Weideman?

Missed last week due to “soreness” and misses again this week. 

Translation: at Melbourne this means a likely 4 - 6 weeks if he can avoid surgery to overcome the “soreness”

Good to see Lever is almost set for a return, there’s no point in rushing him so I would be giving him half a game at the VFL reserves then up his game time in VFLseniors and assess if match fitness wise when he’s ready. 

Pruess is a chance, but I’m not sure if the Suns are a team we would bring him in for. 

The VFL hasn’t had a “reserves” competition since dumping the Development League at the end of 2017.

Logan who?

Melbourne approached this game in mid 2018 with more than a touch of arrogance and, in the end, paid dearly for their hubris.

Could history repeat and Petty get another game against St Kilda.

The injury toll will certainly be reflected in the team for tomorrow’s game. Here’s my list of Melbourne players available for Casey based on the injury list* -
 
12. Toby Bedford 
15. Billy Stretch
16. Kade Kolodjashnij
20. Corey Maynard
21. Braydon Preuss
23. James Jordon
33. Harrison Petty
35. Oskar Baker
37. Kade Chandler
41. Jay Lockhart
42. Josh Wagner
45. Declan Keilty
46. Austin Bradtke

* assuming Steven May is not available to play for Casey due to his suspension.

A beautiful day for some footy. 

How many thousands who normally go in by train are missing out today?

Pumped!

It’s becoming a common problem with footballers these days. 

Hopefully, he’ll come good.

Is the Casey ruckman playing?

Just thinking about it. A long drive to Shep. Twenty bucks admission to watch a game played in close to 40 degree heat. 

Alternative - go to the beach.

Tough decision.

AFLY?

And none of our players did a Mumford. Has he been reported for that?

Mumford is already due to miss two games because of a club-imposed suspension for an off-field incident.

This is an opportunity for the MRP to show there’s no place for thuggery - 3 weeks.

What a Willy Wonker

You need to work on your spelling chook.

I think I’ve been watching too much AFLW.

The standard is marginally better.

Another conspiracy theory would be the desire on the part of the AFL to ensure the participation of the traditionally powerful clubs in Carlton and Collingwood in the finals series. The Blues are on top and the Pies have been well beaten but could still make it if they start winning some games in their weak comp.

Surely, the organisers could have foreseen that the stronger sides were in one group?

Conversely, The Daily Planet (an award winning brothel in Elsternwick Victoria) is located in Horne St.

The freehold land on which the Daily Planet is located was sold last year. I have a feeling that the award winning brothel is soon going to go the way of the Gatwick.

Jack Viney vs Nathan Jones
Sam Frost vs Charlie Spargo
Jake Lever vs James Harmes
Joel Smith vs Christian Salem

Have you been to Oktoberfest before?

how is Elwood, i will be back soon

No, never been to Oktoberfest before.

Elwood is very pleasant these days, especially since the beach is so handy to home and best from this time of day till sunset.

Jake Melksham wasn't there as he returned to Melbourne to attend to a "personal matter" apparently.

A poster on Demonland wrote recently that he and his wife are expecting.

So according to his manager, it wasn’t cocaine (snort, snort ?).

Hope Port Adelaide believes that and allows him to play against us in round 1.

Go Dees!

Too hot to watch.
