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.

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? 


Injury and Suspension List: Round 5  

Daniel Turner — hip / available   
Kysaiah Pickett  — suspended / 1 week *
Marty Hore — thumb / 2 - 3 weeks    
Shane McAdam — hamstring / 2 - 3 weeks      
Charlie Spargo — Achilles / 4 weeks    
Jake Bowey — shoulder / 5 - 6 weeks  
Jake Melksham — knee / 10 - 12 weeks      

* suspension under appeal

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.

It might be a case of  "don't believe everything you read"  jnr!

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

    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

    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.
