No mention of Jesse and Clarry on the official list -

Bad luck to Billy Stretch just as soon as he breaks back into the team, he gets a stress fracture to the toe and that’s his season in all likelihood.

The unusual one this week is Jayden Hunt who is officially listed as a test even though I thought Simon Goodwin mentioned he was a couple of weeks ago in his presser.

I feel sorry for Coburg who are a very ordinary team playing 2nd place Casey who are a very strong team on paper.

This will be a slaughter I'm predicting the Dees to win by 150 points.

My Preferred Team

B: Frost, Hutchins, Johnstone

HB: J.Wagner, Keilty, Lockhart

C : Hannan, Stretch, Baker

HF: Balic, T.Smith, Bugg

F: Spargo, Pedersen, Weideman

FOLL: King, C.Wagner, Kennedy Harris

IC: Filipovic, Scott, Munro, Lok, Quigley

The 23rd man will probably change and Corey Wagner won player of the week for the second week in a row.

If the 23rd man changes then Quigley doesn’t play.

Melbourne injury list: round 14

Oscar McDonald (concussion) – available 
Dean Kent (hamstring) – 1 week

Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – 3 weeks
Jayden Hunt (ankle) – 4-6 weeks
Jake Lever (knee) – season 
Corey Maynard (hip) – season

What did he say?

Jake Melksham and Tim Smith should be clear to play.

Pedo not even on the injured list.

Jake Lever - we know.

Melbourne injury list: round 12

Dean Kent (hamstring) – 2 weeks
Jake Melksham (ankle) – test
Jake Lever (knee) – season
Corey Maynard (hip) – indefinite
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
Tim Smith (neck/ankle) – test
Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 4 weeks

It would appear with Jake Lever’s knee injury that we will be looking closely at our defenders in tomorrow’s Casey game v Williamstown.

There is no shortage of defenders of all shapes, sizes and age to cover the vacant position - Joel Smith (ironically hampered by injuries over the past 12 months), Sam Frost, Jayden Hunt and a couple of novices in Declan Keilty and Harry Petty.

Dees fear suspected ACL for star defender

The injury list continues to shrink 

Melbourne injury list: round 11

AFL 2018: Tom McDonald sent off for scans after injury scare at Melbourne training

Sounds like a precautionary move but if he has to miss then Pedo gets his chance.

The problem is that at Melbourne precautionary moves usually end up as being 4 to 6 weeks.

Mitch King (elbow) – available
Corey Maynard (hip) – indefinite
Pat McKenna (hamstring) – indefinite
Aaron vandenBerg (ankle) – 4-6 weeks

It will always be 31 (tbh we should retire that number as it carries such enormous expectations).

Perhaps we will when RDB leaves this mortal world. (But hell let's do it during his lifetime!)

Given his history with hamstring injuries, that would be for real.

North’s hammering of St Kilda was the best thing to happen for us. They don’t want to go into a game overconfident as they did both times last year against them.

Their team as above was very ordinary and yet we couldn’t beat them with a 5 goal breeze at our backs.

A different look at the team’s fitness for the week of Round 2 shows that we’re not that far off full strength -
