    Dont worry, we might still get an elimination final against Essendon this year

    Better now than later in the season. Though once again, it confirms that so often players are carrying injuries we don't know about that must be impacting their performance.

    Not an excuse for Sunday, but I wonder if there wasn't more going on than we knew - Max for one, May for two. Why was May playing on the less dangerous, less mobile forward, especially once it was clear that Waterman had McDonald's measure?

    Just idle conjecture, but I know from being around elite level sport in various ways from time to time that all isn't always as it seems.

    We have plenty of cover for him. Not 100% but good enough. Next in line .

    Who? Because both Hore and Disco are injured. So in fact we have 0 intercept defenders right now who are fit.

    We can probably cover a forward more easily. In which case drop Petty back and replace him.

    This might force us to abandon the failed Petty forward experiment. 

    I imagine Tomlinson will be recalled before we bury the Petty forward experiment. JVR (provided he's recalled) will play 20-25% ruck which will leave us too short in the F50 without Petty.

    I agree that Petty should go back, despite it completely stuffing up any continuity for him trying to become a forward. 
    However we don’t have forward cover either. Brown is unable to run, Schache is no good and injured, and I believe Fullerton is also injured? 
    Playing with only one tall in JVR is not going to work especially as he also has to help in the ruck.

    Tommo comes in always solid never rewarded, at least until hore or disco are ready.  Petty stays forward we need him to hit form if we are any chance of winning a final. can't rely on Roo to be our main goto all season.

    If Tomlinson doesn't come in now I have no idea why he is on our list. Yes, he's no world beater but has been Casey's best and is the natural replacement.  Petty has to remain up front given the paucity of forwards. I'm not overly confident this will occur.

    Looking ominous.

    If this injury dates back to the tweak against Hawthorn I'll be quite peeved.

    Is there anyone on our list who isn't (a) carrying an injury that should have been rested earlier or (b) coming back from injury lacking form and match fitness? Our player management is leaving a lot to be desired.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
