    The 3 outs with covid could be Bedford, Jackson and Oliver?

    All live in the one household and this purely going off Bedford's instagram..

    Both Clarry and Bedford were in the training photo's put up on the website just now. I think Trac, Spargo and Kossie all live together (or did last year) - none of them are in the photo's?

    Neither is Dogga, JJ, Gus, Kozzy or Sparrow. So pretty unsure how we figure it out 😂

     

    Jacko confirmed out (according to Mitch Cleary), and apparently no Kozzy or Trac at training.

    Update - Scratch that, Trac was there.

    Trac was at AAMI today 


    Sam Edmund live on SEN now - 

    • Did not divulge names but suggested he was pretty sure he knew who they were.
    • When asked how significant the players were responded it was "1 or 2 best 22 and next generation stars"

     

    LJ plus one other young gun plus a player outside the current 22 is best bet at the moment.

    Is anyone else all of a sudden excited about this weekend!? 

    This has gone from cousins-wedding-in-country type indifference to cannot bloody wait!!

    Classic MFC fan revisionism of BB. He was fantastic at North and has been, and currently is, the best tall forward we have.

    I said footy not tall forward...I reckon you are correct about BBB.

    I used to hate him at North..big fan now

    If they win this one will any [censored] from elsewhere say that they haven't beaten anyone important?

     


    This post probably won't age well, but here's a crack anyway:

    In - Lever, Viney, T Mac

    Out- Jackson, Kozzie, Smith.

    Hopefully nobody else tests positive in the meantime.

    I do not know what all the talk is about Dunstan suffering Concussion. ?  He never did according to the MFC and in fact came back on the ground after the incident. Even the MFC www site never mentions the word "concussion"

    Add to the Demons woes at the selection table is the fact now that Hibbo is available but I tend to agree with you.

    IN: Viney and Lever

    OUT: Dunstan (unlucky) and Smith ( gave away two goals which is a No No...)

    Looks like Dunstan stays David given it is looking like Clarry might have gotten the bug

    Edit:  scrap that....aside from Dogga it could be anyone else at this point ie; hopefully not Clarry!

    If Jackson is out would we bring in another ruckman?  Hawks aren't that tall and Max should take care of their rookie uckman on his own with only a little help from friends.

    Maybe we bring in Melksham for Jackson and Bedford for Kozzie (if Kozzie is in iso).

    Jackson is confirmed out.

    Surely T Mac just comes in for him and Gawn shoulders almost all of the ruck work.

    Viney likely to not play again this week.

    Just a rumour that was passed on second hand.

    I was suggesting we go in with one ruckman.

    The only ruck Hawks have is Lynch who is a rookie.  McElvoy and Ceglar both out injured.

    And while TMc does some ruck work he isn't a CB tap or clearance type ruckman so not sure he could play the Jackson role.

    I think they should give Majak a go.

    Weideman is a very good forward ruck.

    TMac to come back

    T-Mac used to handle a bit of ruck work, mostly forward of course.  Probably takes the odd one now but he's mostly covered off by one of Dogga or Gawn and is a rare go to of late

    But with Dogga out?  I would say they will still go with the Weid as a pinch hitting (read put body next to opposing ruckman, contest but no we aren't expecting you to ever win a tap to advantage) ruck up forward.

    Anyway all speculation until we have confirmation of who has the bloody lurgy.


    Football world: No one is close to challenging Melbourne this season!!

    CoVID: Hold my beer...

    With 15-35mm rain forecast for Melbourne on Saturday, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that if a tall player misses (eg, Jackson) he's replaced with a smaller player. 

     

    So Dunstan gets another shot....unless of course he also got....

    I reckon Dazzle and a few others here might need to get down to training tomorrow

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
