According to the news he will resume with Sandy this weekend. I wouldn't think he'd be back in Demon colors for 3-4 weeks though.

EDIT: Also, the news showed McLean training and he was moving pretty freely, leading me to believe it's not one of those Melbourne "he'll come back this week" stories that ends up being a month later.

Does being named in the 18 assure them a place in the final line-up?
I think so. I've never seen a player named in the starting 18 get dropped, unless they are injured or something. You know how coaches name a big player who is injured and he doesn't play. So my answer is yes.
 
The footy show makes them up.

I didn't see the Geelong team to see how badly they messed that up but for Sydney I noticed they had Doyle in the ruck, Chambers in the back pocket and Jolly on the bench :rolleyes:
 
Ferguson over Carroll WTF?????????
If Carroll doesn't play the selection committee is a disgrace.
I sure hope the Footy Show made it up.

Yeah our defense seems undermanned, especially in our tall key back positions. We desperately need Rivers and Bizzell in the team.

However I wouldn't rule out Ferguson as a strong player, he had some good form last year. Though I haven't seen him play recently. What he lacks in physical stature, he can hopefully make up in reading the ball effectively.

I'm not ruling Ferguson out, he's a decent player at his best. However was have named only Ferguson and Carroll as tall defenders.

If Carlton lineup as named they will have at least 3 tall forwards, for this reason alone Nicholson must play.

Yeah fair enough, either way our defense will be stretched.

no way they would be dumb enough to leave mclean at sandy for 3-4 weeks, if he can play a half at sandy or even a full game and get through unscathed i would have him straight back in. if he pulled up a bit sore or only played a half or so, then i'd give him one more week seeing as its the start of the season, but he will be in the team by round 3 guaranteed.

If he comes back in round 3 that would be 3 weeks (games).
