    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. 

    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.  A win or two with 5+ players out due to Covid will have the whole comp fearing us even more than they already do.  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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
