I wanted to discuss this. I’m piecing together snippets and wonder if anyone has more info. We played monday night v WC  ( late) flew bk the same night into Melb, probably arriving Tues  at 6-7 am? 

Once we got bk we’ve had to go into 72 hours of iso so Adelaide are allowed to come over. So lets  say that ended Friday lunch time. 

I heard Gawn speaking saying we’re having. training run Sat and that’s it! That’s a massive disruption isn’t it?  Meanwhile Adelaide have a week w everything as normal. How do players deal w injuries, do rehab, fitness etc etc? 

I guess if we come out a bit rusty we’ve got to cut them a bit of slack. Glad it’s Adelaide not Geelong.

    I would suspect we are in a tampering off for finals period now, fitness will be in a maintenance phase mainly through games.

     So maybe not such a big disruption...

    If you’re premiership worthy then you will play any team, anywhere, anytime … and win.

    Was wondering the same when I heard Gus during his podcast (I think it was Wednesday) that he was still tired a little. They had a training run on Wednesday at Goschs judging by the videos on the MFC site. May also said there’s a Captain’s Run today.

    They trained fully on Wednesday and had a captains run today.

    Honestly,  I have no issues with our preparation this week. We learnt a great deal last year and handled it fine.

    No 8-hour flight or 7-day quarantine...could be tricky!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
