Ben Holland (quad) - available

John Meesen (ankle) - test

Paul Johnson (hand) - 3 weeks

Ricky Petterd (groin) - 4-6 weeks

Jack Grimes (back) - indefinite

Petterd looks a worry - now 4-6 weeks. OP? Will we see him again this year? I fear not. :angry:

As for Grimes -

He was drafted with the knowledge that he was recovering from stress fractures in the back.

Apparantly he has now got issues with his lower leg, apparently strees related and as well as "groin" problems that we are now hearing reports about.

My spies tell me he definately will not play seniors at all this year.

The positives are that he is said to have impeccable leadership qualities.

But...

Unfortunately his body (as does Col Sylvia's) appears to have a vulnerability to high workload professional trainning.

In this day and age, we want and we need our footballers to gobble up the trainning workload and then want some more, a la Ben Cousins' trainning regime that we have heard about.

I am gobsmacked! :wacko:

    Absolute shite for Petterd.

    Poor kid goes from a life-threatening lung injury to the dreaded 4-6 weeks 'groin' injury.

    :(:(

    But hey, Holland is listed as a 'test'... yippee :P

    Yeah thats a real [censored] about Petterd, no doubt he is in our best 22.

    On the upside, Meesen listed as a test is a good thing. It might signal the end of Jamar.

    One can only hope!!

    Meesen has got to do something first to get a game. No matter what you may think, Jamar's form at Sandy has been truckloads better than that of Meesen's. Expect Jamar there for another couple of weeks.

    on the upside its a relatively small list, and in a finals contending year we would probably be happy about it - no big name players no key players. however in a developing year there are a number of names there that are no good. grimes, petterd, PJ, meesen and molony who isnt listed. bates been injured and now miller is suspended. thats a fair chunk of the list to be out of the side when you really want them to be playing most weeks.

    Hey! We're still contending for the finals this year! Cameron Bruce told us so :blink:

    In a Paul Williams inerview on the MFC website before the North game, he stated that if Jamar didnt perform, then Meesen would come in the next week

    Not 100% sure on Meesen injury wise, but Jamar certainly didnt perform against North

    The reason Moloney isn't mentioned might be because he isn't injured....funny that.

    yes he hasnt been listed all year. funny how he missed 2 games games (didn't even play for sandy) before having another urn for sandy this week.

    he isn't injured right now, but he has been injured, and as we've seen so far this year, bailey expects players to play a game or two at sandy before they get selected in the mfc side. i would also suggest that 1 good game in the sandy side isnt always enough to get back into the mfc side. a couple of players have been shown that they need to produce continued results to be considered. learn to dominant the play, and learn to be consistent is the message hear i think.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
