I think this is tongue in cheek but can't say for sure:-My Essendon Integrity Officer Job Application

No ceegar for India - missed out by 40 runs. I suppose if the Aussies can topple the Proteas over there then we could take the #1 in the world mantle.

I'd like to be there but can't make it. Look forward to your report.

He might also get a game with his beloved Bombers as well next year if he's fit and the number of infractions is high enough.

Some might have missed it due to all the stuff that was going down with Hird yesterday but TMac was interviewed on SEN - Dees morale never dropped despite losses .

Sorry, spellcheck's stufphed.

Feel sorry for the Essendon players and their fans.The players had a fantastic season under difficult circumstances and showed a lot more backbone than ours did under fire. As for Hird, Dank, Robinson and co they can go suck eggs.

Callan Ward already ruled out because of an operation today.

The hidden penalty will come in time. The loss of draft picks will be costly going well into the future and if the final ASADA report hasn't come out by the trade period then the Bombers are out of the picture there because nobody will want any of their players.

Tom Couch (hamstring) test Jack Fitzpatrick (concussion) test Jeremy Howe (concussion) test Nathan Stark (ankle) 2-4 weeks Jesse Hogan (knee) 4 weeks Sam Blease (ankle) season Shannon Byrnes (foot) season Mitch Clark (foot) season Michael Evans (foot) season Daniel Nicholson (groin) season David Rodan (knee) season James Strauss (shoulder) season

Hogan set to miss VFL finals There's already a separate thread about Jesse Hogan's injury but here are the rest:- Dom Barry (groin) test Chris Dawes (calf) test James Frawley (hamstring) test Tom Gillies (calf) test Mark Jamar (toe) test Tom Couch (hamstring) 2 weeks Jesse Hogan (knee) 4-6 weeks Sam Blease (ankle) season Shannon Byrnes (foot) season Mitch Clark (foot) season Michael Evans (foot) season James Strauss (shoulder) season With four players injured at the weekend and Joel Macdonald retiring, it's a massive blow to the Casey Scorpions' finals prospects.

Chris Dawes (calf) test James Frawley (hamstring) test Tom Gillies (calf) test Mark Jamar (foot) test Cameron Pedersen (ill) test Nathan Stark (ankle) test Tom Couch (hamstring) 2 weeks Mitch Clark (foot) season Michael Evans (foot) season Injury List - Round 21

Brent Moloney burns another coach. Now that's what I call KARMA!!!

We know all about James Frawley and his hamstring injury - Frawley set to miss up to a month But here's the full injury list: Rohan Bail (knee) test Colin Garland (ankle) test Joel Macdonald (groin) test Jordie Mackenzie (concussion) test David Rodan (hamstring) test James Sellar (hamstring) test Nathan Stark (ankle) test Tom Couch (hamstring) 2 weeks Mark Jamar (foot) 2 weeks Michael Evans (foot) 3 weeks James Frawley (hamstring) 3-4 weeks Mitch Clark (foot) season

The quote in the post above came from ROUND 14 VFL PLAYER REVIEW This one's about Troy Davis:

Garland unlikely to play against Kangas Rohan Bail (knee) 2-3 weeks Mitch Clark (foot) season Tom Couch (hamstring) 2 weeks Michael Evans (foot) 3 weeks Colin Garland (ankle) test Mark Jamar (foot) 3 weeks Joel Macdonald (groin) test David Rodan (hamstring) 1-2 weeks Nathan Stark (ankle) test

Round 16 Melbourne injury list Rohan Bail (knee) 2-3 weeks Sam Blease (ankle) test Mitch Clark (foot) indefinite Michael Evans (foot) 3 weeks James Frawley (hamstring) test Mark Jamar (foot) 3 weeks Joel Macdonald (foot) available Jordie McKenzie (elbow) available Nathan Stark (ankle) 1-2 weeks Jack Viney (foot) available

Not that it matters very much because the entire list is on a very well deserved, hard earned break this weekend but cop this anyway:- Mitch Clark (foot) 4-5 weeks Chris Dawes (ankle) 1-2 weeks James Frawley (hamstring) 3 weeks Jack Grimes (shoulder) 3-4 weeks Jordie McKenzie (face) test Jack Viney (toe) 1 week

According to the Age - It's Thursday and they don't know yet?

That game didn't count. We were tanking but Andy should come back with that team just for the record.

I'm not even going to waste anybody's time with the injury list from the Herald Sun's barometer series because they never get it right and even if they were remotely close, they would still miss out on the mystery injuries of the week like Shannon Byrnes and Jack Viney from last week. So I'll concentrate on the opposition this week and if they got them right, then we really can't cry about our injury toll this week: Jon Griffin (knee) season Kepler Bradley (knee) season Aaron Sandilands (hamstring) 5 weeks Matthew Pavlich (achilles) 2 weeks Anthony Morabito (knee) 4 weeks Stephen Hill (quad) 1-2 weeks Michael Walters (ankle) 3-4 weeks As for Melbourne, it's looking like one out will be Jimmy Toumpas while Jack Watts could come back from injury and Cam Pedersen is also a good chance after a very good game with Casey and possibly Sam Blease.

If he's the one I'm thinking about he's about 23 years old.

The Age list seems to be more up to date than the one in the HUN: Mark Jamar (groin) test, Jack Trengove (calf) test, Jack Watts (hamstring) test, Tom McDonald (shoulder) 1-2 weeks, Nathan Stark (groin) 2 weeks, Mitch Clark (foot) 5-7 weeks, Jack Grimes (shoulder) 6-8 weeks.

Apart from Tom Mac, there's no let up in sight according to the BAROMETER and Colin Sylvia's out for 3 weeks as well. Mark Jamar (groin) 1-2 weeks Jack Watts (hamstring) 1-2 weeks Jack Grimes (collarbone) 6-7 weeks Mitch Clark (foot) 6-7 weeks Jack Trengove (calf) 2-3 weeks Tom McDonald (shoulder) TBA This doesn't take into account the obligatory one or two mystery injuries of the week. IMO, we just swap 8 or 9 players with Casey and be done with it. Inclusions should be Nev Jetta, Jimmy T and Jack Fitzpatrick as well as Tom.

And rookie Nathan Stark for a couple of weeks.
