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 😂

[Lord Nev 13,512]

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

Update - Scratch that, Trac was there.

Yep, had already updated my post.

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?

 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,862]

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.

[Lord Nev 13,512]

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.

Well, this is more interesting than the normal ins and outs thread, in a worrying sort of way.

[rpfc 28,541]

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.

could be half the team out come sunday

nobody knows

c'est la covid

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

CoVID: Hold my beer...

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,816]

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.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

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
