Sorry I’m late to the party here - is it true this game is only on Kayo?? Not Foxtel?

We played our best available side last week. 2 players (Lever, Fritsch) were sore and 1 had covid (Viney)

We’ll play our best available side now, a week later. 3 players (May, Hibbo, Salem) pulled up sore, 1 is injured.

Then in round 1 we’ll pick the best side possible and of course a lot of fringe players will miss out. 4 of the 26 likely won’t play tomorrow unless there’s injuries or need for fresh legs late.

May, Salem and likely Hibbo (Smith and Hunt a chance to pinch his spot if he’s not cherry ripe) will come back. Just as Viney, Lever and Fritsch came back this week. 

I recall reading that Viney was missing last week because of "Covid protocols". At the time I thought this meant either that he has Covid or someone he had been in contact with, such as another family member, had. Do we know for sure that he had Covid?

You’re correct, I was just keeping it brief. Protocols is all I know

It's a practice match. A barrier trial. The great Nature Strip is regularly beaten in trials by horses who are not fit to eat the leftovers from his feed bin.   

I am not concerned with the result tonight. Keep our powder dry and rest our sore guys until the real stuff starts.  I WILL say however that if anyone needs to go hard and impress, it's Sam Weideman.

Im not concerned by the result as long as we beat a weak looking Carlton by around 5 goals!
