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.

    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.😬

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
