INS - Bruce, Ward, Miller, C Johnson, P Johnson, Buckley

OUTS - Bate, Davey, Bell, Holland, Wheatley, Mc Donald - ALL INJURED

What's wrong with Junior?

And how is Robbo not on that injury list???

Big thumbs up for CJ, PJ and Buckley.

Honestly though, what does it matter? We're not in it to win and nobody even cares anymore. This may very well be the first time in Demonland history that we haven't had any game discussion pre-match, and even the list of 'ins' and 'outs' is not generating much interest.

think laterally ..

Robbo will be taken off ..and subsequently not available for next week either !!!

Junior...?

Looking forward to watching this one. Should be a cracker.

But no call-up for Godders? What a revelation!

So with McDonald out, that leaves Jeff White as the only player to have played every game this year. Unbelievable.

INS - Bruce, Ward, Miller, C Johnson, P Johnson, Buckley

Leaves Jeff White as the only player to play in every game this season. Do we have anybody left playing for Sandy on Saturday?

Gods I think !!

This is great we should only lose by 90 points

Gods I think !!

I would hope we have more out the following week for Carlton. We dont want a sniff in that game or this one. Two games I would be happy to lose.

Has a team ever had not a single player play every game in the season? This has to be a new record low you'd think...

Three rucks in the same team, this should be interesting. maybe PJ will play back?

What times the game start?

Pretty sure its 2:10 local which would make it 4:10 AEST.

We're waaay too top heavy with ruckmen for the fast-track Subiaco ground. Still, the last time

we played Freo there Nick Smith was our #2 ruckman.....

Carroll, Ferguson, Miller, Neitz, Newton, Johnson, Jamar, White.

I don't think that is too top heavy. Three talls fwd in Neitz, Newton and one of Miller, Johnson, White or Jamar. Three talls down back: Carroll, Ferg, and one of Miller or P Johnson and then two in the ruck. It really depends on where Miller plays, if he plays fwd then P. Johnson will have to play back, they may play Miller on Pavlich. Although, considering Miller may be traded/delisted at years end may mean he plays back so that we can have a ruck rotating in the fwd line.

no godfrey:(

No godfrey

good i want too see this

Also of interest in the team selections for this game is that my most detested player in the league and a player of some trade interest on this site in Ryan Murphy has been dropped.

Just to show you how much things have changed since Round 4 when they last met, here are the respective teams.

i think its fair to say that any players that arent injured and arent playing firsts are either gonna delisted next year or are in severe development mode.

players not chosen and arent injured:

Bizzel, Warnock, Neville, Garland and Weetra (Garland and Weetra first year rookies so theyre let off)

Bizzel, Warnock and Neville...is there any surer sign that these guyz are the first 3 going to be delisted at years end? sorry but if players arent getting chosen with so many injuries they are GAWN.

Not necessarily so. There will be a whole new football department next season.

ok so robbo needs to rest his knee, wheatly needs to get his shoulders right, we only need 2 other injurie and we could tell the afl that we officially have to forfeit against carlton because we dont have enough players, thus giving them the four points, avoiding the farce of a game in round 22 and getting us the priority pick

here is how the team has been named... curious that garland, bizzell and warnock have all been named as emergencies, all seem to be key backs... and godders couldn't even get a go in the emergencies, is he injured?

MELBOURNE

B: Nathan Carroll, Ryan Ferguson, Nathan Brown

HB: Chris Johnson, Brad Miller, Cameron Bruce

C: Brad Green, Travis Johnstone, Daniel Ward

HF: Byron Pickett, Russell Robertson, Michael Newton

F: Colin Sylvia, David Neitz, Paul Johnson

FOLL: Jeff White, Brock McLean, Nathan Jones

I/C: Mark Jamar, Simon Buckley, Jace Bode, Lynden Dunn

EMG: Colin Garland, Clint Bizzell, Matthew Warnock

and here is our injury list at present...

MELBOURNE:

Matthew Bate (thigh) - 1 week

Daniel Bell (back) - 1 week

James Frawley (ankle) - 1-2 weeks

Brent Moloney (groin) - 1-2 weeks

Clint Bartram (knee) - season

Aaron Davey (hamstring) - season

Ben Holland (shoulder) - season

Ricky Petterd (lung) - season

Jared Rivers (groin) - season

Matthew Whelan (ankle) - season

Adem Yze (hernia) - season

James McDonald - 1 week?

Paul Wheatley - 1 week?

that's 13 injured players... giving us 28 players to select our side from... with only neville, weetra and godfrey not making the team or the emergency list... fair to say we're in pretty bad shape

Quite possible that robbo and maybe neitz will not play.

Quite possible that robbo and maybe neitz will not play.

I think Brisbane have 14 on their injury list. Even ahead of us!

Godfrey is injured as well...isnt playing at sandy....

so that neville and weetra the only ones not selected in the 22 or as emergencies...

honestly u gotta be feelin the pressure if u were neville
