reported on the footy show... GREEN OUT FOR SEASON

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tab...89/default.aspx

MELBOURNE will be without No. 1 draft pick Jack Watts for up to a fortnight after he chipped a bone in his thumb playing for VFL affiliate Casey Scorpions.

The club confirmed on Thursday night that x-rays had revealed the injury sustained last weekend.

Watts has played three games for the Demons this season but has not appeared since the round 13 loss to the Brisbane Lions.

The 18-year-old's injury is among a number that have hit Melbourne's senior side with Jack Grimes (back), Brock McLean (knee), Mark Jamar (quad) and Brad Green (wrist) set to miss this week's clash with the Sydney Swans.

Grimes landed awkwardly after a marking contest during last weekend’s game against Geelong and hyper-extended his lower back. He played out the match but has not been able to train this week and is expected to also miss a week or two.

The news is worse for Jamar, who strained his left quad in the same game and will miss two to three matches.

Green has had wrist soreness for the past month. Unable to train on Thursday, he wasn't considered for this weekend’s game against the Swans.

McLean is also sidelined after an ongoing knee injury flared after the Cats game. The midfielder initially injured his knee in a collision during Melbourne’s round 15 win over Port Adelaide and played in pain last week.

However, rookie midfielder Jordie McKenzie was elevated to Melbourne's senior list on Thursday to cover some of these losses.

The Demons used the new AFL guidelines that allow a rookie to be elevated without the need to place a player on the long-term injury list.

McKenzie was selected with the first pick in the 2009 NAB AFL Rookie Draft and hails from Mortlake in eastern Victoria.

Senior coach Dean Bailey said McKenzie had deserved his promotion.

"This is a good outcome for Jordie," he said. "He has been one of the players who has really impressed us throughout the season playing for the Casey Scorpions, and his elevation is a nice reward for all his hard work this year."

id expect

P.Johnson (for another ruck), K.Cheney, N.Jetta and probably M.Whelan as the I/C

would love to have S.Valenti, J.McKenzie and R.Bail in though!!

Hilarious ins!! I was beginning to doubt Bails would come through with the goods.. then we see this! HOOHA!!!

how do you put Petterd and Warnock in this and leave out Bruce.. great poll..

1. Liam Jurrah

2. Jack Grimes

3. Colin Sylvia

4. Jack Watts

5. Cale Morton

no Bruce?

wow what a surprise.. YM rips on Bruce again.. even when he has was one of our best the last bunch of games.. then he has one poor game.. against the CATS.. and then you start a thread about how he should be let go..

he had one bad game.. get over it

how did the reserves go? Bucks? Spencer?

Congrats Brucey!! You are a god!!

"unable to diagnose their mystery injuries"

wow thats a pretty poor press release haha

Wonaeamirri still out 3-4!!! that never changes.. are we ever going to see him in action this season? i want to see him in the pocket next to jurrah!

this thread makes me very very happy!

yay.. we might still get scully!! hooha!!

Out: bruce, davey, jurrah, green, moloney, jones, rivers, jamar, etc

In: a lot of crap people

I am really that much of a [censored].

thats ok then

Wow, he finally has a half decent game and everyone is jumping for joy.

Newsflash - he is our highest paid player and Vice Captain. He should be impacting game every single week, but simply doesnt.

Trade or delist.

Dude are you making all of these calls against Bruce just to stir some people on this site.. or are you really that much of a [censored]?

6 Bruce

5 Jurrah

4 Moloney

3 Rivers

2 Petterd

1 Jetta

the rest are pretty safe losses against sides that want the points for their finals campaigns.

we thought the same about port.. that didnt turn out as we thought!

i think the dees actually have a chance of winning the next 6 games.. i doubt the dees will only win one game out of -

geelong (who have a crap load of injuries)

sydney (who arent that good anymore)

tigers

north

freo

and carlton

finals push?

Bails already said on SEN he wouldnt take him.. plus Baz wouldnt want to play his last year/s for a bottom team id think

at least we can still watch watts in some way.. hopefully he dominates!!

WATTERS!!

There is no way we should tank.

The winning culture we developed by beating the bulldogs and carlton late in 2007 is sure to be a major driving force for us in the future.

:lol:

any more updates??

How good was Nate Jones on the weekend! Pretty inspiring effort by the kid.. after a massive knock he was still right in the middle of every pack diving for the ball! Similar can be said for Brock. I know both of these guys get heat for not being the quickest midfielders.. but I love the fact that we have a few hard nuts that will get right in there and can still produce the ball. As far as I am concerned there will always be a place for them in the side!

NATE JONES.. WE'RE NOT WORTHY!! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!

Having said that I would still love to get some players like Scully, Blease, etc with pace.. but you need a combination of both in my opinion!
