Jake Bowey	Shoulder	1 week
Christian Salem	Hamstring	2 - 3 weeks
Charlie Spargo	Achilles	3 - 4 weeks
Jake Melksham	Knee	6 - 8 weeks

[Demonland 73,842]

Charlie Spargo in a holding pattern.

324 is the new 426.

[Demonstone 23,434]

That's a very small injury list.  Maybe this Selwyn bloke knows what he's doing.

Adelaide, by comparison, now has four players out for the season.  I forget who their fitness guy is.

It's sounding a little more like it will be the latter, at best, Andy.

On a brighter note, and while touching my head plus any other wood at hand, our injury list is starting to shrink to a fairly negligible level.

[Chelly 846]

Injury List: Round 8 

Jake Bowey — shoulder / 1 week
Christian Salem — hamstring / 2 - 3 weeks    
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / 3 - 4 weeks     
Jake Melksham  — knee / 6 - 8 weeks

He needs an op but won’t have it!

I have almost zero faith that we’ll see much of McAdam ever at this club. He may string a few games together but my mail is he is extremely injury prone.

Good judge on him going forward….did you think he could kick 3 in first go forward.

The latter (Burgo)?

An integral part of our premiership team.
