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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
