Bit of talk about now in the Casey thread - sounds like 4 is gonna be around the mark. ive had it too... very frustrating injury.

And Zak Jones is a very good player with some serious wheels.

Neville Jetta BOG for mine tonight. Having a cracking year.

It's up on the AFL site chook.

Noticed that too. Hopefully the 9 days will be enough time to repair a strain.

"Go on, give it to Buddy - give him 5!!" almost dry retched when he said that. Stick to athletics you muppet.

Tyson?

Viney confirmed Plantar Fascia. Great... a month at least.

And he's had it 14 times! That equals 14 turnovers.

Lots of fumbling by every single Melbourne player out these - except for Omac. We are heading for decimation.

I worded it that way to give someone the opportunity.

We could be playing our Casey team tonight and I'd still tip the Demons. 17 points.

The missed the ducking stat: Viney - 0 Selwood - 423.75

No. If one of the 22 cannot play tomorrow night due to an unforeseen issue, then one the emergencies will come in. Encouragjng and potentially very meaningful.

Interesting to see DJ as an emergency in front of Kent, Kennedy.

Melbourne team: round 15 B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta HB: Jordan Lewis, Sam Frost, Jayden Hunt C: James Harmes, Dom Tyson, Bernie Vince HF: Billy Stretch, Cam Pedersen, Christian Petracca F: Clayton Oliver, Tom McDonald, Alex Neal-Bullen Foll: Max Gawn, Jake Melksham, Jack Viney I/C: Mitch Hannan, Tom Bugg, Mitch White, Josh Wagner Emg: Jack Trengove, Sam Weideman, Dion Johnstone In: Wagner, White Out: Garlett (hamstring), Salem (hamstring)

Was it that same wind that helped knock Oliver over? It's all becoming clear now.

After reading that article it just reminds me that the games we dropped against Freo, Hawks, Nth and Tigers will be the reason we miss the Top 4. Geez, we'd be clear atop of the ladder if we'd won those. Must account for Nth and Saints in the run home.

I think it's about time the AFL started looking at alterations to ground surfaces - particularly to keep pace with the frequency of rule changes. I'd like to see some grounds with a 2m elevation from one to the other. Maybe a hump across the half forward and back lines. Turn another ground into a velodrome type set-up with berms so the faster players can use them to run high and evade tacklers. I also have some thoughts on things such as artificial breezes caused by huge fans at either ends of some grounds which could counter-act some of the one-sided umpiring we regulalry see. Just a few thoughts.

Belief. The team has it. It's Friday night - another opportunity to make a real statement. I would not be the slightest bit surprised if they pull off another remarkable victory.

In today's West Australian rag. As if we needed anymore reason to loathe this mob.

Nail. head.

I'm assuming you actually did that to yourself prior to posting just to vindicate your stance?
