Misson’s injury assessments Dean Kent (hamstring) – 3 weeks “Kenty’s going really well. He’s doing some good solid running work and is starting to do some skills. He’ll play in and around the bye week.” Mitch King (elbow) – available “Mitch has had an elbow [injury] and has been going very well. He’s been doing a lot of contact in rehab, and he joined the group today for training. He’ll be available this week.” Corey Maynard (hip) – indefinite “Corey is progressing with that hip. He’s starting to run fast and is doing a bit more work in rehab. We’re not putting a timeframe on him.” Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite “Patty is starting to run at 90 per cent and we’re starting to increase his agility and one-on-one skills, but we’re not putting a definitive timeframe on him.” Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 4-6 weeks “Vanders is going really well. We’re seeing the type of athlete that we’ve come to know and love Aaron to be – he’s powerful, explosive, but he also has a good tank. He’s really showing that in rehab, so we’re looking forward to seeing him just after the bye.” Sam Weideman (calf) – 1 week “Weids unfortunately just had a minor calf strain at training last Thursday. He actually did the whole session, but we felt it was too risky to put him in for the game. We’re going to look after him by not pushing him to play this week on a short turnaround. We think he’ll definitely be available this week.”

Trengove or Trengrove?

I think it would be healthy for some including myself. There is no offseason at Demonland.

All 120 minutes including the presentation will be running on a loop at my house if that were to come to fruition.

Also @Drunkn167 if you are available we'd love to hear your thoughts later in the show re: the Dees listed players at Casey.

We can schedule more mandatory downtime if people feel they need to have a social life?

If we lose on Sunday then Adelaide may still be on 2.

If you have any questions for the boys then let me know and I'll ask them tonight.

You can waste the whole work week by watching it about 282 times.

I'm taking it a quarter at a time.

Agreed. I'm under no illusions that we've had a relatively easy month but you can only play who you play and we've done well and improved each week. This week (and the 2 after) is a big test for sure. The back half of the year will prove whether we are contenders or pretenders. We have the cattle do we have the mettle?

Shaun Smith is the guest on Open Mike. Tune in to watch the full episode on Fox Footy at 8.30pm on Tuesday night (22/5). EDIT: Clashes with the Demonland Podcast so tape Open Mike and watch it later.

I don't think this was a tactic or a set play per se. I think it was just football smarts all round by some classy players. Sure the witches hat opposition probably assisted but I bet we'll see more of this stuff in years to come.

See OP. The whole play was magnificent. From the Trac smother to the Nibbler pickup and handball to Spargo's dance and kick to space to Tracs run down the field to get in space and have the vision and presence of mind to tap it to Melk to Melk's snap and goal. Anyone who thinks that's ho hum and run of the mill obviously hasn't seen the last decade that I've seen.

Censorship? Posts that say another poster is full of shit are usually deleted by mods if we see them. I happened to see this one and it was deleted. Usually it would be accompanied by a warning. I didn't in this instance.

Tell me about it. You'd think they were bored Hawks fans in the last quarter of the 2015 Grand Final.

Exactly. I won't be worried unless I hear that contracts negotiations have been put on hold until the end of the year.

I doubt that they would have drafted Bayley with their pick but I am happy with our end of the trade.

I hope you have a bevvy of stats lined up. I was going to spend the first 1/2 hour debating which players heard Yanny and which heard Laurel.

How good was this goal assist? Not just the tap but the smother up the field and then his run down the field to get into open space. Honourable mention to the pick up by Nibbler who handballed to Spargo who shimmied and kicked to Petracca in space. Great team play.

I know it's a Tuesday but the Podcast will be LIVE tonight @ 8:30pm featuring @Grapeviney, @Supermercado and me. Listen and chat LIVE with us at http://demonland.com/podcast Call: 03 9016 3666 Skype: Demonland31
