    Could potentially be 4 players out, plus another unwell (not COVID though I don't think).

    Viney's crook and likely won't pull up. Jacko, Clarry, Sparrow and Toby are the names I heard.

    I know some of them were at training, but from a usually decent source.

    Yep. We can cover 3 players easily as long as they are not Gawn, Oliver and Trac.

    Ladbrokes also pulled the game.Β 

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

    We could be shorter odds to win the flag than our next game. I wonder if that has ever happened?

    Should we call Zaharakis and ask him to start stretching just in case?

    If that's the case, you'd think it's Tmac, Melky and lever back with Chandler as the sub.

    Depending on how many miss, this is a great opportunity for players at VFL level to have a crack.Β  A win or two with 5+ players out due to Covid will have the whole comp fearing us even more than they already do.Β  Get it done dees!

    Which begs the question what was he doing at AAMI when everyone else was at Casey Fields?

    Physio or gym session most likely.

    Not in isolation though..

    My thoughts exactly. Fingers crossed that it was just routine and part of the management plan.Β

    Viney, Lever, TMac, Hibbo, Tomlinson, Melksham, Daw, Mitch Brown

    That's 8 experienced and/or high quality players waiting in the wings right now as reasonable replacements.

    Plus some kids in Bedford, Chandler, Rodman, Laurie, Van Rooyen who aren't really best 22 but are developing along and would probably be getting a game in other AFL sides.

    Now is a good time to get covid in the club with virtually no injuries. Depending on who is out, we could lose 3-6 players and still compete/win.

    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.

    Good luck yourself. God, there's a lot of it around.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Β

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
