But not like the 3 players and Goody

Edited by Satan

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!

l thought petracca lived with kosi and another (maybe Jackson), although can't recall where that's fromΒ

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

Getting tested?

Physio or gym session most likely.

Not in isolation though..

all that matters is he wasn't isolating

he was walking fine with no bandaging

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.

  • 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.Β  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 fieryΒ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayΒ at the end of the gameΒ 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.
