5 injured unavailable 

 

Woey jnr - quad/managed- 1 week

Max Gawn — ankle / test- 1 week

Lachie Hunter — calf / 1 week

Charlie Spargo — Achilles / season

Christian Petracca — spleen / season

1 medical retirement Angus10

1 indefinite suspension JS29

3 travelling emergencies having a WA holiday break 🥤 

11 available for Casey - Adams, Hore, Howes, Schache, BBB, Kentfield, McAdam, Sestan, Jefferson, Verrall, KBrown41

Does anyone know the actual recovery time for Trac? In some insane bizarro-world where we made a prelim, would he be a chance of returning? I remember reading that his spleen recovery could be up to 12 weeks but I'm imagining that would be before he could even start training.

Stevic and Gianfagna (delisted) have a particular disliking for MelbourneFC.

Now a bad time to tell you Gianfagna isnt delisted and is down to umpire us tomorrow vs Freo??

 

Injury List: Round 20

Lachie Hunter — calf / available
Max Gawn — ankle / test
Jed Adams — lung / 1 week
Koltyn Tholstrup — concussion / 1 - 2 weeks
Christian Salem — hamstring / 3 - 4 weeks
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / season
Christian Petracca — spleen / indefinite

Koltyn Tholstrup was the second casualty from the Sunday game, with delayed concussion symptoms pushing him into required protocols.

“Koltyn had a head knock in the game,” Griffith said.

“He passed the initial SCAT (sport concussion assessment tool) and was cleared of anything there.

“Following us returning to Melbourne, he had some delayed symptoms with headaches and altered vision and has now entered the concussion protocol. So, he'll progress through that as symptoms settle.”


And of course … not sure why BBB pushed on this year. I know he had a contract but he can’t play two games back to back and can hardly run.  A sad finish !!! 

 

Ben Brown was absent from both AFL and VFL matches due to some knee soreness.  

“Ben had some knee soreness last week following the game, we gave him every opportunity to be able to play the game, but unfortunately just wasn't able to,” Griffith said.

“So, we'll reassess that this week, with our main priority to make sure Ben is able to function to be at AFL level for the back end of the season.”

Salem’s body is cooked. Such a damn shame!

He will struggle to get back I recon. Doggie Brown will move to the backline next year and likely take his spot. In my opinion his ball use has declined and he has lost a yard of pace. 

 

I would put Christian Salem in cotton wool for the rest of the year to try and get him through the preseason and a better 2025. Very sad when a player nears the end of their career, he has been so good for us.

It's difficult to see Salem coming back in '24. I'd prefer to put him on ice so he can hopefully have a full pre-season and get more games into players like Howes and K.Brown.

I can think of about 400,000 reasons why.

Agreed.  Salem has had a good career but it appears injuries are slowing him down.  It was spoken about that he could step into the midfield this year.  Certainly not the case. 

arrgggh re: Salem. poor fella, injury prone and body not holding up under the rigours of AFL. Hopefully his contract was front-ended so he can play out his days guilt free at the Dees.

Might have been worth exploring paying BBB out and sliding him across to an AFLW and/or assistant coaching role. Presumably his salary would still be in our cap, but surely that could have been absorbed with Grundy et al. traded out last year.

COVID is an illness but there are a multitude of illnesses that are not Covid.

Trac now listed as indefinite. 😱

Always has been, was never 'season' nor with weeks attached.

May refractures ribs. Didn’t see the contest anybody see anything? I wonder if the incident may have been a rib tickler or in play? 

It’s the same ribs as before, so it may not have taken much to re-injure them. 
I suggest it’s season over for him.

Yes agree he has certainly had enough pain this year it would start to wreck you mentally.

 

Round 22 likely

Steven May - ribs / season 
Christian Salem — hamstring / season
Caleb Windsor — ankle / season
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / season
Christian Petracca — spleen / indefinite

Umpire 22 is a shocker for the Demons!!

Stevic umpired very well in our GF win. No sign of dislike for the Demons there.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
