    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
