Melbourne are playing a great game v Collingwood. It will be a tough game next week.Comment

I was pretty pissed after the game.
Been spoilt this year, being generally happy each week. Even the losses were ok, 10 pts, 1 pt
This week sucked, not just because of the crap we dished up, but more the collateral damage.
Found I was pretty short with family members for an hour or so after the game.
This news makes me feel a lot better.
Losing a game is one thing, but when 2 of your better players also go down, it's pretty disappointing...The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Tippett - hamstring tendon, "up to six weeks"
Marsh - hamstring, will miss against the Dees
Rohan - fitness test, expected to play
Reid - three weeksComment

Hewett for Rohan
Nankervis or Naismith for Tippett
Ted for Marsh
No need for any knee-jerk sackings at this stage but that could well change if we don't turn up next week which I fully expect us to.
It's a massive match for us next Sunday. We've had a good run with injuries and we now need the week off for sure but a final push next week before the break next week will see us enter the last 10 weeks in good formComment

OUT: Tippett, Marsh, McGlynn
IN: Nankervis, Teddy, Hewett
Nankervis in depending on whether he's injured, obviously. Of the two options Ugg outlined, I'd prefer Sinclair to number 1 ruck and Nankervis the number 2 role. Agree Naismith a better body fit for Gawn, but it'd be harsh on Sinclair and Nankervis is dangerous forward.
Ben's lost a couple of yards, he has career-worst average disposals and his tackle average is down. He's following the game. Hewett in for Ben, but he's effectively being replaced by Rose.
Shame for Marsh, he's been composed. Nice kick.Comment

Marsh will be better for the run and he was not disgraced last night. He did quite well against a beast in Cameron that really he should not have been up against. Further evidence for me that we need a KPD and that we can't just "make do" next season.Comment

My understanding is that Rohan will miss a week, you'd have to think we'd be conservative with him given his injury history.
