    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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
