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

    no LJ
    no Trac
    no Sparrow

    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

    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

    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.

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

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
