Training gallery shows Jackson training yesterday, if he’s one of the 3 it means he’s tested positive after the session or this morning. How often do they get tested these days?

There was a gallery released yesterday which Dogga was involved, however in todays LJ was not seen. Nor Trac, or Kozzy

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Max and Langdon also in the photos, can’t see Gus in any of the photos.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Just looking at the training gallery from today. Assuming that the infected players wont be at training today. And so here is what i was able to see (or not see):

no LJ

no Trac

no Sparrow

no JJ

no Viney

no Kozzy

no BBB

no Brayshaw

no Petty

 

But there were pics of May, Lever, Hunt, Rivers, Smith, Bowey, Hibberd, Gawn, Clarry, Dunstan, Lingers, Baker, Fritch, Weid, Tmac, ANB, Milkshake, Bedford, Mitch Brown & Majak

I think TMac will come in for LJ and we may possibly use one of the 3 forwards to rotate through the ruck as they all have a level of experience. 

Agreed, I think Weideman goes into the ruck but would love to see Daw get a chance.

35mm of rain is expected for Saturday. Could be worth going smaller

Jackson was a little off on Sunday Night, hopefully he wasn't already infected.

Haha yeah Just discovered the same thing - although I wasn't going to load up on the Hawks.

We've got Lever and Viney coming in- 2 handy players.

If Dogga is out Tmac will get the nod - he does a fair bit of forward ruck work anyway. 

Dunstan will stay and only be better for the run. And plenty still to choose from.

If we were playing Brisbane or Freo, I might have a concern but Hawthorn .......... meh ...... 4 points on the way.

I spy with my little eye:

Dunstan, Gawn, Oliver, Smith, May, Baker, Fritsch, Langdon, Melksham, Hunt, Van Rooyen, Harmes, Chandler, Lever, Turner, McVee, Weideman, Hibberd, Rivers, Daw, M Brown, TMac, ANB 

And interestingly Bedford (picture 19 of 22). 
 

Yze said Viney returns tomorrow. 
 

Of our best 22 candidates I can’t see Trac (please god no!), B Brown (unlikely, just had it), Jackson, Bowey (Demonland I can’t see him which photo?), Petty, JJ, Sparrow, Kozzie, Spargo, Brayshaw, Tomlinson. 
 

I hope it’s our VFL boys (no offence guys), worrying if Bedford has it as it looks like he was there…

EDIT: while I was writing Jackson was confirmed.

Ladbrokes also pulled the game. 

Mined you we are now $2.70 to win the flag. Might be wrong but never seen a team that short after 6 rounds.

Yep and Lever was meant to be there today. 
 

At the end of the day every club has and will be impacted by Covid. It’s best to have it happen now and get it going thru the club than come finals. The players and coaches infected during the season should have decent immunity up until the end of the season now which is good. 
 

Of course nobody wants Covid and I suspect the recent issue with Wines is probably a post Covid issue as the exact same thing has happened to my friend post Covid. But it’s 2022 and we need to get used to this new reality. 
At least we have guys at Casey who are dying to take their chances at senior level.

It’s only Wednesday don’t be surprised if there are more, this could hurt us for a couple of weeks with players missing training, but better it happens now and not in September 

[layzie 33,814]

Bedford being there today definitely worries me.

its possible, but we will know most of it by now anyway, with Omicron typically taking 3 days to cause symptoms. PCR test will probably pick it up as early as day 2 following exposure. So we may get another few tomorrow given LJ was at the light-run yesterday if the reports are true.

But training was at Casey; why would Christian be at AAMi, assuming that video was taken today.

Apologies @Lord Nevthat quote was a pocket-post.

He's been sub for 6 straight weeks, so wouldn't think so.
