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

It was taken today apparently.

Best guess would be maybe light duties, especially given the talk around him playing sore. Either way, he's not in ISO, so that's a good sign.

He may have already had Covid recently

Here's hoping

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"

We trained at AAMI yesterday, that footage could be from then. Trac was also on 360 last night.

i think that settles the 3 for now. Kozzy & LJ and the 3rd probably at Casey.

Thanks.  So he could be in iso today.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, Christian, Spargo and Kozzie share abode and none are in today's Casey photos.😬

This was the person who posted that video.

My guess is Clarrie, LJ & Toby Bedford.

Clarry and Bedford trained today. Jackson and Pickett did not.

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. 

Hope so, but the trouble with Omicron is that you could get it now and then get another dose in September.

Pretty sure Christian moved out and lives with his GF.

100% correct. He lives with this partner in Kew.

Clarry has also bought a house and lives with his partner. 

Neither of those boys live with Jackson and Pickett. Jackson and Pickett used to live with the Brayshaw's but have moved out together. I don't know if Rivers lives with them as well.

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

I meant pre-season.

You don't need to isolate or even test if you have had Covid 12 weeks prior to coming into contact with someone who has Covid. 

Does anyone have the definitive list of 3 players / 1 abode?

Given Jackson confirmed and that instagram post I guess Bedford is a monty which leaves one young best 22.

Yep true but you do have a higher immunity for around 10 months, so ive read.

Ive had it but 4 weeks later im still not 100%, so im not sure how it effects players overall longer term. Hopefully their immune systems are better than mine.

Both of these guys were away from Melbourne when the main outbreak occurred during xmas and NY. So it kind of makes sense that they are one of few left unscathed.

The week off will clearly give him time to read and sign his new contract!!!!

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.

True but I reckon The disruption might cause us some issues and there is a fair chance of more players getting it. Hawks playing decent footy

also not having our head coach will impact us a bit

My best guess would be Kosi as I am fairly sure he lives with Jacko and Bedford.

As someone noted above, considering Jackson and Kosi spent a lot of time in the off season not in Victoria (and in fact Jacko was in WA for a lot of it where Covid was still non existent), it makes sense they have caught it now. 

It is also no coincidence in my opinion that guys like Lever, Viney and Goodwin who all have kids, have caught it recently. Daycares and schools are mass spreaders. School back on Tuesday could explain why Goody has it.

Are you saying that's the AFL's protocols? I'm not sure that would be correct. Every player is tested regularly as far as I'm aware, no matter where they may sit in that 12 week period.

You're on the money for general public, but as we've seen this year, the AFL's protocols aren't always the same.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
