Don't know anything more than this tweet from Rohan Connolly. I'm certainly curious as to what he means by "huge logistical issues". For the competition? For the AFL? For the MCG?

Very sketchy rumours going around it's something to do with senior coaches or along those lines.

    Maybe one of the umpires has tested positive?

    (So many jokes...positive to stupidity? Covid is believed to have transferred to humans from animals. Can it also be transferred from humans to white maggots?)

    That didn't age well.

    Remarkable that no other players caught it

     

    As Voss tested + on Friday morning how is it that all those in the coaches box on Thursday night aren't in iso as close contacts?

    Depends on the definitions of close contacts. Did they spend more than 4 hours in an enclosed space. Probably. Moot point though from April 1. No isolating as close contact unless you develop symptoms.

    Who are the top up coaches? Neeld? Malthouse?

    Thanks, I didn't realise it was 4 hours.

    I'm glad the whole coaching panel isn't affected.  Would hope the season is as even as possible and wins are are achieved on merit rather than covid rules, this year.

    In SA the definition is 15 minutes which makes life interesting.

    In the event that Goodwin got Covid, who do you think would be given match-day duties? Are there any restrictions - could Richardson for example take over, and let Yze concentrate on his current role? And who would you want it to be?

    Yze I believe is the main channel of communication in the box between himself and Goodwin on the bench. So I would say Yze. 
    It’s quite good that Goody coaches from the bench. It means less chance of the other coaches passing it to him as they’re in the box.

    That's a good point. It also lowers the risk for Goodwin because he's outdoors.

    the WA teams could really mess things up (for themselves 😂)

     

    We may end up starting the season with most teams having 70-80% of players having caught and recovered from Covid, but they may have zero, they are the two clubs at most risk of being unable to field a team over a 2-3 week period 

    Just call me Nostradamus (well for a WC perspective)!

    Poor old West Coast, me heart bleeds

    Maybe they should have waited until Darling was double vaxxed before letting him train?  lol

    As I said earlier in the thread, WA teams will suffer more from Covid than anyone else because Covid is so new up there and now everyone is catching it.

    There is one person to blame here and that is their Premier. Regardless of which party he’s with had he opened earlier their footy teams wouldn’t be suffering.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
