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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
