Well having Milkshake & Marty Hore available will definitely make Casey that much stronger and hopefully Will Verrall, Jake Bowey and Harrison Petty will be OK, not sure about Christian Salem or Benny Brown.

    The good news and the bad news. The injury list is narrowing and hopefully, a number will pass their tests. The bad news is that a couple of them aren’t likely to pass their tests.

    Injury List: Round 17

    Marty Hore — calf / available
    Jake Melksham  — knee / available
    Jake Bowey — general soreness / test
    Ben Brown — knee / test
    Harrison Petty — hamstring / test
    Will Verrall — concussion / test
    Christian Salem — knee / test
    Charlie Spargo — Achilles / TBC
    Christian Petracca — spleen / indefinite

    Maybe Harrison is hamstrung by his ankle?

    And WTF is general soreness Bowey?  Presumably hiding something. 🙄

    Bowey was a late withdrawal with a corky in his back. I'd say his soreness has something to do with that

    Can anyone confirm if Charlie Spargo is actually alive?

    Has he been spotted in rehab groups at training?

    Why is Trac “indefinite” and not “season”?

     

    The injury isn’t a season ending injury and he would be a potential in the unlikely event that we made the prelim or GF..

    I would cut out my own spleen if Trac played again this year. It won’t happen even if we make the Grand Final.

    I imagine they are not sure of when he will be back playing based on the injury

    Two of our best players are out, with the next 3 weeks being a massive challenge.

    They probably allow for the possibility that he'll do something stupid like trying to play with broken ribs and a dodgy spleen, much like Max wants to play before his leg heals properly.

    Maybe we can rise to that challenge.

    It’s being reported that Charlie Spargo requires an Achilles operation and is out for the season.

    Hoping for a successful surgery and rehab and looking forward to seeing him out there in the preseason.

    I wonder why it’s taken this long (ie 3/4 of a season) for surgery to be actioned? And it won’t be a quick recovery I’ll bet. Poor guy.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
