COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization.

Most common symptoms:
fever
dry cough
tiredness
Less common symptoms:
aches and pains
sore throat
diarrhoea
conjunctivitis
headache
loss of taste or smell
a rash on skin, or discolouration of fingers or toes
 
Serious symptoms:
 
difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
chest pain or pressure
loss of speech or movement
 
===========================================================
Gastroenteritis, on the other hand, attacks your intestines, causing signs and symptoms, such as:
  • Watery, usually nonbloody diarrhea — bloody diarrhea usually means you have a different, more severe infection.
  • Abdominal cramps and pain.
  • Nausea, vomiting or both.
  • Occasional muscle aches or headache.
  • Low-grade fever.

I’m massively disappointed in Kozzie for breaking the COVID rules, given the length of tie between matches you’d think players would be extra careful. 

I’m hoping that Bedford is the one the bring in for him but I could see ANB being preferred with  some more runs on the board. Both had pretty poor games vs WC. 

Can’t see it happening but maybe as another option AvB, sounded like he and Bennell were at similar stages but it’d be a risk to have two debutants and two players who’ve barely played footy in the last 18-24 months.

Should also be suspended for a week for not using proper hygiene protocols.


Understand players are not robots  but do we still have a lack of strong culture or leaders within our club?? 

Will we have special dispensation to bring someone in that’s outside the listed 26?

Say O Mac who could release Smith as a forward or Lockhart who could potentially play as a small forward?

 

I was thinking why not play Vanders. He's in our best 22 and can play forward or midfield.

If you can bother reading the thread you might find an answer

He’d had a good pre-season before the broken foot as well. Personally I’d be happy but would we be taking too big a risk with two newbs and two returning from long term injuries?

I did

Wouldn't be surprised to see Oscar in and Harmes back up the ground...

...but ANB has just been named in the 22.

I hope not. Kossie is just a kid. He will learn from it and is probably devastated to not only miss the game but also Nev’s 150! Don’t like the ANB in, would have preferred Bedford or Lockhart. I thought Locky played well in round 1 and Bedford showed glimpses especially in the last quarter as he came to grips with the tempo. 

Disappointed to see ANB in the side would prefer Bedford. I can see Hunt and ANB making way for Kossie and Vanders next week.

I hope Goody takes ANB aside and makes it clear to him that this is a lucky occurrence, he should not be in the team based on the WC game he's been given this lucky shot to prove himself. I'd be telling him there are a bunch of players chomping at the bit to get out there, so make it hard on the selection committee to not pick him.

It starts with you bonehead why don’t you post something positive at some point you are clearly not a Melbourne supporter

Who plays on the tall Blue forwards? Casboult, McKay and McGovern.  May and ... ??? 
Lever is best as a 3rd defender to intercept and not in a key post. Joel Smith also undersized imo

Lever is 195cm and Smith plays about 2m can jump over tall buildings if he doesn’t get hurt!

Luke Jackson to play as a defender tomorrow.

Sauce - Gerard Healy who know Jones well.

My question is why not just play O Mac on one of Casboult, McKay or McGovern?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
