    Brett Ratten's turn to miss this week due to Covid protocols. Not sure if he has Covid or is a close contact. Shows the importance of having a smooth running coaching team and not just relying on a singular, autocratic coach.

    Speaking of.... I had the pleasure of a 3hr drive on Sunday so plonked the ABC on for the footy.. Mick Malthouse sounds like his mental capacity has declined these last few years out of the coaching spotlight. His commentary was all over the place.

    The stand-in coaches are 3 for 3. All the tactics are worked out during the week, and gone are the days of the hot gospellers who motivated players on gameday.

    I’m so sorry to hear that, DZ. Hopefully you and your daughter aren’t hit too hard by it. Rest up and drink plenty of water. And by plenty I mean minimum two and a half litres. 
    Take it easy. 💖

    Everyone should drink at least two litres of water per day EVERY day. (Two and a half to three litres if you’re unwell.) I do, and have done so for years. You’d be amazed at the difference it makes. 👌🏽

    Now that close contacts will no longer need to isolate, at least not in Vic and NSW, we are less likely to lose a player for covid protocols. 

    Only a matter of time before other east coast teams follow suit.

    Do the rules regarding close contacts differ much between the States? If so, does this compromise the AFL competition? For example, could the WA teams lose more players to "Health and Safety Protocols" than Victoria and NSW?

    I haven't checked all the states.  The pattern seems to be Vic and NSW act in lock-step re covid rules then other east coast states gradually follow.

    Gil has said the game will go on and clubs use top players if necessary.  He has walked this talk when Eagles couldn't field an AFL team.

    Yes, WA will and have had lost more players to covid protocols.

    I assume that if there is an east coast player who is a close contact and his team play interstate the player will have to follow its iso rules.  Other than that most teams will only lose a player when he tests positive.

    Poor BBB a few weeks too late for him, ended up missing 3 games when you facture in his suspension.

    • 2 weeks later...

    It appears Freo may have a few players in covid protocols:

    "It’ll be a nervous week at Fremantle after its big win over Geelong. Rory Lobb, Blake Acres and Travis Colyer are believed to be isolating, ruling them out against the Roos, although the club is yet to confirm anything. Michael Frederick, Griffin Logue and Lloyd Meek were all notable absentees at training on Tuesday as the club waits on more test results...while Hayden Young and Heath Chapman will be eligible to return from their isolation periods".

    Lucky for them they are playing North this week. 

    Given the first Freo covid HS protocol case was reported on Monday and they played Geelong on Saturday I wouldn't be surprised if cases turn up at the Cats, unless the Freo guys are only 'close contacts' (by WA rules) which would seem long odds.

    Health and safety protocols is a good name for a pub.

    Would do good business too given people are always entering it.

    I love how Whately has said that the Freos position is compromised due to 6 players out with COVID and playing the bottom team whilst he was completely mute on our position entering the Hawthorn game.
     

    In fact nobody has really acknowledged what we were able to do. All I have heard is we look a bit off. FFS.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
