Sauce?

Can I go for the boring one and say tomato?

 

I've heard there's no further cases than those reported. Stiff on SOS, who would have been in line for a debut.

    Aaron Davey for Kozy, Jeff White for Jackson, Yze for Sparrow. I hope Cam Bruce is ready to switch sides, if Fritta is out. 

    no room for morton?

    Helpful that Langdon plays the whole game on the southern wing side. Will make it easier for Yze to communicate with the bench.

    even better, just get langdon to play both wings.....i'm sure he could manage it

    Is he out with concussion?


    While everyone is acting like Nervous Nellie waiting for the next imaginary Covid19 test result, the Hawks have some injury concerns of their own to worry about.

    CJ Jiath, Mitch Lewis and McEvoy all pretty important players for the Dorks.

    Neita to pull the boots back on if this keeps up!

    I would have thought Sauce Baker would be ahead of him - BOG for Casey against the Toiges

     

    Not worried about our outs as they are not in the same 'line' on the field.  We can cover our 2nd ruck, rotating mid and small forward without upsetting the synergy of the team.

    If we get more cases the risk is if they are concentrated in one part of the ground it starts to upset our synergy, ball movement and defensive patterns. 

    Even then if everyone brings effort and attitude we will get the job done.

    Presumably not a fan of the supergroup Cream. Anyone who remembers that band would automatically call Oskar Baker "Ginger" rather than "Sauce".

    Casey v Box Hill at this stage...

    No way does Majak play. It's going to be bucketing down raining. They'll go for the extra small whether that's Melksham or Chandler.

    I watched Melksham very closely last week Dazzle and his intensity was there definately! I would not be at all surprised to see him in the team at all!

    The real problem are the ‘unknown unknowns.’

    They’re the ones that get you.

    From another sauce I've heard another 3 with testing positive with more still to occur. Crikey there could be 8 or 9 changes by start time. Don't need to say not great preparation however cometh the hour cometh the man. Hope none of our "Superstars" are affected.

    Perfect football weather:  Wind and rain in the morning.  Sunny afternoon.  Light winds in the evening.

    MCG surface will be dry as a bone by the time the game starts.

    Brings T Mac back into contention but I'm starting to warm a little for Melksham

    It would be unlikely Toby Bedford avoids infection with his 2 housemates positive 

    Not sure about that. I know of 3 cases (friends) where co-habitants have not been infected.

    Same. I know spouses who share a bed where one got Covid and the other didn’t.

    If Tom doesn't get a guernsey this week he may as well apply for the Giants coaching job.

    He probably needs to kick five and hit Weid lace out on the chest( he'll spill them ) to hold his spot

    I've heard Fauci created covid in a lab when on a secondment in China.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
