ABC reporting Dees in isolation/getting test - one of our guys was in a hotspot...

 

Melbourne players and club in isolation. A player has been to an exposure site. 
Game may not go ahead. Get. [censored]. 

 

100% it’s one of the bars in Chapel Street. 
I knew this season was going too well.

I believe this might be due to Max and Gus attending a footy night (might have been one of those "That's good for footy" ones) at The Sporting Globe in Mordialloc, which has been declared a hotspot.

Some people also saying it's apparently Marty Hore, which might be the best of a bad situation if he's not bee around the club/training while injured?

Edit - Scratch that. Just saw DL's post above.

Edited by Lord Nev

This is why there was no training on wednesday i would say makes sense now.

Too much of a distraction to play the game now.

Its carnage everywhere, life and footy. Its really hard to accept and take at the moment, very deflating.. 

Game surely cant go ahead tomorrow night.. 


A forced reset might be OK.  We have been playing with some listlessness for the past month. 

Remember the discussion last year when Connor McKenna's situation caused our game Essendon to be postponed and a few posters wanted to blame Essendon? And some wanted us to be awarded the four points and to move on. This is what the wiser heads were thinking about when trying to quash those ideas.

Couldn't they all get tested then get there results back today or early tomorrow? Like the dogs did

They could, but the problem has been it seems like there's been a few 'early' tests that come back negative only to show positive later on when there's a 'stronger presence' in the system. You'd think the game would be cancelled now.

Good time to just bring the bye round forward just play what can be played this weekend 

Totally agree

That worked well for us*, we missed playing them while they were in form and got them when they were rotten.

* adjusting for already having stuffed the season up in Cairns.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
