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

Petty hamstring?  I thought he hurt his ankle?

 

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

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
