Just watching the SYD game now, I see a few knocks.

Loving it, loving it.

Melbourne game against Sydney on now.

Jake Melksham definitely injured. Looked like his knee gave way.

Bayley Fritsch possibly injured… left foot. Went off the ground and has come back on.

Both would be big outs for the Dees.

Fritsch out will help was the difference last time.

It's basically an elimination QF. Lose and the path to the GF is through the Gabbatoir, which is nigh on impossible.

Sounds like we're playing on Thursday night.

AFL media are almost declaring it a certainty.

Think the winner of this match will end up playing in the GF against Brisbane.

That was a scarily impressive win by the Dees. Sydney had everything to play for and Melbourne nothing, but they still won, and won well.

As far as injuries to the Dees, it’s only Melksham who MAY miss from todays game. Looked a bit like Sideys knee, fairly innocuous and then it just gave way. He would be a significant blow to their forward line, so we wait on their injury report.

The Demons forward could miss finals action in the coming weeks due to the setback, with Melbourne's September campaign to commence against the minor premiers as early as Thursday, September 7.
