It a medical fact, the Flu virus can remain active in a beard for something like 7 years. Time to get rid of the beards boys, they're killing the club.

I'd believe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (as yet undiagnosed) or Ross River Virus (likewise).

Of course they might just be playing pox.

In all seriousness I heard over the weekend that McKenzie hasn't been well and him falling ill had something to do with the pool at AAMI. Some other players haven't been well either, not sure to what extent though as what I heard mainly centred on Jordie.

If thats true then it makes sense as i have had the worst flu of all time, and its stuck around for three weeks.

Totally drains you of energy.

I heard Watts, Dean Kent, and a few others have had the flu.

Kent's illness is mentioned in the VFL player review. Neeld already commented on Watts.

Surely at a professional sports club they would have had flu shots?

Or maybe they're too nervous to do it after Essendon's last injection day...

We know Watts was ill and you know of footy clubs that if one player is sick often more are.

Does little to excuse their performance because we had plenty of guys at Casey who were obviously fit.

Do the Melbourne Storm use that pool too?

Doesn't look like it's affected them. http://www.nrl.com/HoldenCup/Ladder/tabid/10718/Default.aspx

I would think they would but it's only flu shot time now, plus it only prevents against 3 strains of the flu anyway.

Would it be in the clubs interest to admit this or not?

Probably not if it's only a few.

Doesn't excuse the last two weeks, surely.

There is a virus doing the rounds and I've had it (still have) it's pretty bad and if any of the players have it I feel for them. I got a call from Robbo on Friday about some FH stuff and I told him I was too sick to talk, he mentioned that one of his band had it as well. My son's Fiance has it and has been off work for a while.

I lost 1 & 1/2 kilos in a day.

Does Piescum use that same pool or are we just pooling ourselves

They have their own I think. Probably have gold class passes to MSAC anyway given Eddie's pull.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
