over an hour ago the AFL verdict was imminent according to Tom Morris so ...

Damn. If you said Tom Browne they would have been cleared to play.

    You can argue about their risks of exposure be it high or low but the fact of the matter is is that by breaking the rules, draconian or otherwise, they potentially put the whole team at "risk of having to forfeit" due to potential exposure.

    When did the club know about this?

    Were the boys at training today? Have they mixed with others since breaching? Doesn't Kozzy live with Jets? Does he now risk having to pull out because of second hand exposure. It's a potential minefield.

    I actually believe the risk is low but if the AFL and the state governments want to get tough they could wield a hammer here. I don't think they will but if any team was going to get [censored] it would be us.

    There’s nothing on the AFL site about it. Until we know how they were supposed to have breached regs, we can’t assume that it warrants a suspension.

    As if our forward line wasn’t [censored] enough! Now we lose Pickett... fmd.

    Reckon Carlton will win tomorrow. Just a feeling. Probably mfcss.

    Have a feeling Lockhart isn't fit. I couldn't believe he was out of the 22, let alone not an emergency.

    None of the remaining emergencies are a great fit however.

    Very disappointing.

    Whether you agree with the current COVID rules or not, they are there and the players know they are supposed to adhere to them.

    They may or may not. Either way, it won't be because Kozzie (a 1 game veteran) isn't playing.

    I heard he’s carrying a bit of an injury. I hope Bedford takes K-Picks spot.

    Is it possible that Hannan might get a run?

    His stupidity has cost him a place along side uncle Nev for his big milestone game.

    Looks like we have no choice but to delist Spargo as a result.

    Could not give a fat rats Clacker about Spargo, But Kossie on the other hand is potentially a big loss!

    Forgive my lack of awareness but what are the rules for players? Zero contact with any of the public aside from other players and coaches?

    Exactly. No point wrist slashing yet.

    Good shout, haven’t heard anything about Hannan but if he’s fit I’d be keen to see him back in the line up.

    no contact outside your approved bubble. Every players living environment has been approved.

    Not sure if they are even allowed out for food shopping

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
