Melbourne injury list: round eight Jack Fitzpatrick (neck) – test Sam Frost (toe) – 4-6 weeks Jesse Hogan (soreness) – test Neville Jetta (concussion) – test Jay Kennedy-Harris (groin) – 2 weeks Dean Kent (hamstring) – 8-10 weeks Christian Petracca (knee) – season Christian Salem (hamstring) – 3-4 weeks Jack Trengove (foot) – season Jack Viney (leg) – 1 week

Melbourne injury list: round three Jayden Hunt (back) – 2-3 weeks Christian Petracca (knee) – season Jack Trengove (foot) – season ANB is off the injury list and a chance to play for the Scorpions this weekend.

Or perhaps Radar Detector is actually THE G Lyon?

Injury list: round two Jayden Hunt (back) – 3-4 weeks Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) – 2-3 weeks Christian Petracca (knee) – season Jack Trengove (foot) – indefinite

In that case I'm tipping Casey.

I thought Voges was gone myself and would have gone for one of the younger up and comers but let's see how he goes on tour.

Almost missed it but the following is the club's injury list issued prior to today's game:- Jeremy Howe (hamstring) – 2-3 weeks Dean Kent (heel) – test Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) 3-4 weeks Christian Petracca (knee) – season Jack Trengove (foot) – indefinite Bernie Vince (hamstring) – 2-3 weeks

Does he know how to get to Box Hill?

Ban him from the NAB Challenge games.

There's no official list yet but it seems that it's possible to compile a rough injury list as follows:- Jack Trengove (navicular) - indefinite Christian Petracca (ACL) - indefinite Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) ? Bernie Vince (hamstring) ? Jeremy Howe (hamstring) ? Angus Brayshaw (concussion) - 1 week ? Max King (?) ? Some others like Jack Watts and Aaron Vandenberg are just coming out of rehab. If you have reliable information on the above or any others I might have missed out on, please provide it here.

Tracey Holmes = Bomber spin doctor. No credibility.

This was posted on the other thread about the NAB Challenge but deserves a place here as well - Rebecca Wilson: Egos of James Hird, Nathan Tinkler and Lance Armstrong causing chaos

I hope you blokes sober up by the start of the season.

Yes, Charter and Alavi declined to appear and the players, although represented at the Supreme Court don't appear to have made a big fuss about them attending. How can they turn around and complain later on that they don't have the opportunity to cross examine them on their evidence. If you're going to draw inferences, they are that that the players didn't particularly want them to give evidence because they felt that such evidence would not help their prospects of proving that they weren't given tb4.

This Knightmare must have nightmare's with his arithmetic. He has the bloke he's picked to go at 4 in the 5 - 15 range.

Actually, the performance of the midfield depends on a number of factors and not simply the personnel playing there. You need to take into account the tactics the coaches apply to midfield contents and the performance of the rucks as well. Even this year, our mids performed at their best when Jamar did well in the ruck. When he ran out of steam late in the season because of a lack of preseason training and we lost Cross, the midfield performance slipped.

Post-season medical room

There have been no posts to date responding to this thread but the articles contain a wealth of information about the potential draft pool. Is it possible for this to be made a "sticky" please so that it doesn't get lost in the pack?

A no 1 pick for a no 1 pick. How quaint!

Word out of Carrara is that Garry Ablett Junior wants to settle back in Victoria and has bought a $10m house in East Melbourne. Wants to end his career a Demon. Suns board want picks 2, 3 & 56 along with Toumpas and /or Salem.

Who said "chip"?

Our cause would be enhanced if the AFL announced it was considering scrapping FA compo as from next year.

You have to throw in Brent Moloney to Melbourne as well. No wait ... he retired, didn't he? Ok, throw in Zorko.
